Win or lose, this was bound to be a special football season in the Viscogliosi household.
Caleb Viscogliosi is a Yorkville senior outside linebacker and team captain. His younger brother, Dillon Viscogliosi, is a junior who plays middle linebacker.
The older Viscogliosi calls all of his teammates “brothers,” but this is the first season since 9U football that Caleb and his actual blood brother are teammates.
“It’s a surreal feeling, amazing. I tried to get him to play baseball, but he’s not all for that,” Caleb Viscogliosi said. “We never really realized how close and how lucky we were going to be until this year.”
The season just keeps on getting more special.
Yorkville is 5-0, off to its best start since 2019, and in large part can thank a defense that has allowed just 39 points.
