It’s not how your start, but how you finish, and Batavia finds itself still standing.
The Bulldogs suffered their worst loss of the year in their season opener at Neuqua Valley back when the leaves hadn’t even started to change colors yet.
On Saturday, though, at the Class 3A Waubonsie Valley regional championship, the Bulldogs played those same Wildcats. This time they were victorious, winning 3-1 to advance to Tuesday’s Class 3A Metea Valley sectional semifinals, where they’ll face Naperville Central at 6:3oPM.
