Wheaton Warrenville South Defender Tim Litterio was a very tough defender who was fairly underrated. I saw him play in the pepsi showdown and he controls the Wheaton Warrenville South defense fairly well. He is a big guy and loves going in for those hard tackles. He dominated the powerful attack of LWC.
