About this Article

Huntley's home golf course is Pinecrest, but senior Ryan Craig has always considered Crystal Woods Golf Club his second home. The Huntley standout lives about a mile from Crystal Woods, located on Illinois Route 47 in Woodstock. Thus, he has played it more times than he can count. That knowledge worked to his advantage Wednesday when the standout shot a 2-under par 70 to win the individual Fox Valley Conference Tournament title by 5 strokes, thereby leading the Red Raiders to their second straight FVC team title.
