No one who follows girls basketball in Illinois would dispute Huntley’s potential to accomplish big things in the future. But the question for the Red Raiders going into Monday night’s Class 4A Dundee-Crown supersectional was how a team with only one senior starter would handle the big challenge it faced in Wheaton Warrenville South. They answered it by never letting go of the lead they took early in the second quarter. By exhibiting patience and discipline for the right shots and by showing the grit and determination to handle every flurry thrown at them by Wheaton South junior standout Meghan Waldron. And the Red Raiders (26-6) celebrated the biggest step in their historic ride with a huge contingent of fans who made the trip to nearby Carpentersville and witnessed a 47-43 victory which ended a 15-game winning streak for the Tigers (29-4).
