Huntley V-Ball Heads Down State
By Brent Weber
For the second time in the Huntley High School's history, its varsity team will play in Elite Eight competition.
On Saturday, Nov. 5, the Huntley volleyball team made the IHS A field of eight by winning the Savanna Class A Supersectional title in
convincing fashion with a 15- 11,15-4 win over Lenark Eastland High School. Prior to the Supersectional victory, Huntley had to advance through Regional and Sectional competition in this single elimination tournament The toughest match, as expected, was in the Sectional finals against arch rival Marian Central. Huntley
won in a three-game thriller, 17-15,11-15,15-8. Coacii Larry Kaiil and the girls have worked extremely
hard throughout the season, compiling a 34-5 record. Their quarterfinal match is against Princeton at 8:30am on Friday, Nov. 11, at Illinois State University's Redbird Arena. Best of Luck, Ladyskins!
