FOX VALLEY VALLEY

Outlook: Huntley is the clear-cut favorite to repeat as champion with all but two players back from last year’s team that finished 25-5 and reached a sectional final.

Top five players: Amanze Egekeze, Huntley, F, So.; Troy Miller, Huntley, G, Sr.; Brandon Rodriguez, Dundee-Crown, G, Jr.; Robert Tonyan, McHenry, F, Sr.; Sean Valentine, Prairie Ridge, G

Keep an eye on: Nick Geake, Crystal Lake South, G, Jr.

Did you know? For the first time, the winner of the FVC Valley and FVC Fox will collide in a crossover matchup at the end of the regular season.

Quote: “Nobody expected us to win the conference last year, so you just never know. Everybody has pieces, and it will just come down to who gets them to fit the best.” – Huntley coach Marty Manning

Predicted finish: Huntley, Dundee-Crown, McHenry, Jacobs, Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake South, Prairie Ridge.
