The Huntley girls volleyball team lost to DeKalb 25-22, 25-21 in the final of the Huntley Regional on Saturday. The loss ends the team's season.
It's hard to find holes in the argument that the Huntley girls volleyball team received one of the IHSA's toughest playoff seedings this year. The most obvious and nationally-known point supporting this argument was a potential showdown with Cary-Grove, the team ranked No. 1 in the country which gave Huntley two of their four regular-season losses this season, in sectionals. But things weren't easy for the Red Raiders in regional play, either, even though they hosted the Class 4A Huntley Regional.

Junior has high hopes of beating Cary, a volleyball team that is ranked No. 1 by ESPN Rise.
The Huntley volleyball team is 24-3 in their 2010 season, and it has lived up to its own pre-season expectations. Huntley and LITH Patch recently caught up with Red Raiders outside hitter Sam Boesch a couple hours before she hit 12 kills in Huntley's 25-21, 25-21 victory over Crystal Lake South Oct. 14.

Huntley and LITH Patch: How has your season has been going so far? Sam Boesch: Our season has been going really good so far.
