Huntley hasn’t trailed much in Fox Valley Conference games this season but found itself down early against a Hampshire team determined to hand the Red Raiders their first FVC loss.

Burlington Central twice made big scoring runs at Hampshire – netting 10 straight points in the third quarter and nine straight points in the fourth – as the Whip-Purs looked to put the Rockets away Friday in their Fox Valley Conference game.

Stevenson junior forward Emory Klatt outscored Hampshire in the first quarter with eight points and was tough on the glass with seven rebounds.

It was a second quarter to remember for Maine South.

Clutch free throws and a critical blocked shot.
