The Northwest Herald girls basketball preview will appear in print next week, with info on every local team. Until then, here are five storylines to look out for in the 2025-26 season.

What’s in store for Huntley?

Nobody could have predicted what Huntley went on to accomplish last season. The Red Raiders, led by Northwest Herald Player of the Year Anna Campanelli , won their first 35 games and were the last undefeated team in the state.

Huntley ended its historic season with a 57-33 loss to Loyola Academy in a Class 4A supersectional , one win short of its second state appearance ever.

Huntley’s 35 wins not only set a new team high, topping the 30 the 2016 Raiders achieved, but it also was the most by any team in McHenry County history. (Hampshire went 32-2 in 2022-23).
