Turnovers End the Huntley Boy's Basketball Season

Huntley dug a hole they could never climb out of as they committed 6 first quarter turnovers that led to 9 Auburn points.  

The Knights jumped out to a 12-0 lead before Troy Miller hit a 3-pointer for the Raiders first basket and Huntley trailed 16-5 as the first quarter buzzer sounded.

The second quarter was even worse as Huntley turned the ball over 10 more times and Auburn scored 15 of their 16 second quarter points off those turnovers to grab a 32-13 halftime lead.

The Raiders regrouped a bit after halftime and outscored Auburn by 5 in the third to trail 45-31.  Huntley could not get the lead back to single digits and went on to lose 62-48.

Huntley had no answer defensively for Auburn's Fred Van Fleet who scored a game high 35 points including 9 straight in the fourth.  The Knights will play the winner of Wednesday nights other Sectional Semi-Final between McHenry and Elgin in the Sectional Final on Friday night.

Senior Troy Miller led Huntley in scoring with 16 points.  Senior Justin Frederick was also in double figures with 12 points.  Huntley finished the 2011-2012 season with a record of 26-4 which is just one victory short of the school record for wins in a season.
