Sam Deligio ran 16 times for 204 yards and 2 second-half touchdowns, leading Huntley to a 27-19 victory over Crystal Lake South at an emotionally charged Red Raider Stadium.
Huntley's football players lifted up quarterback Sam Deligio every day during the toughest week of his life.
"He's got the team's back and we have his back. Just unbelievable grit and resolve. I'm super-proud of him. The guys rallied behind him all week. To stay focused and get your team to an 8-1 record and a share of the conference championship is super-special." South gained 295 total yards in the first half, but between the Raiders' defensive adjustments and ball-control offense, they kept South to 24 offensive plays in the second half.
Huntley drove to the 25 and South coach Rob Fontana, trailing 20-19, opted to let the Raiders score. Deligio ran it in and Mason Wojtas' point-after made it 27-19.
