Athlete

of the week

AMY DION
Huntley, sophomore

Dion, a libero, propelled the Red Raiders to win their own tournament last weekend, and rebounded after a loss early in the week to McHenry to beat Crystal Lake South on Thursday with 12 digs. The loss knocked the Gators out of a tie with Cary-Grove for the top spot in the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division.

Dion helped Huntley go 3-2 and finish 11th in the Glenbard East Autumnfest Tournament this weekend. She had more than 80 digs this week.
