With just less than a month remaining in the regular season, teams in the wide open Fox Valley Conference Fox Division may want to start to pay attention to Prairie Ridge.

The Wolves are putting it together at the right time on both sides of the ball, and may have what it takes to come out on top at the end. Crystal Lake Central became the latest victim of the Prairie Ridge pressure defense as the Wolves defeated the Tigers 67-54 in a FVC Fox Division matchup at Crystal Lake Central High School.
