Across competitive seasons, Huntley anglers have shown consistency and sportsmanship while qualifying for state-level competition in both standard and unified divisions. Their success reflects the school’s broader commitment to inclusive athletics and competitive excellence. We’re proud to support a program that brings dedication, diversity, and real on-the-water results to the world of high school fishing.
