The bigger the moment the better Dundee-Crown played Thursday night in a noisy and nearly packed gym at the Class 4A Huntley sectional title game.
That certainly was true for junior Alyssa Crenshaw who buried an 18-foot jumper with her team trailing Barrington by a point in the final two minutes.
Teammate Payton Schmidt proved just as clutch moments later at the free-throw line. She sank 3-of-4 in the last 37 seconds to clinch a 43-37 victory and the school’s first sectional championship since 2003.

Note: Some residents don’t realize (or seldom remember) that a small portion of Barrington Hills falls into District 300, particularly Dundee-Crown High School, making this something (though minor) of a Village rivalry. Congratulations to the Dundee-Crown Chargers!
