According to the village, in October 2005, Huntley received a jurisdictional transfer for 2.05 miles of Huntley-Dundee Road, including the intersection of Kreutzer Road, from McHenry County.

Seeing as each leg of the intersection belongs to different jurisdictions, an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between Kane and McHenry counties and the villages of Algonquin, Carpentersville, Gilberts, and Huntley was established to ensure a “mutual cooperation of the governmental entities to ensure the safe and efficient flow of traffic along the Longmeadow Parkway/Huntley-Dundee Road/Kreutzer Road.”

The Red Raiders prepared for league dual matches with three tournaments. The Red Raiders were runner-up at their own 14-team tournament at Pinecrest Golf Club Aug.18 after two fourth-place finishes at other tournaments.
