Based purely on win–loss record, Dundee-Crown ’s football team has not been a significant player in the Fox Valley Conference during the past decade.

In that span, the Chargers have amassed a record of 17-79 and – save for their 4-5 season in 2018 – have not won more than two games in any season.

Change may be on the horizon, however.

After its 28-0 victory over Crystal Lake South on Friday, which followed a 24-0 shutout of Hampshire in Week 4, D-C sits at 3-2 and in a four-way tie for third place with Huntley, Cary-Grove and Jacobs. The Chargers’ two losses came to McHenry (17-14) and Huntley (28-27). They led both games in the fourth quarter.

D-C has posted back-to-back shutouts for the first time since 1998 (8-0 over Grayslake and 41-0 over Crystal Lake Central in Weeks 3 and 4).
