Four McHenry County High School Soccer Players to Watch

Two attacks built around end product

For Huntley, the headline is Murray’s finishing.

  • Tyler Murray reportedly scored 16 goals in 2025
  • Huntley went a perfect 9 wins in conference play
  • The side also reached a Class 3A regional final

That matters because teams with a reliable scorer tend to carry a clear identity. If Huntley again controls games in the final third, Murray looks likely to be the reference point.

At Richmond-Burton, Kyes appears to carry even more volume.

  • Nick Kyes was credited with 31 goals and 22 assists
  • Richmond-Burton reportedly won 17 matches last season
  • The program also reached key postseason games in consecutive years

That blend of scoring and creation is hard to replace and even harder to scheme against.

Prus gives Crystal Lake South balance

Will Prus looks important for a different reason. The report says he delivered 9 goals and 15 assists, numbers that point to a midfielder who can decide games with either the final pass or the final touch. Crystal Lake South reportedly made a postseason push and reached a regional final, so the next step may depend on whether Prus can keep linking midfield control with direct attacking output.

Moore sets Crystal Lake Central’s floor

Not every standout season starts with goals. Justin Moore appears to be the defensive pillar in Crystal Lake Central’s side.

  • The report says the team allowed only 17 goals in 21 matches
  • Moore was recognized as the team’s defensive player of the year
  • Crystal Lake Central reportedly finished as conference runner-up

That kind of platform keeps a team competitive even on difficult nights.

The next storyline is simple: can these four turn strong individual 2025 numbers into team trophies in 2026? As the season opens, each looks set to shape not just his own side, but the wider race across the county.
