WOODSTOCK – With a 51-48 victory against Johnsburg, the Woodstock girls basketball team not only upset the Skyhawks, but the Blue Streaks shook up the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division in the process.

The Skyhawks (17-6 overall, 7-1 FVC Fox) suffered their first loss of the conference season after they were outscored, 18-10, in the fourth quarter. Johnsburg had led, 38-33, after three.
