Lake Forest 6 - Zion Benton 0
The Sophomore Lake Forest Scouts headed north to take on the Zion Benton Zee Bees in their final showdown of the 2009 season.  The Scouts went into the game at 4-4, needing a victory to secure a winning record, but Zion was determined to not let that happen.  The game was going to be a contest of will as the footing on the field was poor, the wind blustering, and the rain was coming down horizontally, limiting visibility.  Whichever team wanted it more was going to come away with the win. 

The Scout defense took the field first and gave some ground at first, but as usual, inside the 15 yard line, forced a Zee Bee turnover on downs to give the ball back to the mighty Scout offense.  Unfortunately, the Lake Forest game plan needed to be scrapped when the field and weather conditions dictated that throwing the ball was all but out of the question.  It was going to be up to the powerful Scout offensive linemen Alex Watkins, Brandon Moccia, Tyler Funk, Grant Dethlefson, and Danny McGavock clearing running lanes for quarterback Jordan Beck and running backs Cole Bevis and Brad Stambolic.  But the Scouts had to punt the ball away on their first possession and the opening salvos of the game had been fired on both sides.  The first half went quickly as the Scout defensive line of Funk, Dethlefson, Jason Handler, Brad Miller, Matt Wagener, JP Duranleau, and Sean Harris stymied the running game of the home team and shut them out in the first two quarters.  The Scout receivers Luke Bernardi, Cam Douglass, John Marwede, and Riley Scholer blocked fearlessly in the first half along with tight ends Jack Wright, George Stamelos, and Handler.  But neither could Lake Forest find their way into the end zone, leaving the game scoreless at the intermission.  The linebacking corps ruled the second half as Brandt Pfeifer, Phil Sheridan, Miller McComish, and Stamelos punished the failing Zion running game while Duke Durot, Sam Moran, Alex Athenson, Connor Ford, Ben Warren, and Bevis limited the Zion air attack to virtually nothing. Warren knocked down a key fourth-down pass late in the fourth quarter as he has in his lockdown coverage all year.  But the defensive highlight of the night was provided by Bevis.  As the Zion quarterback threw up a pass along the numbers, Bevis swooped in from the safety position, stepped in front of the receiver, picked off the pass, and returned the interception 34 yards.  This particularly fired up running back Connor Glynn, who was the first to congratulate Bevis.

With four minutes remaining the game and the score still knotted at zero, the Zion offense took over and drove the ball down to the Scout 37 yard line.  Here, the Scouts called time out and regrouped.  They dug into the mud and stopped the Zee Bees on four consecutive plays to give Beck and co. one final chance to drive 78 yards for the victory.  But with only 1:23 left on the clock, they would need a miracle.

Deciding they would find a way, Beck heaved a long pass down to the middle of the field into the outstretched arms of a diving Bevis for the first Scouts first down of the drive and bringing the Scouts into Zion territory.  Running the hurry up offense, the Scouts pushed the ball on the ground to the 19-yard line.  On 4th and 1 with 25 seconds left, three running backs and the offensive line pushed Beck past the first marker and all the way down to the 12-yard line.  A corner route to Sheridan in the end zone was well defended and fell incomplete, leaving the Scouts with 8 seconds left in their season.  With everything on the line, Beck dropped back to pass needing nothing short of a touchdown.  He looked to his left to draw the safety over and came back to Bevis down the middle of the field.  With darkness falling and the wind still howling, he launched the mud-covered ball into the end zone.  Here, he found one of his favorite targets, Cole Bevis, sprinting behind his defender and slightly behind the ball.  With one last effort, he dove again and the ball fell softly into his outstretched arms as he landed in the end zone and slid a good ten yards.  The referees fired their arms up into the air, signaling touchdown and giving the Scouts a 6-0 victory and a winning record on the season.

Lake Forest 15 - Lake Zurich 18
The Lake Forest Scouts fell to the Lake Zurich Bears in a game that will go down as the one of the best of the sophomore North Suburban Lake Conference season.  The Scouts came in riding high after an emphatic 30-21 victory over the Grant sophs last week.  It was a beautiful, but brisk night in Lake Zurich and Lake Forest wasted no time, as Cam Douglass returned the opening kickoff to around midfield to give quarterback Jordan Beck and the Scouts offense great field position to lead off the game.  The Scouts couldn't find the scoreboard on their first possession, and Lake Zurich began marching downfield after a solid Cole Bevis punt, but the Bears found the Scout red zone defense staunch and unyielding.  The D tightened inside the 10 yard line as has been the story all year and held the Bears to just a field goal on their first possession.  The Scouts took the ball back and immediately drove down in response to the Lake Zurich field goal.  The Scouts drive nearly stalled as they faced 4th and 6 at the Bears 40 yard line, but a Beck completion to Riley Scholer kept the chains moving.  Scholer made the clutch catch in his first start of the season.  A leaping 14-yard catch by Douglass brought the Scouts within the 5-yard line, but the Bear defense tightened up and stopped the three consecutive Beck sneak attempts and left the Scouts with a tricky 18-yard field goal attempt from the far right hash.  As he has done all year, Sam Moran knocked the kick straight through the uprights with authority, tying the game at 3-3.  That would be the score as both teams headed to their respective locker rooms at halftime.

The third quarter began as the sky faded to black and the blue helmets really began to shine underneath the lights.  With the Scouts facing 2nd and 12 around midfield, Beck connected with Phil Sheridan for a dramatic 15-yard catch and run.  Sheridan skillfully eluded a Lake Zurich defender to scamper past the first-down marker.  From here the Lake Forest offensive line took over, lead by Tyler Funk and Brandon Moccia on the left side, Luke Landsell and Danny McGavok on the right, and Alex Watkins snapping.  They led running backs Cole Bevis and Brad Stambolic down to the Bear 5-yard line.  With a powerful surge, the offensive line opened up a hole big enough for Bevis to power his way into the end zone giving the Scouts a 9-3 advantage.  Bevis and Stambolic ran hard all night, with Stambolic bruising his way downhill and Bevis expertly juking the Lake Zurich defenders.  But the Bears were not going to go away easily.  They came back with a long, time-consuming drive that ended in a touchdown and extra point, pushing ahead 10-9.

This only fired up the Scout offense, and they effortlessly moved the ball down the field.  Beck, Bevis, and Stambolic proved too much to handle on the ground and Beck's connection down the seam to Sheridan brought the Scouts once again to within striking distance of taking the lead.  With under six minutes remaining in the game, Beck found tight end George Stamelos in the end zone as he has done so many times this season for the go-ahead score.  A valiant effort by Beck and Bevis on the two-point conversion failed, but the Scouts still held a 15-10 advantage.  Lake Zurich took the ball with 65 between them and the end zone and just a few minutes remaining on the clock.  A few key offensive play calls moved the Bears inside the Scouts 10 yard line.  The Scouts D held tough on 1st and 2nd down, but the Lake Zurich runner squeaked into the corner of the end zone, and with a two point conversion, took control of the scoreboard at 18-15.  The Scouts took the field with under a minute remaining and 70 yards to go, but could not manage to push down the field.  The Scouts held their heads high after the epic battle, having played as a team for 40 minutes and leaving everything on the field.  This appears to be the start of an intense rivalry that will surely spill over into the varsity season next year.  The loss leaves the Scouts 4-4 on the season and 4-2 in conference.  They will go for a winning record in Zion Benton next Friday.  The Scouts and Zee Bees will kick off in the season finale at 5:00.

Lake Forest 30 - Grant 21
The Lake Forest Sophomores squared off against the Grant Bulldogs in NSC Conference play Friday night.  Both teams were jockeying for position atop their respective divisions and a battle ensued.  The Scouts struck early with a red-zone touchdown pass to George Stamelos from Jordan Beck, but it would not be the last time the two connected.  The defense had their chance and stood their ground on a crucial 4th and short to start the second quarter, stopping a Grant rush in the backfield and essentially setting the tone for the rest of the evening.  Grant's next possession did not fare much better as Phil Sheridan and Ben Warren combined to force the ball loose from the Bulldog ball carrier and Brad Miller pounced on the ball on the turf to give the ball back to the mighty Scout offense.  Wide receiver Luke Bernardi got in on the action and converted a critical 3rd and 7 around midfield with a leaping grab.  The offense stalled out in the red zone so Sam Moran was called in to effortlessly boot a 25-yard field goal near the end of the first half.  An unfortunate breakdown in special teams sent both teams to the locker rooms with Grant leading 14-10.

The second half was all Lake Forest however.

Beck opened the second-half scoring with a short playaction pass to Stamelos again, who broke three tackles and took it the distance with an impressive 33-yard scoring catch and run.  Stamelos proved too strong to tackle and too quick to stop on the explosive play.  Then it was the defense's turn again.  Jason Handler came up with a key 4th down sack of the Grant quarterback.  That was not all though as the pressure from the defensive line continued.  The Scouts were even sharp on their punt return team as they foiled a Grant fake-punt attempt as Ben Warren knocked down a pass headed for a first down.  Warren is arguably the best cover corner in the league, and he proved it again against Grant.  From here the offensive line took over as Cole Bevis broke off an electric run off tackle to set up another display of Beck's athleticism.  After the Bevis run left the Scouts knocking on Grant's door, Beck took off running to the left and picked up lead blocker Brandon Moccia, who lead Beck in for a 26-yard touchdown run.  The third quarter closed with the Scouts holding a slim 23-21 advantage.

The Scouts turned the ball over early in the fourth, but the Bulldog's offense was once again stifled on their opportunity to take back the lead.  Inside the Lake Forest 40 yard line, a Grant sneak attempt on 4th and inches was turned away by tackles Grant Dethlefson and Tyler Funk and linebacker Brandt Pfiefer.  Grant had one last opportunity as Bevis set up to punt and boomed a kick 40 yards downfield where the Grant returner muffed the catch, and Cam Douglass made the hustle play of the evening and dove on the loose ball to turn the momentum in Lake Forest's favor for good.  The offensive line punctuated the victory by leading Beck into the endzone on a QB sneak from the 1 yard line, making the final score 30-21.

The Scouts were proud to win on the Varsity Senior Night and look forward to seeing you at their next game Friday night at Lake Zurich.  it will be a contest until the finish and will need a full team effort to keep their hopes of a conference championship alive.
