Lake Forest 35 - Kaneland 10
For the first time in three games, the Scouts didn't have to come from behind in the second half of a game; instead, they got on the board in the first quarter on a Richie Hoskins' one-yard run and a Colin Sloan kick for a 7-0 lead with 4:25 left in the first quarter--which put them in the lead for good as a result of a balanced Scout offensive and defensive attack throughout the game.
The Scouts scored again in the first quarter after an interception by Connor Morrison led to a touchdown on 15-yard run by Hoskins along with a PAT by Sloan for a 14-0 lead with 1:18 left in the first quarter.
The only score in the second quarter was a 32-yard field goal by Kaneland for a 14-3 Scout lead at halftime.
In the third quarter, the Scouts had a turnover when they received the second-half kickoff, but the defense prevented Kaneland from scoring when they got the ball. Once the Scouts got the ball back on downs, they marched 81 yards, and Max Uihlein scored the first of his three touchdowns on a four-yard run and a PAT by Sloan with 7:29 on the clock---Score: 21-3 Scouts.
Leo Scheidler ended a Kaneland drive with an interception later in the third quarter and the Scouts went on a 74-yard drive culminating in Uihlein's second touchdown on a three-yard run with 2:46 left in third quarter--Score: 28-3 Scouts
Uihlein's third touchdown came in the fourth quarter on a two-yard run with 6:20 left in the game. Score: 35-3 Scouts
Max Gagne scored Kaneland's only touchdown on a 69-yard pass from Cameron Phillips. Score 35-10
The Scouts will host Deerfield for the quarterfinal playoffs next Saturday (11/16) at 1:00 pm at West Campus Varsity Field.

Lake Forest 21 - Belvidere North 14
Varsity Football continued their come-from-behind victories when they upended the Blue Thunder in the second half of the first-round playoff game vs Belvidere North on a muddy/snowy field. It was Win No. 100 for Coach Chuck Spagnoli.
The Blue Thunder started out quickly going 82 yards and scoring on a one-yard run with 4:40 left in the first quarter and added another touchdown on a 10-yard run by Holden Parker for a 14-0 lead.
The Scouts drive stalled but Kai Kroeger's punt pinned Belvidere down on their own five-yard line with 8:30 left in the half. Both teams went three and out in the following drives with the Scouts making adjustments to Belvidere's option play and holding them scoreless for the rest of the half.
The Scouts were limited to four possessions in the first half for 26 yards--all on the ground.
In the third quarter, The Scouts got on the scoreboard after five plays when Max Uihlein scored on a two-yard run with 2:11 left in third quarter. Colin Sloan's kick was good and the Scouts cut the lead to 14-7.
In the fourth quarter, the Scouts tied the game 14-14 on a five-yard run by Jahari Scott and the kick by Colin Sloan with 6:52 on the clock---plenty of time to do more damage---and the Scouts did just that!
With the game tied at 14 with 3:13 left on the clock, Richie Hoskins connected with Connor Milliman on a 57-yard pass play and Sloan added the PAT to secure the 21-14 lead. Jake Milliman deflected a fourth-down play by Belvidere North with less than 90 seconds remaining.
Scouts will play Kaneland for the Second Round of the IHSA playoffs on Friday, November 8, 7:30PM at LFHS West Campus Varsity Field.
