Lake Forest 22 - Prairie Ridge 21
With the score 15-21 in the fourth quarter in favor of Prairie Ridge, Prairie Ridge had the ball in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter and was in the midst of a drive from their own 11-yard line to inside the Scouts' 10-yard line when the unthinkable happened: Ball carrier Zach Bentsen got turned around and Scouts' Andrew Lyon was able to put his helmet on the ball.  The ball popped into the air, and Scouts' Mick Graham was able to grab the ball with 4:04 left in the game.

The Lake Forest offense went on a 92-yard drive in 11 plays when quarterback Leo Scheidler hit Jake Milliman, who made sure he had two feet down inside the back of the end zone to tie the game up with 14 seconds remaining in the game.  It was up to Kai Popov to add the extra point for the 22-21 Scout victory and a trip to play in the 6A semifinals vs top-seeded Cary Grove at Cary Grove at 1:00pm on Saturday, November 20 .  Another great team effort!!!  
 

The last time Lake Forest made it to the semifinals was in 2012 when they lost to Cary Grove 42-21. 
Let's turn that score around in 2021!! 
LET'S GO SCOUTS!!

Lake Forest 13 - Harlem 8
Defense was the name of the game in this matchup with a total of 3 touchdowns in the contest.

Jahari Scott was the first player to score with a 66-yard run with 1:24 left in the second quarter. PAT was good to give the Scouts a 7-0 lead at half-time.

Harlem's only score came in the third quarter on a touchdown and two-point conversion to give Harlem a one-point lead at
8-7.  A 65-yard run for a touchdown by Leo Scheidler gave the Scouts the lead again but the two-point conversion failed. 
Neither team scored after that as the defense on both sides was solid.

• Leo Scheidler completed five of seven passes for 31 yards and had 164 yards rushing and one touchdown
