The Bottom Line: A three-point field goal by Zion’s Malik Yarbrough with two seconds remaining was the game winner. With the contest tied late, Downey made a pair of free throws to give Lake Forest a 56-54 edge heading into the game’s final possession before Yarbrough gave his team the victory. After trailing by six points at halftime, the Scouts outpointed the Zee-Bees in the third period, 21-16, to climb back in the game. Lake Forest is now 13-5 for the season and 4-4 in the North Suburban Conference Lakes Division.
