The Bottom Line: Lake Forest was on a mission after being forced to forfeit last week’s game against Lake Zurich due to the teacher’s strike. They poured it on early and often against the hapless Zee-Bees. The decisive victory won’t make up for the Lake Zurich loss, but it was a memorable homecoming at Varsity Field.
