The Bottom Line:      Lake Forest never trailed in the game but never led by more than nine points as they continually came up with the plays to stay ahead of the Warriors. Taking a 43-35 lead into the fourth quarter, the Scouts got what the needed each time Deerfield got within a possession. Key free throws by Boudreaux, Ben Simpson and George Quall in the last minute erased each Warrior Threat. Lake Forest is now 15-6 for the season.
