Kick off was scheduled for 4 p.m., but Lake Forest was ready for football well before that time Saturday. The main parking lost east of Varsity Field was completely full by 2:30 p.m, the home stands filled with fans not soon after. One driver pulling into the lot asked a security guard, "is there a football game going on?" His response was dripping with sarcasm, "that's what I hear." With the exception of that driver, there didn't appear to be a single person in Lake Forest not aware the Scouts were playing a football game Saturday.

We all believe in second chances. After all, it's an American pastime. Just ask Jimmy Stewart. In a game George Bailey himself would have loved to watch, Lake Forest's football team showed life can be wonderful when presented with opportunities to redeem itself. Friday's 23-21 victory over a more-talented Lakes team was proof the Scouts are playing the 2012 season with a unified purpose propelling them into a position rarely reached in the history of the school. "The thing we talk to them all the time about is all the effort and hard work will pay off, it won’t be over until we determine its over," coach Chuck Spagnoli said. "Our kids have been an extremely resiliant, extremely competitive group." Which starts with the quarterback, …
