The rock band Aerosmith years ago wrote a song titled, "Don't Get Mad, Get Even." If you watched the Lake Forest Scouts demolish the Zion Zee-Bees 41-13 Friday night, you would say they followed that creed. But there was plenty of anger. They just took it out on an opponent they could clearly define. "We had a great game. We are stronger as a team," said senior quarterback Andrew Clifford, who threw for 166 yards on 15-of-21 passing.

Instead it’s the message on the shirt that counts: Relentless 142. Earlier: Season Preview: Lake Forest Football Gets Ready for 2012 Season The number stands for the hours of off-season training—weight lifting, conditioning—the Scouts were expected to put in to prepare for 2012. As for the “Relentless” part? Well that’s not hard to understand. “It’s on the back of the shirt,” said senior running back Scott Powell of the slogan. “There’s different phases to workouts, relentless effort, relentless commitment.
