IHSA Reveals Football Schedule: See Who Lake Forest Faces In Fall
The Scouts are set to begin the 2020 season on the road with an Aug. 28 showdown in Barrington.
LAKE FOREST, IL — As school and public health officials continue to refine coronavirus safety guidelines for youth sports, the Illinois High School Association announced this year's varsity football schedule for teams across the state.
Lake Forest High School is set to begin its season with an away game at Barrington on Aug. 28. Led by coach Chuck Spagnoli, the Scouts finished the last season with a 7-5 record, reaching the quarterfinals of the Class 6A playoff tournament, where they were defeated by North Shore neighbors Deerfield High School.
Things are expected to look different under Friday night lights this fall, as the Illinois Department of Public Health aims to gradually lift restrictions on contact in time for high school sports at the start of the 2020-21 school year. But it's up to local school districts to determine how to implement the new safety guidelines.
