Scouting Palatine at Lake Forest

Palatine (7-3) at Lake Forest (3-6)

When: 7:30 p.m. today

Last year's opener: Palatine d. Lake Forest 38-31

Outlook: Palatine and Lake Forest have always seemed to produce wild openers such as last year when Notre Dame freshman Tommy Rees (2,600 yards, 23 TDs) threw 5 INTs. The Scouts return LB and leading tackler Max Keefe (93 tackles, 8 for losses). "They always seem to have some pro football players son," said Palatine coach Tyler Donnelly. "They were big and they were physical."
