Season Opener at Concordia Chicago Postponed by Lightning

Box Score

The Forester football team was leading  host Concordia University Chicago 28-26 with 7:20 remaining in the second quarter when the game was postponed due to lightning. The game will remain classified as postponed, leaving open the possibility of resuming the contest at a later date. If the game is resumed, the statistics recorded on Saturday would count and junior tailback Al Mitchell's 80-yard touchdown run on Lake Forest's opening play would be the team's longest play from scrimmage since the 2000 season.

While nearly 11 years passed between an 82-yard run by Andy Heikes and Mitchell's score, it took only 13 minutes for the Foresters to strike from that far again. Senior wide receiver Kevin Davis took a pass from junior Pete Scaffidi and out-ran the defense to the end zone for another 80-yard touchdown that put the visitors ahead 21-13 early in the second quarter.

Scaffidi also tossed a 19-yard touchdown pass to junior wideout Rocky Al-Mutawa and a 17-yard scoring strike to junior Austin Sobey. Scaffidi was 3-for-6 for 116 yards and the three touchdowns when play was suspended. Mitchell had carried the ball four times for a career-high 116 yards.

Freshman wideout Joey Kropp also made his mark on the game with a 78-yard kickoff return that set up the score to Sobey, which put the Foresters on top 28-26 with 8:01 left in the second quarter.

Concordia Chicago had a second-and-10 on its own 41-yardline when play was stopped.
