This is one to debate for awhile ... especially if Lake Forest loses one more game this fall and thereby is not eligible for the IHSA football playoffs.
In last Friday's 43-42 overtime loss to unbeaten Warren, the Blue Devils won the game when, after scoring a TD in OT to pull within 42-41, decided to run for a no-guarantee-of-success two-point conversion that they made rather than opt for the virtually automatic one-point kick that would have tied the game and forced another OT.
Earlier, Lake Forest was in the exact same situation. After scoring a TD with 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter to pull within 35-34, the Scouts went for and made the one-point kick to tie the game and send the game into OT rather than attempt a no-guarantee-of-success two-point conversion that would have resulted in a 36-35 win or 35-34 loss.
Which coach was right? Warren's Dave Mohapp or Lake Forest's Chuck Spagnoli?
And remember: Warren pretty much could not stop Lake Forest's passing game and Lake Forest pretty much could not stop Warren's running game.
