Lakes high school football

The one thing that was consistent in a wild one Friday in Vernon Hills – Lakes never trailed, defeating its hosts 31-20.

Shep Ratnow scored touchdowns on both of his catches, but his biggest play was a 65-yard interception return for a touchdown after Lakes had tied it as Vernon Hills went on to a 28-21 win.

The Bears are expected to sign Philadelphia Eagles linebacker T.J. Edwards to a three-year contract, according to multiple reports. Edwards grew up in Lake Villa and played quarterback at Lakes.
