Lakes high school football

Senior running back Martin Cohen finished with a career-high five touchdowns in a 41-6 victory against Lakes to improve to 3-1 overall and 2-0 in the Northern Lake County Conference.

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.
