Friday night, a number of area football teams did more than just grab another win, they took a step forward as a program. Lakeview Academy (6-2) put an exclamation point on its best season in program history with a 34-0 win over Towns County to finish the Lions’ first-ever winning season. The wins record may not last too long if the team continues on this trajectory though, as Lakeview Academy coach Matthew Gruhn said he would like to get back to a region schedule — and a full 10-game season — after next season if the number of players in the program remains high.
