Like its season, Lakeview Academy started out slow on Friday night against Riverside Military Academy but finished strong in all three phases to win 24-14. The Lions closed the season with back-to-back victories on their home turf of Jock Hornor Field in Gainesville. In a first-time meeting of two Region 8-A programs, the Lions (3-7, 3-6 Region 8-A) dominated the game clock for the majority of the first half, and capitalized on Eagle misfortunes to stay ahead.
