Tae Turner is glad he followed through with his decision to play football for Lakeview Academy, even though it wasn’t his first sport or an automatic decision when he enrolled last year from Chattahoochee High. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound junior running back was told the opportunity to make a splash for the Lions football program was on the table, after pursuing his main passion of basketball with the Lions when he moved back to his hometown of Gainesville from the Class AAAAAA school in North Fulton. On Friday, Turner rushed for five touchdowns and 240 yards, guiding the Lions (1-3, 1-1 Region 8-A) to a 38-3 win against Providence Christian, their first region victory in school history.
