When he first glanced at the Class A Private state playoff bracket, Lakeview Academy boys basketball coach Todd Cottrell was a bit concerned. If the top seeds were to win, the Lions would have a quarterfinal contest against Region 8-A rival Athens Christian, which they had already played twice this season. Lakeview Academy won both times but barely scraped by in the most recent one with a two-point win in the region tournament championship Feb. 11.
