Lakeview Academy boys basketball coach Seth Vining knows there will only be one way to avoid a massive headache at next season’s end in regards to the playoffs: Win the Region 8-A title outright. That’s easier said than done in a region with some premier programs, such as state finals runner-up Athens Christian, along with the addition of Providence Christian to the predominantly private school league. “There’s a lot of good programs in this region,” said Vining, who has led Lakeview to the playoffs in seven of his eight seasons.
