Christen Copeland picked a good season to focus on her free throws. As an unlikely hero for the situation, Copeland came through from the charity stripe in the closing seconds to secure a 41-34 win over Prince Avenue Christian for Lakeview Academy’s second-straight Region 8-A title on Saturday. Copeland made 6 of 8 free-throws down the home stretch, all the reason for Lakeview Academy girls coach John Carrick to approach his upperclassman on the bench as they awaited the final trophy presentation.
