Not too long ago, there was talk of Lakeview Academy pulling out of the Lanierland tournament. Especially for the girls, who needed more than a decade in the event to get a first round win.
North Hall joined Chestatee and Lakeview Academy into the semifinals with a big 65-51 win over East Hall on Wednesday in the first round of the 64th annual Lanierland tournament.
The Lakeview Academy girls bid for their first first-ever state championship game came to an end against No. 1 seed Deerfield-Windsor on Wednesday night in a 67-59 loss in the GIAA Class 3A semifinals at West Georgia University.
