After a 33-7 loss last Friday, Commerce only has three games left to secure a playoff spot.

This Friday, Commerce heads to Gainesville looking to pick up a second region win over the Lakeview Academy Lions. The game starts at 7:30 p.m. at Jock Hornor Field.

Lakeview is still in the infancy of its football program, 1-4 overall; 0-3 region. Stacked against a perennial powerhouse like Commerce, the numbers are in the Tigers’ favor. Commerce has amassed 122 points, averaging 17.4 per game, compared to Lakeview’s 58 points and 11.6 average. The Tigers have allowed 192 points in seven games while Lakeview has allowed 137 points in five games a 27.4-point average apiece.
