It's hard to make a name for oneself on a Class A program that has never made the playoffs or had a winning season against a full region schedule, but K.J. Millwood and Alec Bornhorst are doing the best they can at Lakeview Academy, a private school in Gainesville.
Millwood is the son of former Atlanta Braves pitcher Kevin Millwood. K.J. plays outfield and pitches on the baseball team, but he's better at football. He's a wide receiver and two-way starter, and he's leading Class A in receiving yards with 680. Millwood actually leads the state in receiving yards per game at 136.0 through Lakeview's 2-3 start. He has gone over 100 yards in every game.
Bornhorst has thrown for 1,171 yards, which also makes the GHSF Daily state leaderboard. He also had three 100-yard rushing games. He also plays quite a bit on defense.
As a junior, Millwood hasn't had much college interest yet. Bornhorst is being recruited by schools in the MAC and Ivy League, including Miami of Ohio, Yale and Harvard.
Both are three-sport athletes at Lakeview and played on Lakeview's state-semifinal basketball team last season and figure to play more prominent roles on that squad this season.
Lakeview Academy (2-3) faces its third ranked opponent this week, No. 2 Prince Avenue Christian. The team missed the state playoffs last season by a fraction of a point in the GHSA power ratings.
The leaderboard has one change at the top this week as Troup's Montez Crowe - by virtue of a 525-yard passing effort against Sandy Creek - leads the passing chart.
