Just call him Matty Ice. With Lambert’s boys trailing by one point and under 15 seconds remaining, Jake Morris drove the lane, drew a double-team and passed the ball out to an open Matt Melms, who calmly drained a 3-pointer from the left wing with 12.8 seconds remaining. Centennial had two chances near the basket to send the game to overtime but neither shot went in, as Lambert earned a 52-50 victory over the Knights on Tuesday at The Horn.
