Basketball: Melms' buzzer-beater lifts Lambert past Meadowcreek in first round
L ADeckard 1 021917 web
It seemed like the Lambert boys basketball team had finally discovered its foil matched up against Meadowcreek at home on Friday night in the first round of the Class 7A state tournament, but Andrew Melms hit a spinning, falling jump shot as the clock expired to give Lambert a 72-70 win. Coming off of its first region loss of the season, it seemed things were finally starting to go poorly for the four-loss Longhorns. It was the first time in two seasons Lambert lost a region game, and it was the first time since December that Lambert had to play a game following a loss.
