ALPHARETTA -- Lambert was 24 minutes of football away from its first region title, but by the time the second half ended the team felt very far from it. Milton trailed 17-0 at halftime, but used stifling defense and a jilted running attack to storm back and beat the Longhorns 20-17 Friday night. The Eagles (4-5, 2-2 Region 5-7A), playing for their playoff lives, out-gained Lambert (5-4, 3-1) 264-54 in the second half, exposing the deficiencies of the Longhorns' offense that were apparent last week.
