It wasn’t a playoff game this time around, but it sure felt like one. Lambert scored 23 unanswered points in the second half on Friday night to defeat Collins Hill 26-16 at The Horn, and in the process it erased the memory of last season’s early playoff exit and the perception that they couldn’t compete with the teams from Gwinnett County. Lambert fell at Collins Hill 35-13 in the opening round of the postseason eight months ago, and the Longhorns hadn’t defeated a team from Gwinnett in five previous tries since opening play in 2009—including last week’s opening loss at Mountain View.
