ROSWELL — The Class 6A state championship game captured Lambert’s season in a nutshell.The Longhorns came roaring back toward the end, but ended up just a little bit short.After trailing No. 2-ranked Centennial boys by six goals late in the third period, No. 4 Lambert rallied to make it a one score game midway through the fourth quarter and had an opportunity to tie things up on two different possessions.Instead, the Knights regrouped and held on for a 15-12 victory on Saturday at The Fortress, denying Lambert a third consecutive state championship.“I’m incredibly proud of these guys,” Lambert director of lacrosse Rich Wehman said.“We overachieved this year, there’s no question about it.
