LaFlamme, O'Brien out front in Lambert-South Forsyth football rivlary

The critical strategic components of tonight’s game between Lambert and South Forsyth come with the most tenuous of caveats. “If we stop LaFlamme …” “[O’Brien is] going to be a super challenge for our defense…” “Controlling LaFlamme is one thing…” “Well, obviously, stop Trevor…” In the county’s biggest rivalry and a game with playoff ramifications, the outcome seems fittingly in the hands of two star running backs. For South senior Tyler LaFlamme, it’s been a season of fulfillment, four years waiting for the chance to handle the workload at running back and see what he could do, and he has flourished.
