Lambert's 2018 seniors have led the Longhorns to No. 1 in 6A-7A boys lacrosse.

BOYS

In the boys' Class 6A-7A , No. 1 Lambert added a pair of 14-3 victories to out-of-state opponents and improved to 7-0, while No. 2 Centennial racked up two out-of-state victories and a 26-2 win over Brookwood to reach 7-0 this week. These two schools will face off at Lambert this Friday in a battle of No. 1 vs. No. 2. There is a new No. 3 in North Gwinnett. The Bulldogs scored a 13-5 win over previously unbeaten Grayson and jumped Lassiter for the third spot. Lassiter is now No. 5 and Walton (the first team to reach 9-0) jumped to No. 4. Johns Creek also made a significant leap in the poll, scoring a 17-9 win over Pope and improving to No. 6. Roswell enters the rankings at No. 9 after scoring a 9-8 triple overtime victory over No. 10 Cambridge.
