These teams met in the 2019 state finals and Walton scored a thrilling 8-7 overtime victory to win its second state title. Lambert beat Walton 7-5 in 2020 before the season was cut short and also scored a 9-8 victory over the Raiders last season. This will be their first-meeting this year and Lambert will have an opportunity to win its sixth all-time state crown. Walton has poured on a 63-32 scoring advantage through the first four rounds of the playoffs, while Lambert’s defensive prowess has produced a 56-10 goals advantage. Lovett is the only team this season to score double-digit goals against the Longhorns (11-10) and Lambert will be facing a Walton team that has generated 14.9 goals per game this year. The Raiders’ high-powered attack allowed them to jump out to a 10-2 halftime lead in its 18-13 semifinal win over North Paulding. Conversely, Lambert led Buford 5-1 at the half and 8-3 after the third quarter before clinching its 8-6 win.
