By AccessWDUN Staff

SUWANEE, Ga. - James Tyre had four touchdown passes for Lambert as the Longhorns took care of business on Homecoming against Dawson County Friday night, 49-6.

Tyre linked up with Brandon Jones on the first play from scrimmage for 80 yards, the first of three times the two seniors would find each other for six points. Lambert scord the first four touchdowns of the night, scoring two on the ground and two through the air in the first 16 minutes of the game.

Dawson got on the board with 5:32 left in the first half as Dom LeBlanc converted a 21-yard field goal after the Tiger drive stalled inside the five, but Tyre and Jones hooked up for 73 yards with under a minute to go to give the Longhorns a 35-3 lead at the break.

Lambert didn't let up in the third quarter as Tommy Lafayette scored on a 77-yard run early in the period before Tyre and Jones hit an 86-yard pitch-and-catch to wrap up the Longhorn scoring. LeBlanc hit a 34-yard field goal early in the fourth to bring the game to its final.

Tyre finished the night 8-for-13 for 315 yards through the air and four touchdowns for the Longhorns.

Dawson County will look to rebound next week on the road at North Hall.
