Packers must avoid a letdown against Lambert

MOULTRIE – Colquitt County Coach Sean Calhoun insists that Friday’s first-round state playoff meeting with visiting Lambert is not a trap game. But it sure has all the elements of one. A trap game is generally construed as one in which a perceived stronger team plays an inferior team, but could be at risk of being upset because it is distracted, coming off an emotional victory or is simply looking ahead to the following week’s game. The Packers are 7-3, shared the top spot in the Region 1-7A, are ranked No. 7 in the final Postseason Rankings and are coming off an emotional region win over previously undefeated Lowndes in the final 8.4 seconds that precipitated a celebratory bus trip around the Courthouse Square. “That was a massive win for us,” Calhoun said. And why does he not think his team is facing a trap game. “Because this is the playoffs,” he said. And there is so much more at stake and the level of competition is much higher.
