IOWA PARK — Albany didn’t need any last-minute heroics Thursday night at Hawk Stadium.  

A week after dodging Muenster, the top-ranked Lions manhandled No. 4 Collinsville from the beginning, scoring the first 31 points in a 52-14 victory.  

Adam Hill led the charge with 223 rushing yards and four touchdowns, but the Lions defense also made a statement by picking off quarterback Logan Jenkins three times and holding the Pirates 38 points below their season average.
