ALBANY — After winning back-to-back 2A DII state titles, the Albany Lions enter this season on a 27-game winning streak and ranked No. 2 in the state by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Magazine. 

Statewide, the expectations are for the Lions to make a deep playoff run and possibly get to Arlington for a third straight year. 

But will the numbers — and the loss of all-state running back Adam Hill — allow them to get there?
