The Lobos went 1-2 in three pool play games at the Wolves Classic held in Goodyear over the weekend. They fell to Trevor Brown, 11-2, and Combs, 9-4. Their lone pool win was a 13-5 victory over Holbrook.
Snowflake entered this week ranked eighth in power points with a 7-4 regular season record. The Lobos also entered the week tied with Holbrook for second place in the East region.
