Snowflake dropped their lone regular season contest last week with a four-point loss at Safford on Tuesday. The long bus ride didn’t have much of an affect on the Lobos early as they jumped out to a 22-14 lead at the end of the first period.

After the Lobos added one point to that lead through three periods, they were outscored by eight points over the final eight minutes to lose the game 77-73. Safford made the most of their 32 trips to the free throw line, where they picked up 19 of their points in the win.

Over the weekend Snowflake played three games at the Flagstaff Holiday Tournament. Close games were the norm for the team with them falling to Sunrise Mountain of Nevada by two points, 63-35, on Thursday evening. Friday morning they faced Mingus Union and again came out on the wrong end of a close game with a 50-51 loss to the Marauders. Early Saturday morning they met up with a familiar foe when they picked up a 54-45 win over Payson.
