Both Lobo teams have advanced to Prescott for the Elite 8 of the 3A State Championships. The boys team received a first-round bye as the No. 7 overall seed. Hosting No. 23 Monument Valley on Saturday night the Lobos hung on down the stretch to prevail 47-45 and advance to Prescott where they played second-ranked Gilbert Christian on Tuesday afternoon.
The Lady Lobos also received a first-round bye as the No. 5 seed in the girls 3A bracket. They hosted No. 12 Blue Ridge on Friday night and easily prevailed over their fellow east region foe by a final of 49-22. Snowflake will have faced Chinle on Monday afternoon in the Elite 8 round in Prescott. The Wildcats defeated the Lobos near the end of the season, but this time the winner advances to the final four next weekend.
