Holbrook’s boys soccer team fell to 1-7-1 following two losses in matches played last week. Playing in St. Johns on Tuesday night, they fell 1-7 to the 16th-ranked Redskins. The following night things didn’t get any easier with a 10-0 shutout loss on the road in Snowflake where they faced the sixth-ranked Lobos.
Holbrook will have this week off from action to prepare for their next match which falls on Oct. 16, at Winslow. Holbrook is out of the playoff picture for this season. They enter this week ranked 21st overall. With only two matches remaining on their schedule, they won’t be able to climb into the top eight to qualify for post-season play. Holbrook’s final match of the season will be on Oct. 24, when they host Show Low on senior night at Roadrunner Stadium.
The Lady Roadrunners dropped one regular season match on Wednesday and all three tournament matches they played at the Chino Valley tournament over the weekend.

Later in the afternoon, they fell to the host school by the same 8-0 score. Holbrook’s only match on Saturday was a tilt with newcomer Winslow. The Lady Bulldogs picked up their first win of the season and first win as a program, with a 5-0 win over Holbrook in the final match of the tournament for both teams.
The Lady Birds have three games on the docket this week. They started with a trip to St. Johns on Monday night.
