Snowflake’s boys team competed in the Epic Tourney New Years Classic held in Chandler on Jan. 2 and 3.
The Lobos first opponent was Tolleson High School on Friday afternoon. The Wolverines edged Snowflake 54-53 in a back-and-forth contest.
Following that game Snowflake faced San Carlos in bracket play. The Lobos prevailed 64-52 over the Braves, and advanced to the bracket semi-final round where they were soundly beaten by a very good Scottsdale Christian Team, 61-22.
With that loss the Lobos dropped down into the third and fourth place game against a common foe Winslow. The Bulldogs were beaten by Florence in their semi-final game 83-81.
Snowflake started their tournament with a 1-point loss but ended their tournament with a 1-point win over the Bulldogs 66-65 claiming third place in their bracket.
This week Snowflake will return to regular season action with a trip to Alchesay on Tuesday, followed by a home game with Safford on Thursday. Friday night they will be in Holbrook.
The Lobos are 8-7 overall and 3-2 in regular season games.
The Lady Lobos did not play over the holiday break and will return to action this week with the same schedule as the boys’ team.
