The Lady Lobos are off to an impressive 3-0 start to their new volleyball season. Their three wins came over Tuba City on Wednesday, Thatcher on Thursday and Gilbert Christian on Saturday. They swept the Warriors and the Eagles but did drop just one game to the Knights.
Wednesday’s home match with Tuba saw the Lobos dominate in three games 25-13, 25-9 and 25-19. Braxton Jones led in kills with 13. Chelsea Caskey added 8 and Gracie Lundberg had 5. Jones also led the team in aces with 7. Caskie served 5 aces. Mikelle Abbott led in digs with 7, and Lundberg led the way in assists with 12 and Jones added 11 assists.
Thursday’s 3-0 win over Thatcher was a rematch of last year’s 3A state semifinal round which also went to Snowflake who went on to win the 3A state title last year.
Saturday’s win over Gilbert Christian was a rematch of last year’s state quarterfinal round which the Lobos prevailed 3-0.
Snowflake is certainly off to a hot start to open the season against some of the state’s top teams. This week they will host Blue Ridge on Tuesday, then travel to Round Valley on Wednesday. Next Tuesday they will play at Valley Christian High School.
