Thursday night was a 20-point home-court win over Payson. Both teams struggled to score in the first, which had the Longhorns leading 6-5 at the end of it. Snowflake found their stride in the second, outscoring the visitors by 13 in the quarter to lead by double digits at the half. They played more consistently in the second half with 15 in each of the third and fourth to win the game 52-32.
Hosting Blue Ridge on Friday night the Lobos took care of business with a 58-45 east region win.

Snowflake was ranked 11th entering the weekend. They are now 13-8 overall and 9-5 in regular-season contests. This week they will be on the road for both games. Wednesday night they travel to face ALA Anthem South and then Friday they will be at a packed house in Holbrook when they take on the Roadrunners.
Next week they close out the regular season with a home game with Show Low on Tuesday followed by a road trip to Blue Ridge on Wednesday.
