The Snowflake Lobos football team has been crowned champions of the Military/First Responder Appreciation Category as part of the ADDIX Great American Giveback. Teams from across the country competed for votes through social media outlets in response to videos posted of the team’s game entrance, halftime show and postgame event for the 9/11 game last year. The Lobos received 2,189 votes in the final round giving them the win. “Our 9/11 Tribute Game was started by our players and it has taken off to our student body and our community. It is the best game of the season,” stated Snowflake Lobos Assistant Coach Bryan Lang. The football team for the past four years has done a 9/11 night where military and first responders are admitted into the game for free. The entire team runs out on the field with American Flags and at halftime the student council does a tribute and has a giant rodeo flag that the students pull for this tribute. The school did not have funds in their budget for new jerseys for the team and with the win ADDIX, a custom team gear company, will supply the team with up to 50 new jerseys.
