Snowflake High School’s boys’ soccer team is off to a solid start. After having their first match postponed due to weather, the team saw their first action at the boys Longhorn Invitational hosted by Payson over the weekend of August 21st and 22nd.
They split their two games on Friday, suffering a 1-8 loss to Grand Canyon early in the morning, then bouncing back with a big 13-0 win over Williams in the afternoon. Saturday, they won both matches, defeating Chaparral, Nev., 2-0, then took care of Ash Fork 5-0.

Tuesday, the team will have its home season opener when they welcome Pima on Tuesday evening for a 6 p.m. start time at Lobo Field. Snowflake is 3-1-1 early in the season.
