The Lobos welcomed the 5-0 Bulldogs on Friday night, then dominated their unbeaten guests in every facet of the contest, winning their third straight game to improve to 5-1.
Snowflake got another great performance from both sides of the line of scrimmage. The defensive line held the Bulldogs in check for much of the night and the offensive line helped the Lobos amass nearly 500 yards of offense in the 38-0 win.
Chase Walden opened the scoring with 8:37 left in the first period on a seven-yard touchdown run. Early in the second period he connected with Doug Brimhall on a 22-yard catch and run to increase Snowflake’s margin. With four minutes left in the half Brit Smith scored on a five-yard run, giving the Lobos a 21-0 halftime lead.
Jake Shumway scored on the final play of the third period, hauling in a 37-yard scoring strike from Walden.
Walden then scored his second rushing touchdown with 7:17 left in the game on a five-yard run. Hunter Farr, who was good on all five of his point after kicks, scored the final points of the night with 1:17 remaining on a 31-yard field goal.
Walden had another fine night, completing 12 of 19 passing attempts for 234 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. On the ground the quarterback rushed 19 times, gaining 118 more yards with another pair of scores. Braccin Tanner rushed seven times for 56 yards. Smith gained 27 yards on eight runs and Shumway picked up 10 on one carry. Brimhall was Walden’s favorite receiver, catching four balls for 89 yards. Shumway had two catches for 48 yards and Smith had two for 40 yards.
Snowflake’s defense, which played well all night long, was led by Ty Reidhead and Tanner with six tackles each. Marcus Marshall made five stops.

With the victory the Lobos completed their three-game home stand with three quality wins. Now they will be on the road for the next three weeks. On Friday, Oct. 7, they will play at Page. Next week they travel to Eagar to face Round Valley, and the following week they will be at Mingus. Page should not be a problem, but both Round Valley and Mingus could give the Lobos some trouble.
