By Sam Conner The Snowflake Lobos came from behind in the final period to edge the Winslow Bulldogs 66-57 in the sectional championship game last Saturday night at Chinle. The win improved Snowflake’s record to 27-3 going into the state tournament. Winslow’s record fell to a still excellent 23-7 as the Bulldogs prepare for state. Snowflake barely edged the Tuba City Warriors in the semifinals on Friday, 53-51. Winslow earned its berth in the finals by defeating the Window Rock Scouts 64-48 in the semis. In the championship game the Lobos took a 17-10 lead in the first quarter. Winslow came back with a very strong second quarter and held a 31-24 lead by the half. Snowflake came back in the third quarter, but Winslow still led 44-43 going into the final period. Kegan Bjorrn led all scorers with 22 points for Snowflake. Kurt Wood added 14 for the Lobos and Jordan Gardner scored 11. Nate Hollins led Winslow with 17 points. Nathan Hanley added 12; Dalvin Benally, 11; and Rory Billie, 9. In Friday’s semifinal game the Bulldogs defeated the Window Rock Scouts 64-46. The loss left the Scouts with a still excellent 15-9 record, and they will also likely be in the state tournament. The Bulldogs sped to a 14-4 lead in the first quarter and continued to build the margin in the second, leading 27-13 at the half. Winslow stayed in control with a 44-18 lead after three quarters of play and was never threatened in a surprisingly decisive victory over a good Window Rock team. Nathan Hanley led all scorers with 23 points for Winslow, while Shammond Goodman led Window Rock with 17.
