2025 Lobo Football Schedule Released
New Head Coach at the Helm
The Snowflake Lobo football squad is entering their 4th season in the 4A Conference and look to improve on their deep playoff run from last year. The Lobos had a perfect regular season before their first defeat in the semifinal round of the state championship tournament last season.
The Lobos will have a new coach. Coach Kay Solomon retired after 10 seasons as the head coach. He is the winningest coach in Lobo history with 99 total wins. Offensive Coordinator Trevor Reddick was hired as the new head coach.
After the Arizona Interscholastic Association’s biennial football realignment, the AIA has placed the Lobos in the 4A Desert Sky region where they will face familiar teams and some new region opponents. Eastmark and Poston Butte will remain region rivals. The Lobos are will also meet Arcadia, Mesquite and Combs.
In addition to their regional games, the Lobos will play Marcos de Niza, Coconino, ALA West Foothills, Bradshaw Mountain, and Catalina Foothills according to the Southern Arizona Football’s X Page.
Game 1. The Lobos travel to Flagstaff to play Coconino on August 29. This is the first time since 1996 that the Lobos and Panthers will play. The teams were scheduled to play in 2021 before the game was canceled by Coconino. The all-time record is 11-12 in favor of Coconino.
Game 2. The Lobos will host ALA West Foothills on September 5. This will be the first meeting between the two programs. This is ALA’s first year in 4A after successfully petitioning to move up conferences. The Guardians made it to the 3A championship game last year before falling to Pusch Ridge. ALA West Foothills is located in Waddell.
Game 3. Snowflake will again travel to Prescott Valley when they play Bradshaw Mountain on September 12. This is the 4th year in a row that the two squads meet. The Lobos have the edge in the all-time record with 4 wins and 2 losses.
Game 4. The Lobos will then host Catalina Foothills High School on September 19. Catalina Foothills is located just north of Tucson. Opened, in 1992, this will be the first matchup between the two programs.
Game 5. Although no longer in the same region, the Lobos will travel to Tempe and play at Marcos de Niza on September 26. Snowflake is 2-0 against the Padres.
Game 6. Snowflake will again travel to the Valley on October 3 to play Poston Butte High School. The Broncos are located in San Tan Valley. Snowflake is 3-0 against Poston Butte all-time.
Game 7. The Lobos host Combs Coyotes on October 10. Snowflake played Combs once before in 2014 where the Lobos were victorious. Combs High School is located in San Tan Valley and opened in 2009.
Game 8. The Lobos play at Eastmark on October 17. The Lobos are 1-1 all-time against Eastmark.
Game 9. Snowflake plays at home on October 24 against Mesquite High School. This will be the first matchup for these two schools. Mesquite is located in Gilbert. The Wildcats won the 4A championship in 2019 and 2020 before being elevated to 5A and then returning to 4A.
Game 10. Snowflake will finish the season hosting Arcadia. The Lobos are 2-1 against the Titans. They split games in 1959 and 1960 and then the Lobos beat them in the playoffs in 2022. Part of the Scottsdale Unified School District, Arcadia is located in East Phoenix off of Indian School Road and 48th Street.
The Lobos will not play any traditional 3A East rivals this year. Also, the Lobos will not play any 5A teams this year. All their opponents are in 4A. The 4A season appears to wrap up the regular season a week earlier this year with no bye week scheduled. 4A voted to not participate in the Open tournament last year which is true for this year too.
