Lobo Soccer to Play for State Championship
Lobo Soccer to Play for State Championship
Program Looking for First State Title
The Snowflake Lobos boy soccer team will play in their first ever State Championship game on Saturday October 28 when they face off against Chino Valley at Westwood High School in Mesa.
The squad arrived at this point after they secured only their second ever regional championship earlier this year. The program’s first regional championship came in 2021. This year, the Lobos were perfect in region play going 6-0.
They entered the state tournament as the 3rd overall seed. In the quarterfinals, they hosted rival Blue Ridge Tuesday night, coming out victorious 3 to 1. The Lobos started slow, trailing at half 0-1. The second half, however, they found their groove and poured on 3 goals to advance to the semi-finals.
The semi match was hosted by Sedona High School Thursday evening. The Lobos came out strong and did not let off until the final whistle. The team was up 2-0 at half and finished the game winning 4-1. The team responded well after losing to Sedona during a regular season bout in August.
The championship game will be against number one ranked Chino Valley. This will be the 3rd matchup between Chino Valley and Snowflake this season. The teams split the previous games. The Lobos won 2-1 on August 22 and Chino won 3-1 during an invitational game hosted by Chino on September 23.
The game is at 6:15pm at Westwood High School on October 28. The game can be streamed on the NFHS Network. A community sendoff will take place Saturday morning at 9:45 am in front of the High School.
Good Luck, Lobos!
