With just 878 students, Snowflake is an unusual 4A school. But now, the Lobos are playing for a 4A state championship.
Snowflake didn’t like the decision when it came down last spring. The AIA, in its pursuit of competitive balance, had moved the Lobos up to 4A. On the football field, the move made sense. Snowflake was the reigning back-to-back 3A champion.
This, Solomon knew, is what lay ahead for Snowflake as soon as the AIA’s decision came down. So with the help of athletic director Kevin Standerfer, he appealed to remain in 3A. A denial of that appeal, of course, wasn’t the desired outcome. But when it came down, Solomon responded with a search for the silver lining. That day, he met with his seniors and delivered a message: “You guys can be the first group from Snowflake to play for a championship in Sun Devil Stadium.
Snowflake, as a whole, has 14 passing touchdowns. There’s one development pipeline, and the kids who come through it are the kids who play on Friday nights.
