Snowflake had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They snuck past the Monument Valley Mustangs with a 55-51 victory on Friday. Given the Lobos' advantage in MaxPreps' Arizona basketball rankings (they are ranked 17th, while the Mustangs are ranked 61st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Monument Valley lost despite a true team effort on offense. The best among them was Keiryn Mann, who posted 12 points. Kanon Dalton was another key player, putting up ten points.
Snowflake is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 27-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 54.1 points over those games. Monument Valley has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 14-14 record this season.
Snowflake didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next match, a 60-44 win against Ganado on the 28th. Monument Valley does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
