Snowflake has won six straight games at home (dating back to last season), while Cactus has won six straight on the road also dating back to last season, but those streaks won't matter much on Friday. The Snowflake Lobos will welcome the Cactus Cobras at 7:00 p.m. The two teams are strolling into their matches after big wins in their previous games.
Last Friday, Snowflake got the win against Bradshaw Mountain by a conclusive 47-27. With the Lobos ahead 21-0 at the half, the game was all but over already.
Snowflake found their leader in underclassman Jacob LaDuke, who rushed for 83 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 104 yards and a touchdown on only nine passes. Another player making a difference was Karter Raban, who rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.
One reason for the win was Snowflake's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Wyatt Johnson was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up twohimself. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up two sacks and making two total tackles.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Snowflake was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 240 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 155 rushing yards in four consecutive contests dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Cactus really took it to Sunnyslope for the full four quarters, racking up a 52-14 win at home. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Cobras just coasted through the last quarter.
Antonio Casias had a dynamite game for Cactus, throwing for 266 yards and four touchdowns, while also punching in two touchdowns on the ground. Julian (JuJu) Stubblefield was Casias' top target, picking up 110 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Cactus wouldn't let Sunnyslope keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Cactus can thank Phoenix Huisinga and Daylen Moore for forcing both of them. Huisinga didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made six total tackles.
Snowflake couldn't quite finish off Cactus in their previous matchup back in September of 2023 and fell 20-17. Will Snowflake have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other football content.
