UNDEFEATED SHOWDOWN: Bradshaw Mountain Bears vs. Snowflake Lobos
Two undefeated teams. Two of the top programs in Arizona 4A football. And one huge Friday night matchup in Snowflake.
The 2-0 Bradshaw Mountain Bears make the trip to the White Mountains to take on the 2-0 Snowflake Lobos in what could be Snowflake’s toughest test of the season so far.
The Bears are big, physical, talented and have been impressive through their first two games. They come to Snowflake with plenty of confidence — and at least one Phoenix-area newspaper is predicting the upset, picking Bradshaw Mountain to knock off the Lobos on their home field.
And Snowflake will have to face the challenge without two major pieces of its offense.
Starting quarterback Jacob LaDuke remains sidelined with a knee injury, and the Lobos lost leading receiver Nash Reidhead to an injury suffered during practice earlier this week. Against a team as talented as Bradshaw Mountain, those losses make an already difficult matchup even tougher.
But there is plenty of reason for optimism in Snowflake.
Sophomore quarterback Maverick Greer stepped into the spotlight last week against ALA-West Foothills and delivered a lights-out performance, completing 12 of 15 passes for 133 yards and four touchdowns against a top-tier defense.
Now Greer and the Lobos return home — and home field in Snowflake is something special.
Friday night football in Snowflake features a game-day atmosphere that surpasses what you’ll find at many small colleges. A packed and passionate Lobo crowd creates one of the most electric high school football environments in Arizona, and that home-field advantage could play a major role tonight.
The Bears are undefeated. The Lobos are undefeated. Snowflake is short-handed. And the upset predictions are already coming in.
Can the Lobos prove the doubters wrong and defend their home field, or will Bradshaw Mountain make the trip back to Prescott Valley 3-0?

Snowflake Faces Tough Road Test at ALA–West Foothills
The Snowflake Lobos hit the road tonight for Waddell, Arizona, where they’ll face the ALA–West Foothills Guardians in what could be one of Snowflake’s toughest early-season tests.
Both teams enter the matchup 1–0 after convincing season-opening victories. Snowflake opened the season with a 37–7 win over Coconino, while ALA–West Foothills made a statement with a 43–0 shutout of Westview.
The Lobos dominated this matchup a year ago, defeating the Guardians 30–10 in Snowflake. But ALA–West Foothills entered that game under difficult circumstances after losing its starting quarterback and head coach just weeks before the season began. The Guardians recovered and went on to make a run into the 4A state playoffs.
This time, it’s Snowflake dealing with adversity.
Starting quarterback Jacob LaDuke suffered a knee injury in last week’s win over Coconino and will not be available tonight. That leaves the Lobos facing a major challenge on the road against a Guardians team that is big, physical and athletic.
Snowflake has built its reputation on physical football, strong defense and finding ways to win tough games. Tonight should provide an early indication of how the Lobos respond when tested away from home and without their starting quarterback.
Two undefeated teams. Two physical football programs. One big early-season test.

Coconino Panthers Travel to Snowflake for 2026 Football Season Opener
High school football is back in the White Mountains!
The Coconino Panthers travel to Snowflake Friday night to take on the Lobos as both teams kick off the 2026 Arizona high school football season.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM at Snowflake High School, with the game broadcast live on iTalk 106.7 FM, iTalk1067.com and iTalk Sports.
A Rematch of Last Year’s Season Opener
These two teams also opened the season against each other a year ago, and the Lobos came away with a hard-fought 28–23 victory over Coconino in Flagstaff.
Snowflake running back Brenner Green led the way, carrying the ball 21 times for 164 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Jacob LaDuke completed 8 of 11 passes for 136 yards, while Christian Smith caught three passes for 90 yards.
That victory helped launch what became another strong season for the Lobos.
Snowflake eventually advanced deep into the 4A State Playoffs, defeating Eastmark 35–0 before its season came to an end against Mica Mountain in the state quarterfinals.
Coconino also reached the postseason and picked up playoff victories over Mesquite and Bradshaw Mountain before its run came to an end.
Now both programs start over at 0–0, and this time the Panthers have to make the trip to Snowflake.
