Selecting the 2019 Navajo Times Fall Sports All-Stars was no easy task.
Every nomination that was turned in was worthy of consideration. Of course, the Navajo Times sports department had to whittle that list considerably.
And while that phase was excruciating, the Times is proud to announce this year’s all-stars for boys’ and girls’ cross-country, boys’ and girls’ soccer, football and volleyball.
We will recognize these individuals at our awards ceremony, which is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 9 at the Phil Thomas Performing Arts Center at Shiprock High School.
The doors will open at 9 a.m. for this free event and we will start the ceremony with a photo session for every sport. The selected all-stars are encouraged to bring their uniform tops.
The tentative schedule for Monday’s photo sessions is as follows: boys’ cross-country (9:45 a.m.), volleyball (10:10 a.m.), football (10:35 a.m.), girls’ cross-country (11:20 a.m.) and boys’ and girls’ soccer (11:45 p.m.)
Due to time constraints we will try to expedite the photo sessions so the schedule for Monday’s event will be updated at the all-star ceremony.
The list of all stars for the corresponding sports are as follows:
