Navajo Times winter sports All-Stars

Posted by Quentin Jodie | Mar 28, 2019 | Sports |

WINDOW ROCK

As I have previously stated the selection process for the Navajo Times All-Stars is quite taxing and cumbersome.

With dozens of nominations to go through, the vetting process becomes excruciating.

And with the number of teams and individual wrestlers making a deep run in their respective brackets this past winter season, the selection process became that more difficult.

Nonetheless, with the help of my colleague Sunnie R. Clahchischiligi, we present this year’s class of All-Stars.

As always, we will honor these individuals in a ceremony on Monday, April 8, at the Phil Thomas Performing Arts Center on the campus of Shiprock High School.

The doors will open an 9 a.m. for this free event and we encourage all of the All-Stars to bring their uniform top for a photo session.

With it being one of our largest All-Stars class, it’s important that we start as early as we can with the photo shoot.
