This year, however, the teams appear to be relatively evenly matched. The edge has to still go to a Window Rock program that won 26 games last season. Here is a preview of what is to come.
Projected Top 3 Teams:
Window Rock – Coming off of a 26-10 season, Tyrese Brown and Koby Emerson return to lead this team on a quest for repeat success.
Monument Valley – After a decent 12-13 year, the Mustangs will look to Royce Charley and Cauy Nelson to take the next step and make 2016-2017 a winning season.
Page – After suffering an array of close losses last season, including two to a Tuba City team that graduated over half of their roster, they will try to rebound and finish games better this season.
Newcomer of the Year:
Nachae Nez transferred to Chinle, who finished 4-17 last year from a program in Farmington, NM called Navajo Prep, who went 21-8. Nez will fulfill Point Guard duties for a team that has nowhere to go but up.
The 3A North region should be tightly contested every night, and the difference between first and last place may just be 3-4 games, making each night highly important.
