Go Jaguars! Navajo high school in southern Utah with just 30 total students puts together basketball team
SAN JUAN COUNTY, Utah — Utah's most remote high school is on a portion of the Navajo Nation most accessible through Arizona.
"I do want to point out that Erek, our freshman point guard here, is really the jump in the driving force between making this team happen," assistant coach Tony Anderson said. "Some of us are actually new to basketball," said junior Paul Begay, who hadn't played the game before. Now he's the starting center.
"I started looking for games in November, and all the other schools already set out their schedule," she said.
