SPORTS: 3A North softball all-stars named

The future must look bright for Winslow High School softball coach Becky Barris as she looks at the 3A North Region All Star Team lists. Winslow had the Offensive Player of the Year, five All Star Team members and two Honorable Mention players selected for regional honors and all are either freshmen or sophomores. Barris herself was named the 3A North Region Coach of the Year.

Sophomore Jennifer Yazzie, one of the best pitchers in the region, was selected as the 3A North Region Offensive Player of the Year. The selection was not a surprise as she is also one of the most talented sluggers in the region.

Freshmen Alex Lomeli, Mireya Ulibarri and Gabriele Stacey and sophomores Felicia Nagle and Bernice Gover were selected to the All Star Team. Sophomore Kyli Parsons and freshman Melissa Jacobs received Honorable Mention.

The other individual honor went to junior Nicole Yellow of Tuba City as she was named the 3A North Region Defensive Player of the Year.

Other members of the 3A North Region All Star Team were junior Shelby Burbank, senior Trinary Parker and sophomore Elisse Tapaha of Window Rock, senior Tierra Maho and junior LaShanda Benally of Tuba City, senior Natasha Beall of Chinle, senior Raenelle Nez of Monument Valley and senior Jessica Benally of Ganado.
