BASKETBALL OR NOTHING on NET-FLIX. The 6-part series follows a Navajo Indian high school basketball team who have a chance at the state championships.
Episode 6: Modern-day Warriors.
The Chinle "Wildcats" basketball team made it to the "Final Four" during the state championships. It was a fantastic ride and the team floated on the support of their community. Coach Raul Mendoza told them to have fun, but to want that "title" more than anything. The team went as far as they could and lost in a tough defeat....
Life has to move on and it does in a positive way for the senior basketball players. Three of them received scholarships to colleges and one nabbed the "President Obama" scholarship that paid for his complete college education. All of them had dreamed of a better life outside of the Indian Reservation. Those scholarships gave them so much more than what they had hoped for. That in itself makes them modern-day warriors on the Reservation. They worked hard and dreamed big. Good for them....
