2023 Season Review​

Record: 2-8 overall, 0-3 district

Playoffs: Missed

Points Scored: 90

Points Given Up: 306

Streak into 2024: 5-game losing streak

The Thunderbirds struggled throughout the 2023 season, posting only two wins over Hopi, Arizona (18-14), and Shiprock (20-6) in consecutive weeks (Week 4 and Week 5) after a 0-3 start. However, these were the bright spots in an otherwise challenging season that ended with five straight losses. The Thunderbirds struggled in district play, going 0-3 and being outscored 121-20 by Navajo Prep, Newcomb, and Tohatchi.
