WE DIG Deeper HIT With a purpose SET High standards BLOCK Out the competition This mantra is posted on the outside of all the ladies lockers. While the ladies were not the winningest team this season they still accomplished these goals. The 6C district playoffs were last weekend and the ladies fell to Box Elder in a battle of four sets and then went on to face North Star and lost in three sets. The Chinook Sugarbeeters hosted and decisively won the tourney. The McDonald’s, principals at Box Elder, came over for dinner and the Cubs game on Frida...
The Pioneers headed to Augusta on Wednesday to take on the Augusta Elks. The Pioneers won 66-32 with four different Pioneers finding the end zone. Laurence and Weston Allderdice both rushed for three touchdowns. Ryan Roth scored on a 77 yard kick return late in the game. A sign of great things to come in the future. Elijah Wagoner also found the end zone on a 10 yard pass from Brock. Laurence again hauled in two passes from Brock for touchdowns. Big Sandy dominated the first quarter posting...
The Ladies hosted their parents and handed out flowers for parents night Tuesday against Centerville. Unfortunately the ladies were not able to bring home the win. Ending the season with a loss didn’t stop them from still enjoying the game. The score for the three sets were 18-25 16-25 7-25. The ladies will travel to Chinook on Thursday morning to play the first match in the District 6C East tournament. They will play Box Elder at 10 a.m.. They have both lost and won against Box Elder, so there is a good chance of advancing to the second r...
The volleyball season is coming to a close. By the time you read this the ladies last game will have been on Tuesday. The Ladies have had strong season of building this year. Many of the Ladies will be returning next season and the Pioneers will be a force to be reckoned with. Many thanks to Coach Cline for her hard work. The ladies had a good match with the North Star Knights. The stats are starting to show how well the team is starting to play together. Jasmine Genereux with 12 assists shows t...
The Pioneers came up against one of the top teams in the state on Friday. If not for the first quarter we could have had them. The Geraldine - Highwood Rivals came out rockin' and had three scores by the end of the first quarter. Any other team would have rolled over, but not our Pioneers. The boys came out in the second quarter and Laurence Allderdice punched one in the end zone. Then one minute later we got the ball back and Brock Proulx passed to Laurence Allderdice for the touchdown and a...
By Fred Watstein There were all the great components of an awesome football game Friday. Soggy field, chilli flowing, nip in the night air, fire truck sirens blaring all the makings of a great game. Only thing not great? The final score of 44-22 Valier Panthers the victors. The Big Sandy squad played a great game. Three things I noticed on Valier's team that makes them tough to beat. For starters they have a 6'6" receiver who is always open due to his height. They also have two of those running...
The Lady Pioneers visited the Highline twice last week. On Tuesday to take on the Chinook Sugarbeeters and on Thursday the CJI Hawks. Both trips they enjoyed the smooth ride of the new cruiser bus. According to coach Cline the ladies could have used a little more focus. "We are definitely capable of beating the Hawks, but we struggled with mental toughness and consistency." "We are a young team and are going to learn from our mistakes, and do our best to make corrections this week in practice...
The lady pioneers had a busy weekend hosting the Box Elder Bears on Friday night and going to the CJI mid-season tournament on Saturday. It was an exciting match-up on Friday against the bears. The girls battled four sets falling to the Bears. 23-25 25-15 17-25 15-25. The ladies were back up early Saturday and on the bus to CJI for a tournament to see where they stand going into playoff season. They placed second in their bracket and lost to the host CJI squad in a close match-up 25-21 25-15....
The men in Purple had more total offense and lead 20-6 at the half and hung on 28-26 at the end of the third quarter but the end result is not one of fairy tales. 41-47. One could rattle on about injuries or a young squad coming of age, but looking at the stats we should have won. The stats just didn't happen when we needed them to. Offense stats we got Weston Allderdice putting up 320 yards rushing and Jordan Schwarzbach adding a rushing touchdown making total offense 353 to Northstars 344 and...
The Lady Pioneers had a successful week of volleyball hanging tough with the North Star Knights and winning over the Hays/Lodge Pole Thunderbirds. The ladies are building momentum over the season. A win over Box Elder on Friday would help build confidence into the CJI tournament on Saturday where the Lady Pioneers could turn some heads. Big Sandy Team Stats versus North Star (Lost 3-0) 25-18, 25-12, 25-17 Assists (8) Jasmine Genereux 3 Kills (10) Jaylyn Cline 7 Blocks (13) Jaylyn Cline 7 Digs...
The bulk of the highlights belonged to Sunburst Friday as Lane Lerum threw four TD passes and Michael Buckley scored three times to lead the Sunburst Refiners over the Big Sandy Pioneers 47-0 at Sunburst during the Refiners homecoming. The Pioneers have now been tested and reminded what it is going to take to be competitive this season. An early flu has hit and Big Sandy's team stamina could have been affected. With the curse of being undefeated now eradicated the Pioneers can focus on putting...
The Heart Butte warriors and their league leading rusher Chasen Kipp came to Big Sandy Friday night. It was a beautiful end of summer day with a harvest moon rising over pioneer field. The Warriors came out in the first quarter giving the Pioneers a challenge and had some on the sidelines losing their cool. Weston Allderdice asserted his power on offense and defense and crushed their spirit out. By the end of the night Weston would have four rushing touchdowns and one interception touchdown....
The Lady Pioneers had a tough week in the gym with two powerhouse teams coming to town. The Chinook Sugarbeeters came down from the highline on Thursday and the ladies had a good match, but fell 25-17, 25-12, 25-23. Some decent scores considering the Sugarbeeters talent and schedule. Way to make em fight to the end ladies. Jenna Leader came up with 6 digs in the match and the team had 12 blocks with Jaylyn Cline posting 5 of them, showing that the girls are making every effort to win. Friday...

As the starting line-ups were read the seemingly endless line of 19 Box Elder Bears across the field from the Pioneers was intimidating, but the Pioneers and Coach Ronnie Simpson had one thing in mind Friday night. WIN. Win they did, and with a final score of 70-34 one may think it was an easy one, but that is not the case. The Pioneers did come out of the blocks tough and shut down the Bears on a fourth and one to set the tone of who would be leading the charge to victory. Then after a failed...
I got a chance to go watch the Lady Pioneers in action on Thursday vs. Chester-Joplin-Inverness. I was able to watch both the Junior High ladies and the varsity squad. I just want to mention Miss Blanton. Her running underhand serve would psych out Karch Kiraly on the beach any day. Then her courage to sing the national anthem to kick-off the varsity game and the way this lady carries herself on a daily basis should be a lesson to us all. It was a big weekend for Junior high sports this weekend...
Did ya see that whiteout blow through town Friday morning?? No, that was the Big Sandy Pioneers leaving in the new unlabeled white cruiser bus for their near Idaho trip to Noxon. Now, cause Robbie says so, let us get the score in the first three sentences 33-22 BIG SANDY THE VICTORS!!! Now, don't get too excited, it is early in the season, but things are looking up in Big Sandy. Laurence Allderdice got the ball rolling with a 55 yard TD run that Big Sandy topped with a pass to Darlington to set...
The Lady Pioneers have consistently been posting better stats with each contest. This weekend was no exception with the Ladies posting some wins and playing in the Championship bracket at the North Star Tournament. Big Sandy kicked off the tournament against Cascade making them earn every point 25-13 and 26-24. Then Big Sandy posted their first win of the weekend against Sunburst in a 50-39 overall tie-breaker. The overall winner of the Tourney, Roy-Winfried, defeated Big Sandy in the next...
The 2016 Big Sandy Pioneer football team finds themselves under the direction of first-year head coach Ronnie Simpson. Simpson played collegiate basketball for the MSU-Northern Lights for two seasons but is not unfamiliar to Pioneer athletics or to the game of six-man football. Simpson is most familiar to local sports aficionados roaming the sidelines on the basketball court. Over the past few seasons he has guided the Junior High boys basketball program and last year was at the helm of the high...
The Big Sandy Pioneer Volleyball enters the 2016 campaign under the direction of new Head Coach Shersteen Cline. Cline should be familiar to those folks within the community and who follow Pioneer athletics. A 2008 Big Sandy High School graduate Cline first attended the University of Montana before transferring to Montana Tech her sophomore year. Cline played volleyball for the NAIA Frontier Conference Orediggers for four years prior to graduating in 2013. From there she took over as head coach...
It has been a hot and muggy August in the gym for the Lady Pioneers. After watching the American Beach Volleyball duo of Kerri and April battle it out in the heat of Rio, inspiration was in no short supply. Big Sandy volleyball is very positive with former Pioneer standout volleyball player Shersteen Cline, coming in to coach the team and hopes and dreams are running high. Coach Cline and the Lady Pioneers headed to Centerville on Friday to kick-off the season. Saturday the team was back in the...
The Pioneer football team had a bye week to start the season so they took the opportunity to go watch the neighboring Box Elder Bears take on Hot Springs. The Bears finished second in all of Class C Six-Man football a season ago and Hot Springs is always a powerhouse. The boys witnessed a shellacking that could strain any players positive attitude. A score of 75-0 shocked me a bit since the last time the Bears played Hot Springs it was the Bears victory of 42-40 and sent them to the state...
The Big Sandy Barracuas swim season came to a dramatic end on Sunday in more ways than one. The team finished with their highest ranking in the state ever with the Roaring Lion fire providing a striking backdrop for team photos. The Barracudas captured the second place trophy in the Class A division, edging out western division rival Columbia Falls, and taking down Glendive, Roundup and Malta from the eastern division. The Scobey Swim Team, whose team comprises of 44 swimmers, took the Class A...
The Big Sandy Barracudas took 4th place overall with 32 swimmers competing at the Western Divisional Meet this past weekend. The Barracudas finished behind the Bitterroot Swim Team, Conrad and Columbia Falls. This is very impressive, considering that Big Sandy has the smallest school enrollment of any team in the Montana Federation of Swimmers. Our 4th place finish means that we will be swimming in the "Class A" division at the state meet. Class qualifications for state are determined...
The Big Sandy Barracudas took 5th place overall with 32 swimmers competing at the Fort Benton meet this past weekend. The Barracudas competed in their largest meet this season, with approximately 400 swimmers taking to the pool.

Also earning high point honors in the 11/12 boys category was Dillin Geyer (2nd place) and Cameron Schwarzbach (3rd place). Scoring wins...
