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 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.

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...

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 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...
