Big Sandy Eighth grader Ryan Roth (1) lets a three-point shot go Friday night.
junior Laurence Allderdice scores a basket in Fort Benton. Allderdice scored 19 in the game with Roth adding the other eight of Big Sandy's 27 points.
The Big Sandy Pioneers boys and girls varsity basketball teams, along with head coach Ronnie Simpson have yet to pick up a win this young season but thats not for a lack of effort.
Junior Lawrence Allderdice has played very well for the Pioneers and has received a nice boost from eighth grader Ryan Roth in the process.
Those two combine for all 27 of Big Sandy's points Friday night in Fort Benton. The Longhorns defeated the Pioneers by final score of 62-27.
Big Sandy traveled to Chinook Saturday where Allderdice tallied eight markers and junior Eric Schwarzbach added six in a 64-22 loss to the 'Beeters.
The Boys fall to 0-2 in conference play and 0-4 overall.
The girls are very young and very inexperienced but are working hard to get better and have increased their numbers a bit with the addition of four eighth graders to the roster.
The team competes from start to finish regardless of the score and that is a good start.
The girls were defeated by both the Longhorns and the Sugarbeeters to begin the season 0-4.
Big Sandy will return to the court January 2 when they hit the road to take on the Hays/Lodge Pole Thunderbirds. They will face Chester-Joplin-Inverness on January 8. Their first home contest of the new year will be on the ninth against Box Elder.
