Knights, Pioneers earn weekend sweeps

With the holiday break out of the way, area girls basketball teams returned to the hardwood this past weekend. And it won’t be long until tournament time is here.

The new year started on Thursday night as the Big Sandy Pioneers thrashed Moore-Judith Gap 57-27 in Big Sandy. The Pioneers led 28-12 at halftime, and used a 21-5 run in the third quarter to put the Tigers away. Brooke Leader paced the Pioneers with a game-high 19 points, while Michelle Maxwell added 10 points in the win.

Things didn’t go as well for the Turner girls Thursday night. The Tornadoes were beaten at Hinsdale, 56-16. Ella Billmayer scored six points and Kristina Conlan had four for the Tornadoes.

In a District 9C showdown on Friday night, the North Star Knights secured a big road win, beating the Box Elder Bears 55-45. The Knights led 26-17 at halftime, then held off a charge by the Bears in the second half.

Tylynn Rettig led three Knights in double figures with 14 points. Mackenzie Hansen scored 12 and Kiera Miller added 11. Leilani Gardipee paced the Bears with 15 points.

The Chester/J-I Hawks remained undefeated this season, beating Valier 63-18 Friday night in Valier. The Hawks scored 42 points in the first half and never looked back in the 10C win. Haley Harmon poured in 18 points for the Hawks, while Denerey Haaland added 17 and Alixx Goldhahn added 12.

Friday was also the night the Rocky Boy Morning Stars suffered their first loss of the season. But it came at the hands of the Fairfield Eagles, who haven’t lost a game in three years. Fairfield beat the Morning Stars 65-34 in Fairfield, though Chanal Standing Rock continued her fine play, scoring 19 points in the loss.

On Saturday, both Big Sandy and North Star made it a weekend sweep.

In Turner, the Pioneers crushed the Tornadoes 71-21. Big Sandy outscored the Tornadoes 28-2 in the first eight minutes, and the game was never close after.

Molly Herron scored 15 points and Brooke Leader added 14 for Big Sandy. Shelby Gasvoda and Abby Gregory each scored 12 as well. Ella Billmayer led Turner with 10 points.

Meanwhile, in Gildford, North Star demolished Hays-Lodge Pole, 57-11. The Knights held the struggling T-Birds to just one first-half point in the lopsided win.

Mackenzie Hansen scored 11 points for North Star, while Samantha Pester added 10. Tre Stiffarm had six points for the winless T-Birds.

Saturday also saw Harlem fall to District 1B power Cut Bank. The Wolves beat the Wildcats 66-43 in Harlem. Techa Ereaux scored nine points and Coco Moore added eight for the Wildcats.

Also, Friday’s game between Chinook and Hays-Lodge Pole in Chinook was postponed due to poor travel conditions.
