Hi-Line Athletes of the Week

Kody Strutz, Big Sandy Football

Different season, same Kody Strutz. The Big Sandy senior quarterback led the Pioneers to a huge win over Heart Butte last week, 56-6. It was Big Sandy's third straight win, and for Strutz, it was another chance to showcase his talents both through the air and with his feet, as he accounted for four scores. Strutz, who also excels on the basketball court in Big Sandy, is a two-standout for the Pioneers, who are in first place in the Six-Man North.

Kira King, North Star Volleyball

North Star had a strong week on the volleyball court and Kira King was a big reason why. King averaged nearly 11 kills per match and was also lead blocker for the Knights as they won two matches against Hays-Lodge Pole, lost a heartbreaker to Chinook but rebounded to beat CJI. King is leading the Knights in both kills and blocks this season, and is also an excellent server. She also competes in basketball for the Knights.
