The scoreboard operator was busy Friday night in Big Sandy as the Pioneers capped off the 63rd Annual Chili Feed with a 89-52 win over the Power-Dutton-Brady Titans.
Big Sandy scored 11 rushing touchdowns in the contest, added another through the air and a 13th on a kickoff return and then added a Safety for good measure. The Titans were tough to stop as well, scoring eight total touchdowns in a game that saw the teams combine for 141 points.
The 89 points would win nearly every game on the basketball court and surely made for an interesting contest on the football field.
Sophomore Kade Strutz had yet another big game for the Pioneers, scoring four rushing touchdowns in the first quarter as Big Sandy led 27-15 at the end of one.
Strutz added two more scores on the ground and caught a pass from sophomore Quarterback Parker Proulx in the second quarter helping the Pioneers extend their lead to 54-27 at the break.
Strutz finished with 292 yards rushing on 23 carries, scoring six times on the ground. He also caught two balls for 35 yards and a score.
Proulx finished with 10 carries for 108 yards rushing and a score, while also throwing for 96 yards and a score completing seven of nine pass attempts.
Junior Brock Proulx added three second half rushing touchdowns and a 40 yard kickoff return in a dominate performance by the Pioneer Offense.
Brock finished the game with four rushing touchdowns and gained 63 yards on eight attempts. Big Sandy finished the game with 471 yards rushing and 567 total yards of offense.
The Pioneers close out the regular season this Friday at home against the Valier Panthers. They will then begin the Class C Six-man Football State Playoffs on Saturday, October 27.
