Football roundup: Sandry leads Bigfork by Florence
BIGFORK — Josh Sandry scored two touchdowns, including a 72-yard punt return to lead No. 5 Bigfork (2-0) to a 20-0 beating of Florence (0-2) on Friday night.
Sandry was 7 of 15 passing for 67 yards but lit up the night with his legs, scoring twice in the first half, on a 3-yard run in the second quarter and the return four minutes earlier.
Boyd Rieke plugged in the final score for the Vikings in the fourth quarter. Rieke had 21 carries for 95 yards in the contest.
“I’m proud of the way the kids played, they’re gritty,” Bigfork coach Todd Emslie said.
“I think we made some steps. We got a little better from last week, but we’ve got a long way to go to get where we want to be. They’re out there learning the varsity game. It’s fun to watch.”
