Waiting on a Win
CrowNews.Net
When the Little Bighorn College Rams step onto their home court Thursday for a game against Dawson Community College of Glendive, they will have claimed four victories so far this season. They'll also have more than two months of their roughly four-month-long schedule behind them.
Claiming that fifth win -- no matter how the team's wins and losses compare come late February -- would prove significant for LBHC, which got its basketball program started just last year under the direction of head coach Gordon Real Bird.
The fifth win, should it happen, would tip the team's victory tally to a new school record. Last year's mens team won four games. This year's team has six scheduled conference games left between now and when their National Junior College Athletic Association season ends Feb. 26.
The Rams will enter their game against Glendive coming off a pair of losses at home against Salish Kootenai College and Bismarck State, a team that edged the Rams by just three points to win 133-130 in double overtime.
The list of remaining NJCAA opponents includes some tough teams and bigger schools like Sheridan College, which beat the Rams in November. But team members, like second-year player Isaiah Stewart are holding out hope.
"It was a fun experience last year, even though we only had four wins," Stewart said. "It was a new program and the elders were telling me, 'It's OK you guys are just learning.' Hopefully this year we'll get more wins then we got last year.
