Suggested Video

Sneads gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They came out on top against the Bozeman Bucks by a score of 62-49. For the Pirates, this counts as revenge for the 49-44 win the Bucks walked away with the last time they faced one another back in February.

Sneads' win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Mekhi Mcleod, who went 9 for 10 en route to 18 points plus six rebounds and two blocks. What's more, Mcleod also racked up two offensive rebounds, the most he's had since back in December of 2023. Brody Burch was another key player, going 5 for 9 en route to 13 points plus six rebounds and four steals.

When it comes to explaining why Bozeman lost, don't look at Jamie Hernandez. Despite the final result, he scored 13 points plus nine assists and nine rebounds. Hernandez has been hot recently, having posted nine or more rebounds the last four times he's played. Another player making a difference was Kolton McClelland, who posted eight points along with six rebounds and two steals.

Bozeman's defeat ended an eight-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 2-1.

Sneads will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Holmes County at 6:45 p.m. on December 3rd. Bozeman has already played their next match, a 48-43 loss against Arnold on the 25th.
