The Hays/Lodge Pole Thunderbirds girls and boys basketball teams were in Billings this past weekend taking part in the Annual All-American Indian Shootout at Metra Park.

Both squads came up short over the weekend however. The girls took on Lodge Grass Friday falling by a count of 77-44.

Saturday they faced a talented Lame Deer team and lost 77-24.

The boys had similar luck as they fell in the season opener to St. Labre 70-34.

Saturday the Thunderbirds were much more competitive but still suffered their second set back of the season 64-50 to Lame Deer.

The Thunderbirds will begin conference...
