Mustang golf continues to dominate green
Team hosts Mustang Invitational this Friday
The Heppner Mustang
golf program has been busy
the last couple of weeks
with matches, and they
have done very well. The
Heppner girls’ team stayed
undefeated on the season by
winning tournaments in La
Grande and John Day. The
boys’ team also won the
team title at the John Day
tournament and finished
third at the always tough
Westside Christian tourna-
ment held at the Pumpkin
Ridge Golf course in Hill-
sboro.
The Mustang girls’
team shot a 393 at La
Grande to take the team
title. Sophie Grant finished
second overall and led the
team with a score of 90.
Nicole Propheter was next
with a 96 while Amanda
Rea shot a 101 on the day.
Madison Combe recorded
a 106, Claire Grieb shot a
107 and Caitlyn Scrivner
had a 109. Susie Cason also
traveled and golfed for the
Mustangs.
The girls’ team also
won the Grant Union In-
vitational in John Day by
shooting 426 as a team. The
weather was not the best
for a golf tournament, as it
hailed several times and the
337. Logan Grieb was the
first-place medalist for the
tournament, shooting a
79. Dan Bretsch finished
second with an outstanding
round of 81. Logan Bur-
right stepped up and fired a
season best 88 for the Mus-
tangs and freshman Kellen
Grant followed with an 89.
Other Heppner golfers who
went and played were Jake
Lindsay, Cason Mitchell,
Reno Ferguson, Charles
Cason, Casey Fletcher and
Wyatt McNary.
Several Mustang golf-
ers traveled to Hillsboro
to play the Pumpkin Ridge
course. The team finished
third at the invitational tour-
nament that features some
of the top individuals and
teams from the west side of
the state. Many of the top
placers at the state golf tour-
nament play in this event.
The entire course was very
wet and many places were
so wet that they were unable
to mow them. This meant
that the rough was very tall
and unforgiving. It was a
struggle for all that played,
but it was a great experience
for the team to golf there.
The Mustangs finished
in third place with a team
score of 369. That was only
seven strokes out of the
first-place score of 362 shot
by Portland Adventist. Lo-
gan Grieb finished in fifth
place overall by shooting an
83. Kellen Grant was next
with an 89 and Bretsch shot
a 94. Lindsay rounded out
the team score with a 102.
This Friday the team
will host several visiting
schools at the Mustang
Invitational. The tourna-
ment will be held at Willow
Creek Country Club and
the action begins at 10 am.
Mustang golf supporters are
encouraged to come cheer
on the team.

tages, to how teams would
score on a specified hole.

ages added to the enjoy-
ment of the evening.

becue is scheduled for the
