Mustangs Whip
lone Cardinals
-With 51-46 Win
By James Mcnahan
Heppner Mustangs toted heavy
weapons Saturday night when
they dumped the high flying
lone Cardinals 51-46 after run
ning up a lopsided 48-18 score
over an underma'nned Yellow
jacket '5" from Boardman the
preceeding night.
Rallying from a 3 point deficit
a tthe third quarters end the
Hustangs offensive unit caged 13
oipnts. The defense squad put
up an iron man defense to hold
the Cardinals to two goals from
the field which came in the last
54 seconds of play on desperation
shots.
The blue shirted Mustangs
pulled up with Echo for a lea
gue lead with whom they meet
this Saturday night for the lea
gue championship.
Rusty Morlans "buzzing bees"
found out their sting was not
quite potent enough as the Hepp
ner cagers ran up an early 7-0
lead and a steady pace rolled to
a 16-5 first panel lead.
Reserves played the major role
in the second quarter and turned
in an additional 7 points for a
comfortable 23-11 mid-game lead.
Foor ball handling that has
become a Mustang trademark for
Friday night games was conspicu
ous through out the tilt as the
Heppner quint tried unsuccess
fully to break the game wide
open by a massive score,
quint went into the third per-
Larry Dowen's game starting
iods action and increased the
blue and gold cagers lead to
8 more tallies by collecting 8
points on a field goal barrage
while the Ruhl brothers shot I.OOq
from the charity line.
Fourth period play saw reser
ves in action again as they
dunked in 7 of the Mustangs last
13 scores.
Heppner's ever improving de
fense held the Bees to 4 field
goals and a poor 10 out of 21
attempts from the gift line for
a total of 18.
Although by far the largest
swamping the Mustangs have
dealt a team this season it was
probably the poorest played
game of the year.
