Mustangs Stick In Race
For Pennant With Wins
Both Grant Union and Burns
fell before the rebounding Hep
pner Mustangs here in Friday
and Saturday night high school
basketball games as the home
five fought its way back to tie
for the Greater Oregon league
lead with Sherman county. Moro
and Heppner now have identical
6-1 records, and each has only
cne to play against Pilot Rock.
The Mustangs scored 58 points
each night, downing Grant
Union in a nip and tuck thriller
Friday night, 58 to 45, and whip
ping Burns Saturday night, 58-43.
Although there was only two
points difference in the victoiy
margin between the two games,
the Mustangs had a much easier
time against the Hilanders Sat
urday night than they did with
the Prospectors Friday night.
In the Friday game, the win
ners had only a two-point mar
gin going into the fourth period,
34 to 32, but put on a sprint late
in the game for the 13 point mar
On Saturday night, they were
far in front at the start of the
fourth, 43 to 26, and the Mus
tangs coasted through the fourth
quarter with reserves finishing
the job.
Coach Bob Cantonwine wasn't
satisfied with his team's perfor
mance either night as the bas
keteers hit only .290 from the
floor each night, making 22 of
75 Friday and 18 of 63 Saturday
night.
However, the lads, under the
pressure of having to win to stay
in the running for a possible
title and a shot at the state tour
namont berth, turned the trick
each night
The Mustangs had a 23-19
margin over Grant at halftime
and a 28-19 spread over Bums
midway in the Saturday night
came
Jerry Gibson of Grant Union
was high point man in tne Fri
day night encounter with 21
iioints on nine field eoals and
three free throws, far in front of
the rest of the players on tne
floor.
Shan Applogate and Dick
Springer led Heppner, each with
14. Coming in for strong support
was Ken Smith, reserve, who
tallied 10 and won a starting
berth against Burns.
Lee Padberg topped the scor
ing Saturday night with 15 on
four field goals and seven free
llirows. John Porter 'had 11 on
live buckets and a lone gift toss.
These were the only two in dou

the lone fourth place consolation
game Saturday afternoon and

urday night.
Adding to Ione's Cinderella
finish in the Athena game was
the fact that the starting five
played "iron man" ball going
the route without substitution.
They outshot and outhustled the
highly-touted visitors, burning
the hemp at a .500 clip on an
even 26 baskets in 52 attempts.
This out-distanced the visitor's
record of 27 field goals in 71
attempts for a respectable .380.
The McEwen five took a short
edge at the start of the game
and held a 3-point margin by
the end of the first quarter, 14
to 11, but the Cards came back
strong to match them basket for
basket and pull into a 30-30
halftime deadlock.
With all the starters finding
the range, lone forged to a slight
lead midway in the third quarter
and upped it to five points, 49
to 44, by the start of the fourth.
In the final frame they at one
time led by seven, but the
Athena five attempted to battle
back, closing it to the four point
margin by the game's end.
rlayea betore a lull house,
the contest proved to be a "great
team effort" for the Cardinals,
in the words of Coach Biehl.
Center Ron Crabtree, though
shy of the 25 of McMillan of
Athena by two points, tallied
23 to lead the Cards, hitting
nine field goals and five free
throws. Rollle Ekstrom was sec
ond high for lone with 15 on
six baskets and three free throw.
Jim Martin, who has been com
ing on strong in late season,
reaching double figures in the
last four games, made 12 on
four buckets and four free
throws.
