Thursday, January 23, 1964 Heppner High's Mustangs dis played a cool shooting percen tage Friday night as they de feated a cooler shooting Grant Union of John Day basketball quintet, 58-37, in a game which saw few intense moments. The Horsemen shot .301 from the floor and .667 from the charity stripe while the Prospectors were struggling to gain .294 from the field and .563 from the free- throw line. Heppner set the pattern for the contest in the first quadrant as they plunked in 17 counters and held their opponents from Grant county to 10 marks. Ken Wright led the Mustangs in this iniiial assault and blitzed the basket from long range with deadly ac curacy. The game continued on this lopsided pace in the second quarter as it was all Mustangs and little Prospectors. Before the period had ended, Bob Canton- wine, Heppner mentor, had in serted part of his bench strength into the game to give them ex perience and at the same time, give his front line a rest. At the end of the second eight minutes the Mustangs went to the dress ing room in possession of a 27 17 lead. Following the rest break, the Prospectors went on a scoring spree that pulled them within 8 points of the Mustangs, 42-34, as the teams lined up for the final tipoff. In the fourth period, the Horse men picked up the pace and the Prospectors went ice cold. During the quarter, much of it with their subs in the lineup, the Mustangs hit the net for 16 counters and held the Grant Un ion quint to throe. Doug Dubuque was a thorn in the side of the Prospectors all evening as he collared 18 re bounds for the home five. Also impressive on the boards wee Dave George and Bruce Spencer. Lee Padberg continued in his role as point getter for the Mus tangs as he rolled in 19 counters. Ken Wright added 10 points to the Heppner effort. Mike Conklin led Grant Un ion with 10 points and Jerry Bev erage hit for 9.

(G-T Photo) Mustangs Topple Burns In Conference Meeting Heppner High didn't let down the pollsters who pick them among the elite in state A-2 basketball circles Saturday night as they showed a classy offense and defeated the Burns Hiland ers, 68-45, in a fast-moving game. The Mustangs shot a blistering .500 percentage from the floor for the night as they canned 30 out of 60 attempts. In the gift toss department, the Horsemen were lacking with a .286 mark, but they didn't need the charity tosses in their win.

At this point there were 5 minutes and 30 seconds gone in the contest. After the Burns five got their initial bucket from the floor they put up a healthy scrap that made the Horsemen hustle to maintain a 12-8 lead as they lined up for the second quarter. During the second stanza, the Hilanders and Mustangs ex changed buckets and at the in termission the Mustangs still commanded their four-point lead at 24-20. The home five exploded for 22 marks in the third quarter as Ken Wright put on an sn viable display of shooting skill and canned 12 points. Wright had the crowd gaping as ne re peatedly jumped in buckets from as far out as 30 feet. At the end of the period the Mus tangs had widened their lead to 12 points at 46-34. In the final quarter, the blue and gold warriors continued in their torrid ways as they ripped the rope for 22 more counters. Much of the point production for the period came from Doug Du buque as he found the range with a deadly hook shot and potted three beauties from the field. Dubuque also had an out standing night on the boards as he muscled in and continually hauled down rebounds. Dave Anderson gave a good indication of the reliability of the Mustang bench as he came in for a short stint in the final period and rapped the twine for four points and gathered in his share of rebounds. Lee Padberg was a ball of fire in the game as he pumped in 21 points and harrassed the opponents with his defense and rebounding talents. Wright con tributed 18 markers to the Hepp ner cause and also turned in a creditable defensive effort. Palmer and Kessel led the Burns effort with 11 and 9 points respectively.
