Heppner Bops Grant For Tenth Win
HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. 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.

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.
The win was the fourth of the
season for the Mustang's in
league competition and left the
local crew in sole possession of
the top spot with a mark of 4-0.
The Mustangs are 11-1 for the
season.
Heppner got off to a fast start
in the first quarter and jumped
to an early 10-2 lead before the
Hilanders could score from the
field. 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.

ON THE FENCE
The question of spending vs saving has
many a man "on the fence!" Some decide to
save what's left after they do their spending.
Others decide to spend what's left after they
do their saving. We've noticed that those who
do their saving FIRST are the ones who really
forge ahead financially. If you are "on the
fence," why not hop off in the direction of
systematic saving here?
