HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES,
Mustangs To Meet
Wahtonka, McEwen
In Cage Contests
Heppner opens the second
round of Greater Oregon league
basketball play Friday night as
It hosts Ihe Wahtonka High
school Eagles of The Dalles. The
Mustangs hope to extend their
5-0 league record when they
meet the Eagles, a team they
have beaten once this season.
Tuesday night, the Mustangs
will travel to Athena to meet the
McEwrn Scotties In a non-league
contest.
Earlier in the season the Mus
tangs met the Wahtonka club
on the Eagles' home court in The
Dalles. In that contest, the Was
co club proved surprisingly
tough and made the Heppner
club scramble to gain a 49-45
win.
The Mustangs, on the other
hand, are convinced that an un
usually small gym and a cold
night from the field were the
reasons for their mediocre show
ing against the Eagles and will
be out to prove their point to the
home fans.
The Horsemen hope to further
their 12-1 season's record when
they meet the Eagles and at the
same time, gain more punch in
their drive for the loop crown.
Tuesday night the Mustangs
will put a lot of prestige on the
block when they meet the
scrappy Scotties, another team
they have faced victoriously this
season.
Although the McEwen club is
In the state B ranks, it is highly
regarded by the A-2 clubs in the
area. The Scotties knocked off
A-2 Pilot Rock earlier in the
year by a considerable margin
to make others sit up and take
notice.
In their earlier meeting, the
Scots lost a squeaker to the
home club by a 64-58 margin.
In that contest, the lead changed
hands many times and the Mus
tangs had to go all-out to gain
their triumph.
Friday evening the McEwen
five dumped highly regarded
Weston to the tune of 79-47 as
three of their starters hit in the
double figures. The win put the
Scots in sole possession of the
lead in the Umatilla-Morrow
league with a record of 9-0.
Should the Mustangs drop the
Tuesday contest to the Scots it
would seriously jeopardize the
Mustangs fifth place rating
among the top ten A-2 quints
in the state.
In the initial meeting between
the clubs, the Mustangs were
without the services of Doug Du
buque and Ken Smith. With Du
buque in the line-up for this
contest, the Mustangs expect to
give the Scots a whirl for con
trol of the boards. Smith's ball
handling talents will also weigh
heavily in the Heppner plans.
Mike Shields leads the high
powered McEwen scoring attack
and is a threat on the boards.
In the first contest, Shields
counted 21 against the Mus
tangs. Heppner High Aids

Heppner's Mustang basketball
five traveled to Pilot Rock Fri
day night determined to keep
their unblemished league record

Pilot Rock opened fast and
took a 8-2 lead before it hit a
cold spell and allowed the Hepp
nerites to catch them and take
a 10-8 first quarter lead.
During the course of the sec

even more determined to upset
the Mustangs as they battled
to 24-22 halftime score with the
Mustangs protecting their min
ute lead.
After the intermission, the
Rocket attack sputtered momen
tarily and by the end of the
third period, the Heppner squad
had increased its margin to six
points at 40-34.
The Rockets kept up the chase '
in the final eight minutes but
couldn't mount a serious threat
as the Mustang cagers fought
doggedly to preserve their win.

mendous effort for the Umatilla
county club and ended the game
with 28 points. During the even

Ponies Take Pair
On Condon Floor
By KIT ANDERSON
Heppner's Ponies took both
basketball games from the Con
don Demons Saturday, January
18, as the "B" team won, 29-19,
and the "A" team came through
with a 24-22 victory.
The Ponies' "B" team led at
all quarter stops and at the half,
19-8. With the bench cleared, the
Heppner lads went on to win
by 10 points. Calvin Ashbeck led
the scoring for Heppner.
Heppner's junior high "A"
team had to play against a
much taller Condon team, led
by 6 0 center John Rinehart, but
they overcame the handicap to
win.
The Ponies maintained a 11-11
tie at the half, but in the third
quarter fell behind by five
points. In the last quarter the
Heppner lads scored 11 points,
with the last two coming on free
throws with only 20 seconds left.

games. Friday night the Cards

game and jumped to an early
11-7 first quarter lead.
Umatilla came on strong in the
second stanza and outhustled
the Cards. The Viks counted 17
in the period while holding the
Redbirds to 12 and took a one
point, 24-23 lead fnto the locker
room at halftime.
The momentum of the Uma
tilla attack carried into the
third quadrant as the Viks con
tinued in their scoring barrage.
By the end of the quarter, the
Vikings had widened their
lead to six points at 43-37
With less than two minutes
to go in the final period, the
Umatilla five held an eight point
advantage. At this point the
Card warriors put on an enviable
rally that pulled them into a tie
with the Viks with less than a
minute to play. This was as
close as the lone quint could
get, however, as an over-anxious
eager committed his fifth pers
onal of the contest and the Vik
ings converted the error to their
advantage and turned it into a
three-point play.
Following this, the Cards were
able to score another counter
from the floor but were unable
to overhaul the Viks.
Jay Ball was top scorer for the
Cards and for the contest as he
hit the twine for 24 points. Mark
Halvorsen counted 14 for the
lone quint.
Gilbert Thonstad led the Vik
ing attack with 18 followed by
Albert Eisele with 12.

attack in the Saturday con
test as it drubbed the Arlington
cagers, 80-45.
The Cards coasted in the first
half as they found little resis
tance from the Arlington club.
At the intermission the Card
inals were in command of a 34
22 advantage.
Coach Dick Strait's charges
really went to work in the third
period as they hit the hoop with
abandon and ended the stanza
with a total of 26 points counted.
The third period was a good in
dication of what lay in store for
the hapless Honkers in the final
quarter.
During the last phase of the
game the Redbirds found their
mark for 20 points and held the
Arlington crew to nine counters.
Three Ionians scored in the
double figures for the night. Tom
Heimbigner hit for 18, Mark
Halvorsen for 17 and Joe Halv
