Wahtonka game Friday night Heppner" Lee Padberg scraps for possession of the elus ive ball and is surrounded by three Eagle cagers. (G-T Photo) Mustangs Top Eagles For League Victory Heppner High's basket ball quint won a "Divine Comedy," Friday night on their home court as they upstaged the Wah tonka High Eagles and gained a 59-39 win. The victory was the thirteenth of the season for the Mustangs and brought their record to 131. The agenda for the mistake filled contest was s6t in the first few minutes of play when the Wahtonka five scored the first four points of the game, two for themselves and two for the home club when one of their players tipped a rebound into the Hepp ner bucket. The "Divine" part of the above mentioned title was im plied from the Heppner point of view. It was indeed a gift to the Mustangs that more of the 85 shots that the Eagles took from the field didn't find their way into the- hoop. As it turned out, the Wahtonka club was frigid and made only 12 of their tries good for a .140 shooting average. While the Eagles were man aging to cope with their shoot ing problems, the Mustangs were having some of their own as they found the range on 21 of 69 attempts for a .303 mark. The referees had their work cut out for them in this free wheeling affair. They whistled 43 infractions during the. con test. Neither team could make a bid at the charity stripe as Heppner made 13 for 32 and Wahtonka sunk 15 for 29. Coach Bob Cantonwine used all 12 of his Heppner warriors in the scramble and all but one of the players managed to hit the score column. Heppner jumped to an early 14-8 lead in the first quarter and MCGG Spanks BMC In Benefit Game Blue Mountain College fell victim to the. Morrow County Grain Growers 85-72, Thursday night in the March of Dimes benefit basketball tilt at the Heppner high gymnasium. The closest the Blue Mountain quint could get to the locals was early in the first half when they pulled to within one point of the local quint, 8-7. Clint Agee pull ed the locals out of their slump by potting three hookers, giving the Morrow quint a 14-7 advan tage over their younger rivals. Agee was the big man on the boards for the Heppner five as he used his 67" frame to best advantage and hauled in all the loose balls that were anywhere near him. The big center led his team mates to a 42-35 halftime ad vantage. Blue Mountain was not to be denied, however, and after the intermission break, put the pressure on the taller Morrow county quint. Midway in the second half, the Blue Mountain five pulled to within two points of the Growers at 54-52. At this point in the contest, Ted Schadewitz, ex-EOC eager and present head casaba coach at Condon high school, put on a scoring show that lifted his team well into a commanding lead. From this point, the Grain Growers steadily pulled away from the college quint. Morrow county outshot the Blue Mountain team .450-.282 to get their winning edge, in the contest. Bob Cantonwine led the Hepp ner scorers with 18 points. Schad ewitz and Agee were close be hind with 16 and 15 respectively. Chuck Blackley led his team with 21 points and Kip Clark added 17.

The Mustangs led, 30-17, at the half and were ahead, 40-24, at the end of the third quarter. There were a few bright spots in the game for the Horsemen. One was the performance of their second unit which gave the crowd a good indication of what the Mustangs will have for the next season. Three of the sec ond unit, all of whom will be back for the next season, showed exceptionally well. Bill Snyder, a sophomore guard, handled the ball well and pulled one of the finest plays of the game when he drove to the bucket and dumped a solid left-hand e d banker through the twine. Dave Anderson, a junior forward grab bed his share of rebounds and contributed six points for the Mustangs. Bruce Spencer, an other junior at the center slot, roamed under the boards gather ing rebounds and scored a beaut iful tip-in late in the contest.
