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

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.
Turnout for the game was
good, with about 350 people
showing up to view the contest.
was never in serious trouble for
the rest of the game.
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.
Lee Padberg led the Mustangs
in the scoring department as
he gunned in 17 points. Doug
Dubuque backed Padberg's show
by contributing 9 counters.

in the period. McEwen capital
ized on the break and used it
to roar back to a 28-28 tie at
intermission.
Jim Whitney led the McEwen
surge that knotted the score.
Whitney ripped off six consec
utive points in the last few min
utes of the first half.
Heppner bounded back in the,
third preiod to gain a three
point lead at 40-37 as the teams
lined up for the final stanza of
play.
