Mustang '11' Performs
Nearly to Perfection
In Crushing Eagles, 41-0
Br mac hoskins
If you could put toccthcr the
perfect football game, what
would you come up with?
That's an easy question, at
least for any Heppner prid fan.
It would have to be the Mus
tangs' 41-0 victory over Wan
tonka here Friday night, which
not only enabled the Horsemen
to win the 7-A-2 western divis
ion championship, but also gave
them a crack at the vaunted
Vale Vikings for the District
laurels.
If everything ever clicked all
at once, this was the night The
visiting Eagles were overpower
ed in virtually even- depart
ment: running, passing, block
ing, and last, but certainly not
least, defense.
first plav from scrimmage, Jim
IXihertv took a pitchout from
Quarterback David Hall, who
rolled out to the Mustang M
and heaved a "home run" to
Mike Alsup, who was finally
dragged down on the Wanton
ka 17. Then Dohcrty sneaked
through the middle to the three.
To cap things off, hard hitting
Jim Jacobs zipped around loft
end for the clincher. Finally,
Doherty, working faun a "shot
gun" position, rifled a pass to
Alsup for the extra point.
After several futile attempts
bv Wahtonka to get the ball
moving, they relinquished the
pigskin to Heppner via the punt
ing route. The Mustangs took
possession on their 30, but soon,
with Doherty and Don O'Don
nell carrying, moved to the
Eagles' 41. From here, the shifty
ive. which had 'been sporadic at i Doherty s printed upfiold for the
times earlv in the season, was j second Heppner ID. This time
in large part responsible for the
win. Time and again, the Eag
les were driven back Into their
own territory. Mike Alsup, sterl
ing Sherman transfer, Stan
Rauch, Rick Johnston, Dennis
O'Donnell. Terry Corbin, Jim
Jacobs, Nalbro Cox, Dean Kin
dle these were just some of
the boys who repeatedly drop
ped Eagle quarterback Don Cael
and his cohorts for substantial
deficits.
Heppner started with a big
bang and continued it On the
Cardinals Better
Umapine, 49-20;
Strong Wind Helps
Aided by a strong wind, Ione's
Cardinals scored 21 points be
fore visiting L'mapine's team
touched the ball in the final
game of the football season at
lone Oct. 2S. Final score favor
ed the Cardinals, 49 to 20.
Only contact that Umapine
had with the football in the
early stages of the game was
when the visitors kicked off to
lone. lone kept possession and
drove to within 12 yards of the
Umapine goal. At that point
Chris Lovgren. quarterback,
fired a pass to Leon Magill who
went over for the first score.
Lovgren ran the extra point.
Freakish things started to
happen when lone kicked off
after the TD. A strong wind
caught the ball as the boot went
high in the air. It traveled some
15 yards in the air towards the
Umapine team when the wind
caught it and brought it back
to land near the lone team. One
of the Cards pounced on it, mak
ing it a naturally-aided onside
kick. Again the lone team
moved down on a sustained
drive, and this march was cli
maxed by a 15-yard pass play,
Lovgren to Eddie Sherman, for
the touchdown. Monte Crum
ran the point, and it was 14-0.
Once more, the Cards kicked
off, but the same friendly wind
brought the ball back to them,
and they gained possession
again. Two plays later, Lovgren
hit Sherman on a 35-yard pass
play, and the home team had
its third touchdown. Lovgren
ran the point, making it 21-0.
Umapine finally got the ball
on the next kickoff, but they
had to give it up in a few min
utes on downs. lone took over
and moved into position to
score again. Lovgren took it in
on a quarterback sneak from
19 yards out, and Crum ran the
point, making it 28-0.
Umapine wasn't out of the
ball game by any means. They
came back on the next series
and hit the scoreboard when a
back boomed into the end zone
from four yards out. The extra
point was made on a run, and
it was 28-7.
lone tallied once more before
halftime. Lovgren fired a bomb
to Sherman for 47 yards for the
touchdown and then he passed
to Magill for the point, bring
ing it to 35-7.
Each team scored in the third
quarter. Ball hit the end zone
for lone from two yards, and
he also ran the point, rolling
the count to 42-7. Umapine
came back to ring the bell on
a 6-yard run, but missed the
point, and it was 42-13.
In the first of the fourth, the
visitors rolled once more, fin
ishing a drive with a 4-yard
run and also running the point,
running the total to 42-20.
Just before the end of the
game, Crum took the pigskin
over from the one-yard stripe
and ran the point for the final
total, 49-20.
Meanwhile, the Riverside Pir
ates downed Echo and captur
ed the championship with a 4
(5 league recrod.
The Cards finished second hi
the circuit with a 3-1 and will
now put their grid togs away,
pointing next for basketball.
Weston ended with a 2-2 mark,
Echo hid 1-3 and Umapine 0-4.
Coach Gordon Mqyers' boys,
with the Umapine victory, won
three in a row in league play
after a slow season's start,
bringing a fine climax to the
season. Their overall record was
four wins, two losses and one
tie.
Score:
Umapine 0 7 6 7 20
lone 28 7 7 749 1
he ran the extra point in too,
making the count 13 0.
The second quarter was a dif
ferent story, however, as neith
er team was able to maintain
any sort of a sustained drive.
But the fans did witness sev
eral outstanding runs by Doher
ty and 'Jake1', as well as some
stalwart defensive efforts by
both teams.
Both Heppner and Wahtonka
took to the field with renewed
vigor for the third stanza. Wah
tonka received the kickoff and
promptly marched to the Hepp
ner 17 for its first and only chal
lenge of the game. But Hepp
ner recovered an Eagle fumble
here and fought back to the
Eagle 39 on some more fine
rushing. The Mustang signal
caller capitalized on the Eag
les' generositv by taking it up
the middle 33 yards for anoth
er six. Alsup missed the extra
point attempt with a boot wide
to the left
Late in the quarter, Hall, who
did everything but referee,
scored once again this time 36
yards around left end. The con
version run, also by Hall, was
good.
Going into the fourth quar
ter with a 27-0 lead should have
been enough. But it wasn't
Adding insult to injury, Hepp
ner racked up two more TD's
in the final period.
Once again Wahtonka start
ed to move at the beginning of
the quarter. But Terry Corbin,
whom Coach Ed Hiemstra sing
led out as a deciding factor ir.
his post-game praise, threw
Eagle quarterback for a big
loss, and Heppner took over.
Doherty then pitched a 36-yard
strike to Bill McLeod on the 2.
Two plays later McLeod took a
Hall lateral over for the score.
Hall's speedy legs carried him
in for the extra point.
The final score, near the end
of the game, was one which had
to be seen to be believed. Won
drous Jim Doherty, the Mus
tang's personal pigskin magic
ian, tossed a long bomb to Bill
McLeod for what was seeming
ly a touchdown. But a penalty
muffed it. So this time Doher
ty spiralled an even longer one
(53 1 yards to frosh Lee Huson.
Hall provided the last icing on
Heppner's Homecoming cake
with an anti-climaxed extra
point run.

backfield at fullback.
