The teams were tied at 18-18 at the end of the fourth quarter, and when the game went into over time, the lone girls exploded with a six-point surge of pow er to clinch the defeat of the Heppner team. When adding up the girls' In dividual scoring, it was found that the score at the end of regular play was really 20-18 in favor of Heppner. The over time In which lone won the game was unnecessary. The game honors for high scoring went to Kay Huson of Heppner with 11 points. Maur een McEUigott and Karen Snow, both of lone, made eight each. All the girls who played are not expected to score because the girls' basketball rules des ignate two players on each team as defensive. These girls never get a chance to score be cause they can't cross the mid point line. The two teams will play again in the near future in lone.

The Mustangs, who may have underrated lone, fell behind 4 0 before they came alive and managed to pull ahead by a slim one-point margin at the first quarter's end. The local boys didn't improve too much in the second quarter, but pulled together enough to corral a six-point lead when they stampeded into the dress ing room at half time. The third stanza saw the Mus tangs double the Card's output, as they drilled 22 counters through the hoops while lone tallied 11. The two ball clubs played on nearly even terms in the final period with the Mustangs out scoring the Cards, 12-10. This brought about the 63-44 differ ence in the score. Three "big" Mustangs led the way to the victory. Hoskins dropped in baskets from the in side and Doherty kept the lone defense honest with his long shots. Hoskins dumped 17 points through the hoop while Doherty provided his share with 14 points. Jacobs came up with nine points and numerous re bounds. Jim Swanson, the sophomore forward of the Cardinals, hit for 14 points. Coach Bob Clough said that Swanson's shooting kept the Cardinals in the game the first half.
