An odd quirk of fate handed
the Heppner girls' basketball
team a defeat Friday night in
its first game with lone. 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.

Big Second Half
Brings Mustangs
Win over Cards
By RICK JOHNSTON
Heppner, though having troub
le pulling away from lone In
the first half of Friday's game
here, came storming out in the
second period to down the lone
larainais, w .
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.
