Hilanders Throw Scare
But Home Team Wins
Anyone who didn't watch
Hcppner play Burns here Friday
night missed an exciting game
of basketball as the Mustangs
pulled out a close one, 50-47.
The Hilanders once led 11-7
early in the first quarter, but
that was the only supremacy
they felt all night. The Mus
tangs tied the score at 12-12
then went ahead for good.
Mac Hoskins and Steve Pet
tyjohn did a fine job on the
boards as they started the fast
break many times with an out
let pass to Jim Doherty. The
Doherty-Hoskins combina t i o n
was too much for Burns to
handle. Time after time Doher
ty fed Hoskins in the key and
the lanky center would hook or
make his short jumper count for
two. Doherty nonchalantly play
ed his usual game, swishing
several 25-footers, and ended
with 18 points.
It wasn't a walkaway by any
means. While Heppner led at
half-time, 26-20, and at the
third quarter, 36-32, the Hi
landers made a desperate last
effort to regain the lead. Late
in the final period Burns came
within two points then sank a
foul shot and the Mustangs held
on to a slim one point lead, 46
45. With seconds left Burns had
control of the ball, but Doher
ty tied up 6-3 Rick Weir, and
forced a jump ball. Many fans
still don't know how Jim got
the tip, but Heppner regained
possession.
Dave Hall took a shot and
was fouled. Hall potted one of
the shots at the gift line to put
the home team two points !
ahead.
Then it was Hoskins' turn. '
With less than a minute to play '
he got a pass from outside and j
hit a short jumper for two and
was fouled. He calmly sank the
foul shot to put the game out
of the reach of the frustrated
Hilanders. Burns, however, scor
ed again to end the game with
the tally standing 50-47.
Heppner did not make one of
its better showings as only four

Currently they hold wins over

and 13 respectively.

Echo, Umatilla Victims
As Cards Extend Streak
Echo and Umatilla basketball
teams met defeat at the hands
of the lone High squad over the
week-end as the Cardinals ran
their victory string to four.
Coach Gone Pockter's team
rolled over Kcho Friday night at
Echo. 56 to 42. and tripped I'm
:illa at lone Saturday night. 57
to 49. bringing their season's
tongue record to five wins
against two defeats.
Hitting 40 or better from the
field in the games and employ
ing a tight defense, the Cards
'od throughout both contests.
Against Echo, the lone defense
forced Echo into long hurried
shots.
Five fastbreak layins in the
first quarter paved the way for
a 17-6 first quarter margin for
the Cards. Halftime found them
ahead. 29-15, and the 14 point
spread hold up through the rest
of the game. End of the third
quarter was 41-27 and the final
margin was also 14 at 56-42.
lone hit an even .400 from the
floor to .250 for Echo. On the
free throw line, the Cards were
14 for 23, while Echo made on
ly seven in 20 tries. Rebound
ing edge went to the losers, 44
to 38. Chris Lovgren topped lone
rebounders with 10, while Hal
vorsen had nine. Echo's Colburn
had 15.
"Everyone looked good on of
fense," said Coach Dockter after
the game. "The boys moved the
ball real well and took the good
shots."
Point spread in the Umatilla
game was never more than nine
points although lone was on
top all the way. The Cards
spurted to a good first quarter
lead, 17 to 10. and it was a see
saw contest from there on.
As in the Echo game, the
lone defense was tough. Uma
tilla was forced to take outside
shots, and in the second hall
made only eight of 27 tries.
Virgil Morgan played an out
standing game, called his "best
of the year" by Coach Dockter.
The senior's 14 points was top
ped only by Frank Halvorsen,
Baby Mustangs
Lose to Burns
The Heppner Jayvees played
even ball with the visiting
Burns Jayvees last Friday night,
but were outscored in the final
quarter and came out on the
short end of a 45-43 score.
Jon O'Donnell and Mike Smith
led the Mustang assault with
12 and 10 points respectively,
but the big man for the even
ing was Burns' Shelton. He
dumped 23 markers through the
basket.
The baby Mustangs set the
pace in the first and second
quarters and for a while it look
ed as if they might hold on to
their lead. The score at the first
quarter period was 9-8 and at
halftime the young lads had a
18-14 margin.
The Burns' Jayvees swished 12
markers through the hoops to
only 11 for the Heppner five to
bring the score closer at 29-26
when the third quarter closed.
Then the Baby Mustangs went
cold and couldn't keep the pace
with the young Hilanders. The
Burns Jayvees outscored the
home town Jayvees by five
which set up the final 3-point
margin.
