Capitalizing on their home court advantage, the Grant County hoopsters nearly blew the visitors off the maplewood in the first quarter by piling up a 23 4 bulge, which Hepp ner never was able to erase. In actuality, the Morrow county cagers played to a standstill with .John Day the rest of the contest, but the first quarter margin was too much of a def icit to overcome With John McCabe leading the way, Heppner forged back with 16 second quarter tallies, nearly matching Grant Union's 17, and went into the half time locker room trailing, 40-20. By the end of the third stan za, the Mustang Rooks had crept up another point, but were still behind, 49-30. Fourth quar ter scoring saw both quintets tallying 19, to end the game at 68-49. McCabe and Ronny Thunnell shared scoring honors, both with 18. Jim White tossed in 17 for the home-town 'five' while Lee Huson of Heppner and Mike Lissman of Grant Union each counted 11. The Mustangs' Pat Kilkenny added 11 rebounds to 10 points tor ms nigrts worK. In the close "B" game, which was a tight one down to the wire, Grant Union prevailed by the narrowest of margins, 40 39, on a basket made with on ly a few seconds to go. In this contest, diminutive Mark Lov gren flipped in 17 for game honors, while John Harris was second high with 10. Tell your advertiser you saw It in the Gazette-Times.

Last Home Game Friday for lone lone High school's basketball team will play its last home game of the season Fdday nighi when Echo invades the Card inals' gym. The Redbirds are currently tied for fifth place in the Umatilla-Morrow B league and with three games left, have a chance to climb a notch and gain a berth in the district tournament in Pendleton In early March. On Saturday night they travrl 'o Ummlla for a return game vith the Vikings, now standing second in the league behind Pilot Rock. If the Cards can take EchJ and upset Umatilla, they will be in a better position to gain on the field. However, the loss tc Stanfield last week hurt. Final game for Coach Gene Dockter's team will be at Uma pine on Friday, February 24. losses Plummet Heppner to 3rd; Crucial Tilt Due Greater Oregon League WESTERN DIVISION Sherman 7 Burns 7 Heppner 6 Grant Union 5 Enterprise 4 Madras 2 Wahtonka 2 Last week's results: Friday Enterprise 58 at Madras 61, Heppner 39 at Burns 42, Wah tonka 45 at Grant Union 66.

Saturday Heppner at Mad ras, Grant at Enterprise, Wan t;nka at Sherman. It's now or never! Because of their two losses last week, which subsequently dropped Heppner into third place from being at the top the week before, the Mustang hoop ers now face two do-or-die con tests this week-end. Friday night, the Blue-and-Gold take on league leading Sherman. This game could well decide the championship It is follow ed by the Saturday night en counter with Madras. The Husky-Mustang contest will be at Heppner, while the Madras Heppner fray will be held on the White Buffalo hardwoods. These r maining games are important on two counts. First, there is the battle for the league champions h i p. Second, and more important, is the securing of a district tournament berth. This year the first three teams of the GOL's Western Division qualify. Indeed, there is still a possibility, mathematically, of Heppner not qualifying, should it lose all of its remaining three and John Day win both its con tests. However, Heppner could also conceivably too the league bv the week's end, if Sherman lost both of its games, Burns loses to Enterprise, and the Mustangs are victorious both nights bnerman played only one last week, nipping Enterprise, 57-50, largely on the strength of Gene Lanthorn's fabulous 37 points. Stopping Lanthorn fig ures to be the main problem lor Heppner, although Dave Richelderfer hurt them badly in bnerman's previous 58-51 con quest of the Mustangs. It's an old cliche, but Hepp ner is counting no chickens. Ev en though the Sherman battle looms as the week-end's top Horseman neaaacne, Madras has also showed promise at times this year. Terry Rohde is the Buffalo's primary offensive threat. W lone Cards Bow To Stanfield; Bowl Over Helix A big third quarter gave Stanfield a 63-53 victory over lone High's basketball team at S'anfie'.d Friday night, but the Cards came back Saturday night to pummel Helix at lone, 58 to 37.

The home five sizzled on shooting in the second half, hitting 17 of 25 attempts i68ci. Frank Halvorsen was out of the game for lone in the ' third, skirting trouble with four i personals which he picked up in less than five minutes of the I first quarter.

I While Stanfield shot an ov- j erall .51J, lone trailed at .3 10. , Rebounding was even, but the ' Cards were a bit more ragged ! on floor play with 14 turnov-1 ers compared to eight for Stan field.

For the inlanders, how ever that kind of game paid off. At the end of regulation play, Heppner and Burns had plaved to a 33 3.1 stalemate. Russell Kilkenny, whose game is still somewhat restricted as a result of a kneo operation, started the rame an.l scored four of Hepp pex's six points in overtime. The way Burns was able to get into overtime in the first place will puzzle many Heppner fans for a few days anyway! With on; minute remaining in regulation play, the Mustangs were ahead by four. Pressing de fense by Burns forced a bail pass an-! the inlanders gained control of the ball. They capital ized on the opportunity and set) red. Burns should do something about its clock which confused both teams Heppno?, not showing one of its best performanres oi the sea son bv any means, shot a pit I ful 31 percent from the field. Tiley al.-sj hit nine for seventeen from the free throw line. Burns shot a cool 34 percent, which isn t exceptional but was adequa'e. The inlanders shot six for tight from the foul line.
