"HEPPNER'S b" Steve Sather, Sandy Matheny Steve Hedman, Jim Schaffitz Country Western ELKS CLUB HEPPNER HHS Splits Win In Hoop Openers By DALLAS HARSIN After losing a thriller by one point in overtime play Friday to the Grant Union i-rospeciors the Mustangs came back Satur day to even up their home rec ord by dumping the Enterprise Savages. The Grant Union game was the first game In the 19C9-70 hoop -season for both Grant un ion and Heppner, and also a first for the officials. This game didn't look like a season-opener, however, because both teums played sharp ball. Grant Union couldn't beat the Mustangs in the regular four quarters, but did manage to tie them, then catch them in a one period overtime. The Mustangs and Prospectors both failed to put the ball through the hoop for the first minute and half. Lee Huson fi nally got the season rolling by shooting a layln. The Mustangs were outscored in the first, third, and overtime periods. With two minutes left In the fourth quarter, they were ahead 62-56. They decided to foul a little, and the Prospectors picked up four points in a mat ter of seconds. With 1:18 left in the game, the score was ail tied up at 62 points each, iselther team could break the tie in reg ulation play. Then came the short Hire1 minute period that killed the Mustangs. Grant Union scored five points to the Mustangs' four and took home a 67-66 victory. Twice in overtime play La- Verne Van Marter was fouled while shooting. He missed the first two chances. Then with five- seconds left, through all the pres sure and nervousness, he swish ed two gift shots to give the Mustangs a one-point edge, bt- 65. The Prospectors brought the ball down the floor and just as the horn sounded Mike White cast off a 30-foot jump shot, putting it through for the two biggest points in the game. The Enterprise Savages didn't give the defending district champions such a tough game or such an exciting one. With 1:57 left in the first quarter the score was tied at seven points each, but at the end of the quarter the Mustangs were four points short of the Savages, 10-14. Before two minutes had elaps ed in the second quarter, the Mustangs had pulled In front 18-16. John McCabe scored eight points in a matter of a few sec onds. Four of the points came after he stole the ball from the Savages. Once behind, the Enterprise Savages were unable to catch the galloping Mustangs. When the horn sounded, the Mustangs had won their first game of the 1969-70 basketball season, final score 67-51. Three of the Mustangs tallied 41 points. John McCabe had the hottest hands with 24 points. LaVern Van Marter had 14 and Steve Kemp, 12 points.
