Mustangs drop two gomes io John Bay
The Heppner Mustangs
bowed to the Grant Union
Prospectors, 50-35, in their
first basketball game of the
season Friday night at Hepp
ner High School Gymnasium.
Both teams got off to slow'
starts, but the Prospectors
managed to pick up momen
tum toward the end of the first
period. Mustangs had trouble
hilling the basket and fell
behind 14-R as the first period
ended.
In the second period the
Mustangs started hitting the
basket, but still had trouble
with ball control. With three
minutes left in the half they
managed to tie the game and
go ahead by one point, the only
time they were to have the
lead in the entire game. Their
lead was short lived as the
Prospectors took the play
away from the Mustangs and
had a slim 20-17 lead as the
half ended.
