I. 19T ish Mustangs bang out 13-8 Condon win Heppner's Mustangs ground out, a sluggish battle Friday night but emerged with the glory and a 13-8 triumph over rival Condon. John Sporseen, Heppner head mentor, acknowledged the (act that the game wasn't rea) sharp, but was pleased that his Mustang squad "managed to score five more points than the other team." Heppner took the offensive, scoring first in the second period and held a slim, 7-0 halftime score. After the intermission, the Blue Devils pounced on the only Heppner fumble of the evening and later turned it into a game leading TD. The Mustangs, led by a Carl Christman pass reception; came back with another tally late in the game and held on for the slim victory. "We didn't play real well," Sporseen said, noting that his linemen played much of the game from a vertical position. "We've got to get down to business," Sporseen said. "We've got to learn our assi gnments or get somebody else in there. It's a case of the backs finding the holes and-the linemen playing football where it's supposed to be played, near the ground." Despite the first game jitfprs and mistakes, the win puqjjped the Mustangs into the top f pot in the Columbia Basin Conference with preseason fa vorites Umatilla and Sherman Coifity.
