Heppner bumps Condon
It was a basic case of too
youngs, too hots, and too longs
for the Cardinals of lone last
Friday. The Cards bumped
heads with Powder Vaiiey in
their season opener and drop
ped the eight man football
game, 22-6.
"You never feel good when
you lose," Gordon Myers, lone
head coach said, "but the kids
did a pretty good job."
Five freshmen started for
lone in the humid heat Friday
in the 2 p.m. clash. Many of
the players had to go both
ways on offense and defense
without much break time.
"We got tired. I just didn't
have enough players to give
em a rest," Myers said. "A lot
of kids had to go the whole
game. It's not that they are in
bad shape, they just need a
rest once in a while."
"Heart?" Myers asked
himself. "They gave just
about everything they had."
Despite the heat and inex
perience, lone gave a fair
showing. Kevin McCabe, a
sophomore back, was the
team's highlight. McCabe ga
ined 114 yards in the contest,
rushing for 27 and catching
seven passes for 87 yards.
Another lone back, Terry
Starr, came up with two first
downs on "shear effort" and
lone Jr.
(Continued from Page 6)
Sporseen gives one point for
an assisted tackle, two for an
unassisted tackle and four
points for the fumble recov
ery. Mark Parker, who piled
1 onto the lone Blue Devil
fumble, had 12 points, follow
ed by John Schiller, Chris
Wright and Marty Smith with
10 each.
While the Mustangs slowed
Condon's offensive attack,
Sporseen was still concerned
with the Heppner tackles. He
called the arm tac kling "hor
rible" and said game films
showed constant arm tack
ling. "We'll be alright." he said
though, "providing everybody
learns by their mistakes and
we buckle down."
Both teams were offensively
dormant in the first period,
battling to a scoreless tie at
the end of the first 12 minutes.
In the second quarter,
Heppner took advantage of
good field position and behind
Allstott's commandeering,
moved the ball to within the
Condon 10 yard line. Two
plays later, from the four, ,
Skow went off tackle for the
first touchdown of Heppner's
1976 season. McLaughlin boot
ed the extra point and the
Mustangs led, 7-0.
The half ended that way but
Condon came bouncing back
In the third period. In that
stanza, Heppner was fighting
it's way out of it's own terri
tory when the ball was
fumbled and a Blue Devil cov
ered it up.
From the 20 yard line, Con
don marched to the five where
quarterback Mack Mcintosh
carried it in. A two point
conversion gave Condon a one
point edge.
Heppner moved into the
final period trailing by one.
But a long pass from Allstott
to Christman gave the Mus
tangs the momentum and the
field position to take the game
away trom their rivals.
Christman was tripped up at
the one after the pass and a
hearty run of 86 yards. Allstott
dove into the end zone for the
go ahead TD.
Condon, in a do or die situ
ation, began to stalk back
down the field. But, with a
little over a minute and a half
remaining, Allstott picked off
a Condon pass and the Mus
tangs ran the clock out for the
victory.
Heppner goes to Pilot Rock
today (Thursday) for an 8
p.m. encounter with the Rockets.
