Heppner't league leading Mustangs continued on the
triumph trail Thursday, establishing a running game and a
second win in as many outings at Pilot Rock, 20-.
After what Mustang mentor John Sporseen termed a
"pitiful" first half, Heppner gave the ball back to the ground
gainers and ground out the victory.
The win left Heppner and Umatilla as the only undefeated
teams in the nine team Columbia Basin Conference.
While the second half did produce a more substantial
attack, the Mustang offense still was not over powering. But
the Heppner defense dug in and held the 1-1 Rockets to less
than 100 total yards.
The Rockets mustered 84 total yards, 17 in the air, against
a tough Heppner defense, sparked by senior Tim Daly. Daly
came up with five unassisted tackles and six assists.
Heppner's offensive rally wasn't all that much to Jump
about either but the Mustangs kicked up their heels for 83
yards on the ground and another 62 in the air, via two passes
from Dave Allstott to Carl Christman.
The slow scoring game saw a pair of touchdowns in the first
period. Christman was on the receiving end of a 48 yard lob
from Allstott that put the Mustangs out in front 6-0. A kick for
the seventh point failed.
Pilot Rock came bouncing back in the same period when
Bobby Walker turned a 49 yard jaunt into paydirt in the
Mustang end tone. A run for two failed there.
Both clubs were dormant In the second period but things
picked up for Heppner after intermission.
After that "pitiful first half", Sporseen went to his ground
game. The first half produced a minus SO yards on the ground
for Heppner,
"We stopped fooling around throwing the ball. We made a
lot of mistakes in the first half. We made mistakes in the
second too, but we still did a pretty good Job," Sporseen said,
praising his players second stanza effort.
Steve McLaughlin was the leading ground gainer, churning
up 56 yards on 14 carries. Tom Skow added 29 yards, Wayne
Seitz 18 and Brian Martin, seven.
Skow put Heppner in front for good with an eight yard off
tackle burst in the third period. Allstott went to favorite
receiver Christman, the Mustangs leading receiver with a 39
yard average, for the point after.
The third Heppner TD came on a two yard drive by QB
Allstott.
The key, Sporseen said, was "buckling down and playing
football in the second half." The Mustangs didn't throw the
football once in the second half, picking up 114 yards on the
ground after the loss in the first half.
Daly led the defensive tasks with Christman right behind
him. Christman, last week's Player of the' Week, had two
unassisted tackles and 11 assists. Others with two unassisted
tackles were Marty Smith, Chris Rauch, this week's Player
of the week; Brian Marlin and Jim Kenny.

Riverside Volleyball
Diane Holland and Vlckl Edmundson each sparked
Heppner't volleyball squad with nine points each on serves
as the Fillies dumped Riverside Tuesday. 15 S and 17 IS.
Holland was named Player of the Week by Rebekah
Randall, I IMS head coach.
The Filly JVs brought home a win In two strsljiht games,
winning 134 and IS 10 Krlnti Edmundnon scored 12 points
and Marie Yocum added seven.
In freshmen action, HI 13 froh ripped Riverside, 131 and
IS S. Janette Piper scored IS and Jana Steagall had 12.
"We should be number one
in the league."
Emphatic? You bet. Hepp
ner's head volleyball coach,
Rebekah Randall says it with
authority and confidence and
with a slight inkling of state
hopes.
She has tabbed 12 varsity
players from a turnout of 27
girls. The six girl team that
consistently starts on the
hardwood is made up around a
nucleus of three seniors.
Darla Cooper, called by
Randall "the best all-around N
player" is Joined in the upper
class ranks by Vicki Edmund
son 2nd Deb Holland.
Because of their height,
Randall said Edmundson and
Cooper are "probably the best
setters in the league."
Deb's sister, Diane, a jun
ior, plus sophomores Jackie
Mollahan and Maureen Healy
round out the starting six.
With Deb Holland, these four
are spikers.
Substitutes that see a good
share of action are seniors
Bonnie Schiller and Iva Lou
McDaniels, juniors Janice
Healy, Laurie Rea and Shelly
Thompson, and sophomore
Tanny Lucas.
Randall incorporates a 4-2
and 51 offense and relies
heavily on the fundamentals
of volleyball.
We don't go for much of that
fancy stuff," she said, noting
that the club simply works
hard on bumps, sets, spikes
and serves.
Vicki Edmundson and Rea
got the nod from Randall as
the team's best substituting
servers. Diane Holland, Ran-
' Z ' V
4
dall said, is the best regular
playing server.
Randall eyes as her best
spikers, Mollahan, both Hol
lands and Maureen Healy.
Heppner plays in the same
league with Condon, River
side, lone, Wasco and Sher
man County.
