It was the best offensive

It took two overtimes and a
lot of head scratching by
coaches, but Heppner's league
leading Mustangs hung onto
their undefeated status with a
26-20, heart stopping win over
Riverside Friday.
Riverside, though beaten,
left in their wake, senior
Mustang signal caller Dave
Allstott. Alls tot t will be lost to
the season after suffering a
dislocated shoulder late in the
contest.
Heppner jumped out to a
14-0 first period lead and
whispers of route went
through the stands. But by the
end of regulation, the Pirates
had stolen the Mustang glory
and were riding away with the
football.
At the end of the 48 minute
game, the score was knotted
at 20. The Kansas tie-breaker
was put into effect to decide
the contest. Each team had a
chance to score from the ten
yard line with four plays.
Heppner thwarted River
side's first attempt with an
interception, but couldn't
punch the ball over when they
got their chance.
Riverside was stalled again
the second go around, but the
Mustangs took advantage of
their opportunity. Brian Mar
lin plunged through the left
side into the end zone on a
third and five situation to give
the Mustangs their victory
and the Pirates a long ride
home.
Heppner outdistanced the
Pirates in every category. It
was two defensive mistakes
that pumped Riverside up and
led their momentum into the
second half.
Heppner capitalized a 44
yard drive in the first period
when Steve McLaughlin, the
leading ground gainer, took it
in from two yards out. The
kick was good.
Later in the same period,
Allstott escaped would-be
tacklers and pumped 11 yards
up the middle to pay dirt.
McLaughlin's kick topped the
83 yard drive that was high
lighted by an Allstott to Dave
Holland pass that netted 54
yards.
John Sporseen, head Mus
tang mentor, admitted the
Mustangs journeyed into Fri
day night's encounter, looking
for a "push over." With the
14-0 score in the first period,
that just added credence to
what the players already felt.
But the Pirates did their
best to undo that theory. In the
second period, a 39 yard pass
went from the hands of Dan
Bozarth to Chuck Metcalf. Jim
Sibertz ran the two point
conversion over and left the
Pirates a TD behind at
intermission.

was interrupted when Ladd
Kanyid picked off an Allstott
pass and trucked 26 yards to
tie the contest. The PAT was
no good.
Heppner, who never trailed
in the tilt, jumped on the next
touchdown. A 40 yard drive in
three plays was topped when
McLaughlin, who ran for 75
yards on 14 carries, skipped
into the end zone after a 36
yard run.
McLaughlin, who was two
for two on the extra points,
missed his third try, leaving

Tom Skow rushed for 22 yards Friday. Here he moves to get
outside and away from three Riverside defenders.

yards.
"I don't think they would

Sporseen called the game
Heppner's best of the season
offensively. The Mustangs
held onto the ball for 49
rushing plays and 15 passing,
the majority of the contest.
Defensively, Christman,
this week's Player of the
Week, was the Mustang stand
out, saving possible scoring
punches from his safety posi
tion. A twisted ankle sidelined
the senior receiver for a few
plays in the second half, but he
taped the twist and was back
on the turf at the final gun.
Christman came up with 21
points. Jumping on two fum
bles, grabbing five unassisted
tackles and four assists. John
Schiller, who was taken off the
field in a stretcher In the
second half, had 18 points,
recovering a fumble and
grabbing eight unassisted
tackles. Schiller popped his
neck, but should be back in
uniform tonight against Wes
ton McKwen.
Tim Daly had ten unassisted
tackles and Marty Smith ad
ded nine.

paced the Mustangs with
Wayne Seitz adding 30 yards
and Tom Skow, 22. Allstott

a season average of 50 per
cent, for a total of 107 yards.
