Huskies stop Heppner,
slows championship hopes
Heppner's unbeaten bubble was burst Friday night in
front of a huge partisan crowd at the Mustang grounds by a
stubborn, stingy Sherman County, 16-0.
The loss, which drops Heppner to second at 5-1, forces a
j Mustang win over Umatilla tomorrow to insure champion
' ship hopes. Umatilla is still unbeaten at 5-0 following a
forfeit cancellation last week to Riverview, a non-conference
foe.
Heppner was a step behind the Huskies all night Friday.
But, they played scoreless with Sherman County for three
quarters.
Sherman County thwarted the Mustang offense,
stopping them after just 94 total yards. Sherman's Kevin
Kasebery, a 175 pound sophomore, ran amok and piled up
204 yards on the ground. He also scored both Husky TDs.
Heppner was without Chris Wright, regular center.
Wright who was ill, should be back for Friday afternoon's tilt
at Umatilla.
Without Wright, Heppner was forced to experiment
and used three centers by the time the gun had sounded,
ending the first stanza.

While Kasebery and Sherman were pounding out 296
yards in total offense, Heppner'a backfield was gumming up
80 yards on the ground. Steve McLauhlin, Tom Skow and
Wayne Seitz each had 25 yards to their credit
In the air. the Mustang attack backfired and was
disastrous. Bruce Young threw five passes, completed one
for minus two yards. He also had two interceptions.
Brian Marlin was one for one for 16 yards when a punt
try was devoured by Sherman defenders and he passed in
desperation to Skow.
Jerry Cutsforth threw the other Mustang pass which
also went as an interception.
Both teams rapped out a sluggish three quarters,
playing within each others 10 yard lines throughout the first
half.
A big turning point in the game came in the third
period. Heppner marched to the Sherman five yard line,
threatening to score. A past was thrown that hit the
receiver in the hands but fell away. A field goal attempt
failed.
Sporseen called that the turning point. Heppner bad
already held the Huskies within their own five yard line
twice in the game before that crucial turnover.
In the fourth period, with about six minutes to go,
Kasebery went off tackle on the right, broke to the left and
was on his way. Marlin was the only defender with a shot at
Kasebery but when referee Jim Eardley fell in his way,
causing Marlin to fall. Kasebery had an unattested jaunt, 45
yards to paydirt.
The second TD came with less than two minutes to play.
A blocked punt, one of two by Mark Parker, gave Heppner
needed momentum with the ball on the Sherman 40. But an
intercepted pass thwarted the effort and sent Sherman
towards the goaL
A few plays later, Kasebery drove over from three
yards out with the touchdown that insured the victory.
Parker paced the defensive unit with 22 points on a pair
of blocked punts. Carl Christman had 17 points on five
tackles and Marlin had 16 points. Marlin blocked one pass
and recovered a fumble, along with two unassisted tackles.
Jim Kenny had 14 points and John Schiller, 11.
