The Heppner Fillies, a much improved basketball unit, despite a second place showing last season, figure on winning the district title this winter. With a good nucleus of five seniors. Joined by four juniors and three sophomores, the Fillies are hoping to blast their competition in the Columbia Basin Conference eastern division. The girls, coached by Rebecca Randall, will battle with Oregon Trail, Umatilla, Weston-McEwen, and Pilot Rock in the east division. In the west, Sherman County is the favorite against Riverside, Wasco County and Condon. Randall told the Heppner-Morrow County Chamber of Commerce Monday that the team had a "lot of potential. We're tall and quick," she said, "and can shoot. We could be district champs real easy." Optimistically. Randall does look at a roster filled with good average height, but nobody with exceptional size. Wendy Meyers, a basketball enthusiast, is the tallest girl in the squad. She is a 5-7 sophomore. According to Randall, it will be hard to keep her out of the starting line-up. Five girls measure at S-6, including two of the five seniors. Darla Cooper, most valuable player in volleyball, and Deb Holland, both stand 5 Other seniors include Vicki Edmundson, a sharp shooter at $-4; Guy Kenny, good outside shot at 5-5; and Teresa Peck, a hustling learner at $-4. Janice Healy represents the junior height at 5-. followed by Diane Holland and Lori Rhea at 5 5 and Shelley Thompson Kegler's Korner Kmiua Corporation moved into the league lead in Thursday night ladies' action at Fiesta Bowl in Heppner.

Myers leads a tall sophomore unit. Along with her, Jackie Mollahan is 5 5 and Maureen Healy, 5 6. Randall is a staunch believer in aggressiveness. She said that any "loose ball, we're gonna get." She listed, after one week of practice, Meyers, Kenny and Mollahan as three of the bent shots. "We're going to surprise a few this year." Randall said, noting that the Fillies could go with a man-to man defense more than last year. "We're quicker." Randall said, "and quickness is going to do it." The Fillies open their season with a clash at Boardinan against Riverside on Ivc. 2 There will also be a junior varsity ronter since 30 girls turned out for the hardwood court. lo) Lru r ! !
