To Helix
Must
angs fall twice
Heppner's scrappy Mus
tangs were dealt bad cards
this week, taking back-to-back
losses against a tough running
Helix Grizzly unit. Helix
bounced Heppner Friday in
Helix, 54-43 then came to
Heppner Tuesday for a win,
67-48.
Heppner trimmed a 34-19
halftime lead to five points
early in the third period
Tuesday but the Grizzlies
took advantage of rebound
power and Mustang turnovers
to build a 23 point lead before
the final buzzer.
A alow, first period start
haunted Heppner again. The
Mustangs, now 1-6. facing
league games in January,
dropped behind, 22 8 at the
end of the first period.
Heppner see-sawed with
Helix in the second stanza but
still added another point to
the deficit by intermission.
A quick rally, using a
scrambling defense, turned
the tide for the Mustangs
early into the second half.
Heppner shaved a 15 point
halftime edge to five at 39 34
but three turnovers in a row
gave Helix momentum that
was unstoppable.
Heppner outscored the
Grizzlies, 15-11 in the third
stanza to trail 45-34 but a
seven man scoring attack in
the fourth frame halted Hepp
ner come from behind hopes.
Heppner was 18 for 68 from
the field for 26 per cent while
Helix canned 28 of 67 tries for
41 per cent.
"We didn't come to play in
the first half," a dismayed
Chris Borgen, head Heppner
coach said following the game.
"We lacked enthusiasm and
intensity. We were forced to
play catch up basketball."
The catch up lasted only
few minutes into the third
quarter before Helix pounded
the boards and grabbed put
up shot after put up shot
under the net.
Helix out rebounded the
Mustangs, 50-30, setting up all
these buckets from inside the
key. The Grizzlies canned 16

Heppner's eighth grade girls
Frosh take
Sherman

freshmen built a 29-9 third
period lead, then rode out the

frosh, leading his squad to an
impressive 36-18 board edge.

emptied its bench. Heppner

stanza, 19 5. but their earlier
edge saved them.
