If We are nappy to welcome p 0 Fo) o, LfU : If If team statistics tell the complete story and those stats aren't subject to change, then Heppner's Mustangs are in for trouble this weekend. But Chris Borgen and his band of Kamikaze Kids figure that's a big "if." They re member the Cardiac Kids from the grid iron and want to take that spirit to the hard wood Friday at Pilot Rock. Heppner will muscle up to the Rockets Friday, one of two teams favored to win the Columbia Basin Conference East and perhaps the whole darn thing. Figuring into Pilot Rock dreams has to be Weston-McEwen, the other favorite. While Heppner's best hopes are still unveiled, they are looking back on a dismal pre-season that mustered a 1-6 record. The Mustangs thumped Con don in one of two games with the Gilliam County rivals. The ICards drop Ukiah, Mitchell K Ione's Cardinals dropped a pair of contests last week, despite a 29 point effort from freshman guard Dennis Mef- The Cards fell to Mitchell last week, 59-47, and dropped a 40-34 tilt to Ukiah Tuesday night. "We had fantastic shots," lone Coach Del La Rue said after the game Tuesday. "I went home and looked at the shot chart and cried. I counted ; two bad shots all night." But they wouldn 't drop. lone hit 24 per cent, canning 16 of 68 while Ukiah hit 19 of 58. The Cards outrebounded Ukiah, 51-31. lone stayed even in the first period, before tailing at half time, 23-18. Ukiah picked up one more point in the second half, outscoring lone, 17-16. Stefani, hitting from the outside, had 14 points, fol lowed by Kevin McCabe with eight, Robin La Rue six, Danny McEUigott four and Scott Sherer two. Mabbott paced Ukiah with 18 points while Gilliland had ;nine. I lone put three men in double i figures last week, but the Keys brothers of Mitchell combined for 40 points to lead the triumph. Stefani had 15, Kevin Mc Cabe 11 and McEUigott 10 as lone hit 19 of 68 tries for 28 per cent from the field. At the line, lone was nine for 15. Jim Keyes had 27 and broth er Pat added 13. Mitchell outshot lone, canning 28 of 57 tries for 49 per cent. Mitchell outrebounded lone, 53-30, setting up inside shots. Stefani had 12 of his points in the first half, but a third period box and one by Mitchell slowed his style. lone stayed close in the first half, falling back at intermis sion, 31-25. In the third period, the box and one stopped the Cards with three points and gave Mitchell a 46-28 edge, lone outscored Mitchell in the final stanza, 19-13. lone is dormant until next weekend when they face Umapine and Condon. other losses came at the hands of Grant Union, a strong AA team; Gilchrist, a strong A team; and Helix, a tough, running B school. Whoever the opponents were, Heppner still faces that record. If stats prove right, IOOOOOOOOO Pilot Rock Friday, 8 Madras here ,0 Saturday, 8 ,,-u,. ooooooooo that record won't be changing for the better this week. Pilot Rock is a tough, yet inexperienced outfit. They have compiled a 4-3 pre-season record against some fine ball clubs. But, if you can call it that, they are in somewhat of a slump. The Rockets have fallen in their last two encounters, most recently to Dayton, Wash., 46-43 and the game before that to Enterprise, 79-69. Both those contests were on the road and Pilot Rock had already listed them as wins on their home court earlier this year. PR has fallen to Enterprise, Dayton and Sacred Heart. They've knocked off Colum bia, Glendale, Enterprise and Dayton. Friday night, the PR roster will be made up from inex perienced ball players. Only one letterman, senior Marty Perrine, returns to the club. Along with Perrine, PR will choose from Dave Connor, Will Barber, Curtis Wood, Jeff Lavender and Jerry Heim gartner for their starting five. Sixth and seventh subs will be Robert Post, Denny Christian son or Richard Christianson. On the boards, Ward is 6-4 and the top rebounder. After that, Heimgartner is 6-3, Per rine, a good jumper, is 5-10, and Lavender is 6-3. Lavender is a big key in the Rocket success story. He is a sophomore, son of former Ik hoop and on the average are making about eight more at 25 for 68. From the line, the Mustangs are hitting 61 per cent, aver aging 12 for 19. Their foes are slightly poorer from the line, hitting 13 of 24 for 55 per cent from the gift toss stripe. While Huddleston leads the squad with a 7.5 average, three others are over the five point night. Kenny Grieb is averaging 6.1, and Brian Marlin and Wayne Seitz are at 5.4. Though the stats don't face the two teams off too evenly, Borgen thinks the time is ' right. "We're ready for it," he said. "We've been playing in streaks. I think that was mostly because of a lack of concentration and intensity. We're ready to put it together for a full game." Borgen said the shots are falling in practice. "We've had some good, excellent practices. We're gaining con fidence in our shooting." A pattern change in the offense has also tied up some loose ends, Borgen said. Heppner, 1-6, faces pre-season favorite Pilot Rock on the Rocket home floor Friday at 8 p.m. "It'll be a tough opener," Borgen admits, but "we're' ready for it." j beauticians.
