Although their record shows a 2-3 start, Heppner's Fillies
have impressive team stats that should aid them against
Pendleton Thursday and Pilot Rock Monday. Both Pendleton
and Pilot Rock are boasting winning seasons.
Heppner is averaging 45.4 points per game and holding
their opponents to 39.8. Wins of 55-21 and 61-28 is much of the
reason for the points versus record marks.
Heppner has dumped Umatilla 55-21, and Riverside 61-28.
They fell to Weston McEwen 48-36, and dropped a pair to
Dayville 46-36 and 52-46.
Weston-McEwen and Umatilla were league contests and
leave Heppner in third place in Columbia Basin East with a
1-1 mark. WM leads that race with a 3-0 mark, followed by
Pilot Rock at 2-1, Heppner, Umatilla, and Oregon Trail at 0-2.
In the west, Wasco County is a surprise at 2-0, followed by
pre-season favorite Sherman County at 1-1, Condon 1-2 and
Riverside 0-3.
In league stat sheets sent out last week, Maureen Healy is
topping the CBC rebounders with a three game average of 15.
Updated stats show the sophomore Healy to have 72 rebounds
and a 14.4 average.
Vickie Edmundson, according to three game league stats,
is the 11th best scorer with an average of 8.6. Five game,
updated stats drop that average to 7.2, scoring 36 points in
five games. Jackie Mollahan, rated 14th in the CBC charts
with a 6.7 average, has improved her shooting to a seven
point average over five games.
In team stats, Heppner is leading their opponents in the
following categories: assists, 32-14; field goals, 99-80; field
goal attempts, 329-319. In field goal percentage, Heppner is
hitting .300 per cent to .250 by foes.
In free throws, Heppner has canned 29 of 73 for .397 per cent
while opponents are 39 of 102 for .382 per cent. The Fillies are
outrebounding their foes, 259-119; Heppner has committed 96
fouls to 80 by opponents and has outscored their foes in five
games, 227-199.
Averaging stats, Heppner would do this to their average
opponent: outshoot them from the field, 19.8-16; slip at the
line, hitting 5.8 of 14.6 chances to 7.8 of 20.4 tries; Heppner
would outrebound their foes, 51-24, and according to stats,
should outscore their foes, 45.4 to 39.8.
Leading the team in total statistics is Maureen Healy. Miss
Healy, a 5-7 sophomore, has nine assists, is hitting .241 per
cent from the field with 14 for 58 shooting; is three for nine
from the line; has 72 rebounds in five games; has just three
fouls in five games; and has a 6.2 average, scoring 31 points.
The highest scorer is Edmundson with 36, followed by
Mollahan with 35, Maureen Healy with 31, Guy Kenny with
24, and Wendy Meyers at 22.
The top shooter is Mollahan with a .533 percentile. She has
canned 16 of 30 tries from the field, the highest field goal total
on the squad. Edmundson is tops from the line, hitting eight
of 11 for .727 per cent.

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

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

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

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.

half, falling back at intermis
sion, 31-25. In the third period,

final stanza, 19-13.

weekend when they face

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

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."

head coach Dave Lavender,
now athletic director. He is a
fine shooter, averaging 23
points a ball game.
Perrine is next, averaging
10 points; Barber and Heim
gartner are adding eight
apiece; Ward is averaging
seven and Connon, with just
two games under his belt, is
averaging five.
"No quickness," Lavender
says, but "we shoot the ball
well."
Pilot Rock is averaging 55
points a game and is holding
their opponents to 52.
Now the comparison. Hep
pner is allowing 64 points
against them, but only scoring
45 on the average. The Mus
tangs leading scorer, Mark
Huddleston, with 53 points,
has a 7.5 average.
Rebound-wise, Heppner is
holding their own. They are
being outreached 46-38 on the
average. Turnovers are evt n,
25 up.
Heppner's worst area is
shooting, where the Mustangs
are canning a lowly '6.8 per
cent, hitting 118 of 440 tries for
an average night of 17 for 62.
Heppner foes are getting
about six more shots off at the
