Honkers rout Cardinals
Homecoming brought the
frustrations of a year ago back
to lone as the Cards came up
with their poorest perform
ance of the year in losing to
Arlington 44-0.
lone was never really a
factor in the game after a
fumble on the first offensive
play led to a Honker touch
down four snaps later. The
Arlington offense tolled up 387
yards all on the ground
while holding the Cards to 38
yards rushing and about the
same passing.
Gari Gaustad was the lead
ing lone ball carrier totaling
42 vards on seven hauls
through the rain. Kevin Mc
Cabe was the only other Card
rusher in double figures,
picking up 16 yards in eight
attempts. McCabe's punting
was one of the few bright spots
in the game for lone.
The Cards were plagued
with ineffective blocking and
missed tackles throughout the
game. Gaustad was in on the
most stops with 35 devensive
points. McCabe followed with
22 points, Terry Starr had 17
and John Lindstrom was
credited with 15.
After taking their second
kickoff saddled with an eight
point deficit, a Dennis Stafani
to Robin LaRue to Gaustad
flea flicker gained eight yards
but the Cards were stopped
short of a first. McCabe
slammed a. punt to the
Arlington 13 where the Hon
kers started a 13-play drive on
the ground for their second
score.

'illies third in district
The Heppner Fillies closed
their 1977 volleyball season by
taking third place ' in the
District tournament last Sat
urday at Blue Mountain Com
munity College. The Fillies
started the day by losing to
Umatilla before coming back
to knock off Oregon Trail and
top Umatilla in a rematch. In
the final match to determine
the second place representa
tive to the state playoffs,
Heppner lost a close match to
Condon 11-15 and 15-17.
Coaches Sherri Brock and
Michelle Portman cited Laure
Harrison for her best perform
ance of the year. Maureen
Healy's spikes and Jackie
Mollahan's serves paced the
Heppner offense while a tight
teamdefensive effort was lead
by Healy, Mollahan and Ja
nice Healy who combined for
nine blocks.
Mollahan led all Filly scor
ers with 32 points and , was
followed by Janice Healy with
20 and Diane Holland with 18.
The Fillies brought a re
vamped strategy concerning
serving order and substitu
tions . into the . tournament
having first given it a success
ful test in a win over
Hermiston earlier in the week.
The change proved appropri
ate and the coaches credited
the players with a successful
volleyball campaign.
The team finished with a 5-3
league mark while the junior
varsity team finished at 4-6
and the C team wound up 6-4.

Following another long Mc
Cabe punt, Arlington drove
from their 20 to the Card
two-yard line before Gaustad
recovered a fumble as the half
ended.
Opening the second half, it .
took the Honkers only four
plays to add to their margin
30-zip.
The slippery playing field
took its toll on both teams as
Arlington recovered a Card

The fourth quarter was

Meyers,
like last
Standing on the sideline in
the steady downpour Friday
night as he watched his Cards
fold under a strong Arlington
Honker attack, Coach Gordon
Meyers had the feeling he'd
been there before. He hadn't
had the feeling that often this
year but Friday night was all
too reminiscent of last year's
disappointments.
"It was the worst game
we've played this year by
far," Meyers said. "It re
minded me a lot of last year,
the way they ran over us."
Arlington snapped 76 offen
sive plays to Ione's 33 and
picked up 11 first downs to the
Cards' four. lone was out
gained in yardage five to one
as Card defenders missed
numerous tackles and blocks.
"Part of the problem was
the size difference," Meyers
said, referring to the fact that
Honker lineman outweighed
the Cards by- 20 to 30 pounds
per man. "But I at least

Despite the loss, lone still
has a shot at a winning season
if they can get by Dufur in
their final game Saturday. A
win would put the Cards at
5-4 exactly where Meyers
thought they would finish
before the season started.
"At the beginning of the
year I said we could go 5-4,"
Meyers said. "But when we
were 4-1 1 was thinking a little
different."
The Cards don't have a
winning season in the bag yet
even though Dufur stands at
0-4 in league play.
"They're not in the same
class as Arlington and Culver,
but if we don't play better than
we did last week, we won't
win," Meyers said. "I don't
have any answers for what
happened last week and I sure
wish I had some."
