McCune Junior High in Pen
dleton. Greg Sweeney led
Heppner with 10 points fol

Holland, who tries to adapt
his coaching philosophy to fit
the type of players he has, said
this year's team is more of a
"finesse" group compared to
last year's "physical" team.
He said he relies on the good
ball handling abilities of some
of his players and tries to keep
the tempo of the games under
control.

"We got out of our offense,"

"We didn't screen out and go

their total of only 11 rebounds
in the first half.
"We shut down their guards
but their big men just tore us
up," Koffler said.

"One thing in particular is the
fact that practice sessions are
more physically and mentally
demanding. Instead of telling
the players what to do as they
go along, we try to get some
thing worked out in the early
practices and we expect them
to apply what they've learned
in the game situations."

Fillies kept their opponents
outside, forcing many of the
shots from low percentage
areas.
"We showed some definite
improvement over the pre
vious week," Payne said.
"And I think the girls will
continue to improve through
out the season as they get a
little more game time."
Mike Stookey broke loose:
for his best game of the yearl
as he scored 15 points and
grabbed nine rebounds. Rich

Koffler said he was pleased
with the play of Lionel Wood, a

who totaled nine points, four
rebounds and three assists in
just eight minutes of action.

An eight point first quarter
output by Darcy Rea got the
lady Cards off and running
and by the end of the first
period they had established a
16-4 lead. The second quarter
was a different story as the
Cards put only one point on the
board and Spray closed to

"It was a good game for us

Martha Doherty. "But after
we got the big lead we had a

After Rea left the game in
