T The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, January 12, 1978 SEVEN Rockets sink Fillies by 4 The shooting touch of the Fillies hit the skids again in the fourth quarter, allowing Pilot Rock to ease past Heppner 34-30 in the confer ence opener Friday at Hepp ner. "It seemed like an instant replay of the last four games," said Filly coach Sherri Brock. The Fillies have had a hard time surviving the final period lately as they have held leads going into the fourth quarter only to see them disappear'by slim margins. Against Pilot Rock, the Fillies took a two point edge after three quar ters but added only four points to their total while the Rockets closed out with 10 points. Heppner started the game at a disadvantage since three players Cindy Kerr, Jackie Mollahan and Janice Healy were all out of action. Brock said the team played well under the circumstances es pecially early in the game. Heppner was down by three after the opening quarter but came back to lead by two at Lori Rhea dishes off a pass to a loss to Pilot Rock. Rhea scored f '- ' .- t I I- I CM intermission.

Pilot Rock picked up 12 points at the foul line on 20 attempts while Heppner mis sed nine of 14 free throws. Mustang coach Tom Day said the eight point output in the third quarter hurt in the game but added that the team played well in both the first and last periods.

The pace of the game stepped up in the second half when Heppner was forced out of its patterned offense and had to run with the Rockets.
