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

"We played excellent de
fense and were really thinking
on offense," Brock said.
"Towards the end we started
to get a little shaky, with the
game as close as it was."
Lori Rhea led the Fillies
with 11 points including a
couple of good driving buckets
early in the game. Maureen
Healy added seven points and
collected 13 rebounds- Healy
was also credited with 11
possessions gained in the
contest. Wendy Myers and
Geri Grieb both tossed in four
points and Myers pulled down
eight rebounds.
As a team, the Fillies shot 35
per cent from the floor and
were six of 19 from the free
throw line. Heppner came up
with 17 steals and turned the
ball over 22 times.
The Fillies, who have repea
tedly come up on the short end
of close ballgames, now stand
4-5 on the year and 0-1 in the
Columbia Basin Conference,
and are hoping that their luck
is about to change.

The same thing happened a

Mustang coach Dale Hol
land said his team was
defensed well by the Tiger
Scots who boxed out to keep
Heppner out of rebounding
position.
"We broke down defensively
in the second quarter," Hol
land said. "We didn't get back
well when they ran on us and
we couldn't go to the boards."
Tony Currin canned eight of 12
shots to total 16 points and
lead the Mustang scorers. Jim
Launer tossed in 11 to go with
his ten boards. Ken Stookey
sunk the Mustangs hopes of

by only three at intermission.
But in the third quarter, the
Rockets exploded for 20 points
while the Mustangs could
manage just eight. A final
period rally reduced the lead'
to eight points but it was too
little too late.
A big portion of Pilot Rock's
offense came from Jeff Laven
der, a 6'5" junior standout who
scored 25 points and pulled
some key offensive rebounds.
The Rockets also got a 16 point
performance from sophomore
Jim Post.
Bryan Marlin connected on
10 of 22 shots for 22 points to
lead the Mustangs. Dennis
Peck added 17 points and Ken
Grieb hit four of six shots for
eight points. As a team,
Heppner hit 43 per cent from
the field.
Rebounding for both teams
was about even with Jerry
Cutsforth collecting ten, Peck
eight and Dale Holland seven
to add to the Mustangs total of
43. 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. He credited
Cutsforth with a strong game
both defensively and on the
boards. Day also said Holland
did a fairly good job of
containing Lavender.
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.
Day said his team needs to
keep the game more under
control in order to play most
effectively.
The loss in the CBC opener
leaves the Mustangs with a 7-2
season record and 0-1 in
conference play.
