Playing on their home court for the final time this season, Hepper started an all-senior lineup of Jerry Cutsforth, Ken Grieb, Gordon Hoffnagle, Sam Myers and Mark Huddleston. Coach Tom Day stuck with his senior squad for the entire first quarter and watched as they struggled through a two-for-15 shooting drought. The Mustangs picked up the pace in the second quarter, hitting six of 21 shots to cut the nine point deficit to a single point at intermission. Picking up where they left off, the 'Stangs forged ahead in the second half while launching 22 shots in both the third and fourth periods and finding the range on 16. For the game, Heppner hit 24 of 79 shots for 30 per cent and nailed 13 of 23 free throw attempts. Dennis Peck and Howard Huddleston both hit 14 points to lead the Mustangs while Bryan Marlin and Cutsforth both added seven. Cutsforth also pulled nine rebounds, Dale Holland grabbed a dozen and Jim Parker and Howard Huddleston each had six to help the Mustangs take a 47 to 30 advantage. By controlling the boards, Heppner was able to get its fast Lreak in gear for several key buckets in second half. "We ran the break when we got it and put the ball up a lot," said Day. "We didn't try to force anything but we played with more intensity than we have for a while." The following night at Riv erside, the Mustangs forgot to bring their intensity with them as they had the Pirates on the ropes but were unable to put them away. "We had them by 10 points in the second quarter but we went flat and let them come , back," Day said. After a fairly even first period, the Mustangs streaked to the ten point bulge but Riverside whittled away at the lead and trailed by just three at the half. In the third period, Heppner hit only four of 13 shots from the floor as the Pirates jumped on top to stay. Both teams ended the game with 21 field goals although it took Heppner 58 shots to get theirs while Riverside shot 48 times, It's hard to say the Mustangs lost the game at the foul line since they picked up 10 points on 13 attempts. Bryan Marlin was the high point man in the Mustangs final box score of the year, hitting 14 points. Dennis Peck added 13, including eight in the first quarter, Ken Grieb had eight, Dale Holland seven, both Howard and Mark Hud dleston four and Jim Parker two. Holland again totaled 12 rebounds, Jerry Cutsforth had Marty Smith named to Shrine grid squad Marty Smith, a 6'5" 255 pound tackled from Heppner, was one of six Columbia Basin Conference players selected to play in this year's Shrine Classic Football game.

Darce Rea round ed out the Card scoring with two points. "The game was fairly even in most areas but we just didn't move well with or without the ball," said Card coach Martha Doherty. With two games against Helix remaining, the lady Cards still lead their half of the Big Sky Conference with a 3-1 mark. Arlington follows at 3-2 and Helix stands at 0-3.
