Seniors close HHS hoop careers
The Mustangs picked up
their third straight home win
Friday by coming from behind
to trip Oregon Trail 61-53, but
Saturday it was Heppner that
got bypassed as Riverside
stormed back in the second
half to take a 58-52 victory.
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

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.
