The Gazette-Times, Heppner .Oregon, Thursday, September 14, 1978 FIVE T bleacher seats h- Ra.h .Football season is here again. The waiting and anticipation of what to expect from' a favorite team is now put to rest. The test has now begun. The test for the coaches is to teach desire, enthusiasm, and a winning football system. The test far players is to learn the system and pursue the goals of the system with maximum effort. And the test of the fan is to be supportive, enthusiastic and dedicated to his players and coaches but only if the coaches pass their test, and more importantly ,if the players pass their test. The Heppner Mustangs traveled to Pilot Rock Friday night to take on the rockets in the season opener. It appeared that Pilot Rock was in no hurry to start the Mustang attack. The game was delayed approxima'tely 30 minutes because the lights on one side of the field would not come on. Only after a service truck from the power company arrived could the game get under way The grass on the Rockets' field was freshly mown, but someone forgot to bale. There was quite a crop of cut grass on the playing surface. It looked like a ploy to slow down the Mustangs' stable fleet of ball cariers. Or perhaps the Rockets hoped that with the lights off and the game delayed a half hour that the Heppner contingent would go away. Such was not the case! Not at all. It was gratifying to see each class at Heppner represented on the team, and each class made contributions to the victory. Yes, even the freshman class, The fans'spirit at the game was not at an all-time high, but spirit is an infectious thing and it will grow. And it did, as the game progressed Heppner fans were treated to a fine exhibition of spirit by Hailey Olson, daughter of Doug and Debbie Olson. Hailey had come to the game to watch her uncle, Dennis, play football, but before it was over, she was putting on a show and dancing, leading cheers that soon spread the spirit through the stands. Hailey is of the stuff that puts a gleam in grandpa's eves. Heppner High School's rally squad had a tough time leading yells because the older fans are bashful and don't know the cheers. But hang in there, girls! You're doing a fine job and we will learn. The final score does not reflect the true nature of the game. First-game jitters canceled several excellent drives. It looked for a time in the fourth quarter that coach Sporseen had installed a new philsophy to use up time on the clock, called the 'first and 15' play. The mustangs marched down the field using this tactic and using up a lot of time, which turned out to be very helpful. (How about it, Quick Start? Is it really a play?) It was also evident that the heavy -hitters are not always the big guys. Bryan Marlin demonstrated this by driving and spinning for every possible inch when carrying the ball, and by hard, crisp jarring blocks that enabled his running mate Dennis Peck to do his thing. Defensive coaches must lay awake nights planning against the P & M duo. Jody Marlatt, Scott McEwen and Scott Groshen also demonsrated that heavy hitters don't have to be the biggest guys on the field. It was a fine effort that ended in a win for the Mustangs. The game showed the promise of a surperior running attack, with excitement every time Dennis Peck or Bryan Marlin touch the ball especially when they get the kind of help from their line that they got at Pilot Rock. Heppner 's defense looks like it is going to be downright stingy, bending at times by digging in when needed. They held the Rockets to a fizzle. Yes, it looks like the only test is for the fans. lone reunion draws scores of pre-40's grads to hometown By Eva Hamlett On Sunday, Sept. 3, the second high school reunion of classes 1932-1338, which this year included all students attending lone High School prior to 1940, was held in the American Legion Hall in lone.
