TEN The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, October 5, 1978 The Heppner GAZETTE-TIMES BLEACHER SEATS ( n ii.il ituuu it null Three-and-one, and just another face in the crowd. Number 1 It is too bad the Mustang offensive line didn't show up for the game until the fourth quarter. Number 2 It is too bad we missed the extra point. Number 3 It is too bad we fumbled the ball during the Kansas Plan tiebreaker. It is difficult to pin down the reason for losing a football game. It is hardly ever one single play, so we can rule out numbers two and three. Item number one tells the story. As a matter of fact, but for a couple exceptions, the Mustang bench didn't seem aware there was a game going until the fourth quarter. The Mustang offense wasted three quarters of the football game, which put the spotlight on the missed kick and fumble. A. similar performance against Sherman County, and the Mustangs can just about kiss the CBC championship good-bye. Now for the good news. The Mustang defense played their usual tough ball game, keeping the game in reach against a quick, enthused Tiger-Scot team. Dale Holland played a very steady game, reminding me a little of a young Ted Hendricks. What do they call Hendricks? A "mad" something. I believe it fits in the zoo. Steve Marlatt is becoming a force to be reckoned with. Steve is hitting harder and pursuing better each week. I wonder what goes on when he and brother Joedy have a dispute? I bet a good promoter could sell tickets for ringside seats. (Do you suppose a popcorn vendor could make any money? Maybe a band-aid concession would be better.) Another player is starting to emerge in the defensive backfield. Lionel Wood intercepted another pass Friday night, making it one each game. Lionel doesn't stand out so much for hard hitting as he does for consistantly being in the right place at the right time. The fans get an A- this week. What an effort! Fighting and braving the onslaught of deer hunting traffic to drive to Athena. It is good to see that a number of Heppner sideliners who made the trip are not parents of players. When these people make a trip like that, it means they are dyed-in-the-wool fans. (This doesn't mean the parents aren't true fans, but they do have a special interest.) The traveling fans are an enthusiastic lot, and vocal. Too bad it doesn't rub off on the home crowd. The lone Cardinals continue their winning ways by downing Mount Vernon 40-8. I bet that after the last two games, the "stat" people have had to start working out with the team. In the last two games the "Run and Gun Cards" have scored 92 points. That means a lot of running up and down the sidelines for the statisticians. They probably never thought they would have to get in shape just to keep records. BMCC to host Oct. 8 benefit roping event Fillies near top of V-ball league race ... I 1 t The Heppner Fillies moved to within one game of first place in league volleyball standings last week, after posting wins over Sherman County and lone. Heppner beat Sherman 15-13 and 15-11 during the varsity contest with Jackie Mollohan racking up 13 points to become the Fillies' top server of the game. In Jayvee action agianst Sherman, Heppner took three games to. win, scoring 15-9, 12-15 and 15-3. Sherman's C team outdistanced Heppner 15-1, 4-15 and 15-12. In action against lone on Thursday, the varsity Fillies shut out the lady Cards 15-0 in the first game, and put the match away in the second game by a narrower 15-10, margin. Carol Cheney, with six points was high server for lone, followed by Michelle McElligott with two. "I think we played better in the first match than what the score shows," commented lone Coach Barb Stefani. "We just couldn't serve well." In the second game of the match, "we got our serves over much better, set them up and spiked 'em," Coach Stefani noted. Heppner's Jayvee squad came from behind to nip their Cardinal adversaries 11-15, 15-10 and 15-9. The C team was also victorious over lone, winning in two games by a 15-5 and 15-10 margin.
