"Lots of little mistakes penalties, missed assignments added up to big problems and cost us the game," commented Heppner Head Coach John Sporseen. "Our defensive game was really quite good. There's not one kid who did a poor job defensively ...although our punt coverage was not good on their 39-yard ' runback that set up their touchdown." They just didn't make the mistakes that we did," Spor seen continued, adding that "we need to work some more on our offense." Statistically, Heppner's off ense did not look that bad.
