The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, Nov.2, 1978 SEVEN Face Arlington Friday Cards flood Cascade Locks 60-26 By Janet McElligott The lone football team was ready to roll Friday night against Cascade Locks, and roll it did right over the top of them. Within one minute and 12 seconds the Cardinal offense had racked up 16 points, which was pretty fast considering the Cards had kicked off to the visitors at the start of the game. On the opening kickoff the Pirates fumbled and Shawn La Rue was soon upon the pigskin. Gregg Rietmann scored on a 15 yard run, the first Cardinal play. Dennis Stefani passed to Robin LaRue for two. The Cards kicked off again, only to see the Pirates lose the ball again, as Kevin McCabe caught it and ran 31 yards to score. Stefani con nected with Dan McElligott for two more. "I knew that we'd score quickly," said- lone Coach Gordon Meyers, "but not that fast. When our first team unit was in there, they really handled themselves well," said the Coach with pride. The Cards continued to score in their Homecoming victory, amassing 37 first quarter points in a season record breaking spree. Stefani passed 29 yards to Robin LaRue to add six, a followed by a 16 yard run by Gregg Rietmann, with Mc Cabe adding two more on the ground. McCabe followed once more with a 5 yard TD run with Stefani booting the ball for the conversion. The Cards were leading 37-0 at the start of the second quarter when a Pirate player exploded for 64 yards and TD. Soon afterward, the Pirates connected on a 14 yard pass and ran in the extra points. Robin LaRue returned the threat with a 42 yard touch down run. Halftime saw the Cardinals leading 43-14. Undaunted by the cold night air, the Cardinal players burst out of the locker room to score on a 41 yard McCabe run early in the second half. Stefani added the extra point. Deep in the third period, Stefani then retrieved a punt and dashed 55 yards to score. The lone quarterback then added the PAT for a 57-14 score. The Pirates then cash ed in on two more touchdowns for their final 26 points while the "golden toed" Stefani booted the pigskin through the standards from 27 yards out to end the Card scoring spree at 60. "I do wish we'd had a tougher game," admitted Meyers. "You always want a tough game before you go against the league's defending champions. In all fairness to Cascade Locks, they had a couple kids out ." The Cards will end regular season play against Arlington, thereat 1:30p.m. Friday. lone is 8-0 going into its last regular season game as are the Honkers. The game will de cide the league championship. Jill Robertson one of top ten cowgirls Arietta Aldrich is lone queen Highlighting Homecoming 1978 for Arietta Aldrich were halftime activities when the lone High School senior was crowned Queen. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Aldrich, Arietta is active in school functions including being editor of the yearbook. Serving on the Homecoming Court with Queen Arietta were senior princess Janet McEl ligot, junior princess Lori Edwrds, sophomore princess Tina Lindstrom and freshman princess Margaret Doherty. The halftime festivities cap ped a week -long agenda that included Kids Day on Monday, "Outer Space" Day on Tues day, freshman workday on Wednesday, movie star day on . Thursday and powderpuff football on Friday. The powderpuff football game was won by the junior senior team, 6-0 over the frosh-sophomore squad. Dan ny McElligot and Terry Starr coached the winners while Gregg Rietmann, Tim Key and Barney Rea gave the game's finer points to the losing team. The 8-minute quarters gave little time-for endless maneu vers but a load of talent unveiled for spectators, such as a punter who consistently missed the ball on the up swing, kickers who couldn't boot the ball the required 10 yards and quarterbacks with 100 per cent averages on incompletions. The winning touchdown was made by Martha McElligot who dashed across .the line for six. St-:-? M Jill Robertson of Heppner is one of the top 10 cowgirls competing in the State Championship Rodeo being held at Grants Pass on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is the first year that an Oregon Championship has been up for grabs. The Oregon Rodeo Association formed earlier this year and associa ted with rodeo events up and down the state. Points for each event of these associated rodeos were kept to determine the top ten cowboys and cowgirls in each event. The participants will per form each day of the Rodeo and try to accumulate as many points as possible. Jill will have the opportunity to accumulate three scores to try and gain the title of the event. With $6,000 in added money, the payday for successful participants should be rather good. - i 4 .
