After outdistancing the lone
Cardinals in a not-too-decisive
six-point victory Friday night,
the Heppner Mustangs came
on strong Saturday to beat
Helix 57-41 in the first road
trip of the season.
Mustang guards Dennis
Peck and Jim Parker opened
up the margin ot victory for
the Heppner team, with Peck
scoring 15 points and Parker
14. Heppner's scoring mach-,
ine opened up in the fourth
quarter, when the Mustangs
tallied 17 points while limiting
Helix to eight. At the end of the
third. Helix trailed by only
seven points.
Helix connected on only 14 of
51 field goal shots, with fouls
taking a toll on the Grizzlies
throughout the contest. Helix
scored only 1 1 points in each of
the first three quarters, and
was held to only eight in the
final period.
Mustangs scoring points in
addition to Peck and Parker
included Curtis Day with six;
Dale Holland, six; Darrell
Bigelow, five; Mike Stookey,
four; Scot Sherer, two; John
Bier, four; Rod Cole, one.
Stookey led the Mustangs in

racking up 18 of Heppner's 72
points. Peck was good for 12
points during that outing, with
Parker scoring 11 and Howard
Huddleston 12.

dominating figure at the
backboards, where he and
teammate Holland each
brought down 11 rebounds.

Ease in...
Becky Fulleton ranked 11th in the nation in barrel
racing --is competing in the National Rodeo Finals in
Oklahoma City this week on her horse, Sol.
The Cardinal Varsity
Basketball boys split games
this weekend with the Hep
pner Mustangs 66-72, and
triumphed over the Ukiah
Cougars 54-38.
Coach Del La Rue said of his
team, "We tried to touch a bit
of everything. Pretty much
the basics, man-to-man
defense, zone defense, and a
bit of shooting, but we only
had two days of practice."
Many of the lone roundballers
are members of the State
Class B champion football title
team.
"We weren't in real good
condition either, and that hurt
us. Being in condition for
football is really a lot different
than being in good basketball
condition. Basketball has a lot
of quick constant movement,"
said the lone coach.
The Cards spurted ahead in
the first quarter 13-12, but the
Mustangs came back to take
the lead going into the locker
room at half-time, 31-30.
"They outscored us one
point in the third quarter and
four points in the fourth
quarter," said Coach LaRue.
Even though the Cardinals
went down, Coach LaRue was
pleased with their style of
play. "We had four players in
double figures and that's
really good. The guys who
came off the bench kept us
(flceooccocoocooosccocsoo
going. I think that it was a real
overall team effort," said the
coach.
Top scorers for the Cards
were Dennis Stefani with 13,
Kevin McCabe with 12, Danny
McElligott with 12 and Robin
LaRue with 10. Heppner
showed the same kind of
versatility with four hitting
double figures. Mike Stookey
led the victors with 18,
followed by Dennis Peck and
Howard Huddleston with 12,
and Jim Parker with 11.
"The bench was vital for us.
Any time that the bench can
score 13 points for you it's real
good," said LaRue.
Was the coach discouraged
by the loss? "Losing by six to
a much larger school, when
you've had only two days of
practice is not discouraging at
all," he said.
The Cards shot 29 for 79 on
field goals to the Mustangs' 27
for 81, a 37 per cent showing to
a 33 per cent showing.
Freethrows is where the story
lies. "That's where we lost the
game," confided Coach
LaRue. The Cards were 8 for
20 for 40 per cent and the
Mustangs were 18 for 27 for 6
per cent.
"To win the game I think
your team should have to
shoot about a 70 per cent. We
just haven't had the time to
work much on it," said Coach
LaRue.
The Cards fared much
better against the Ukiah
Cougars, where they led
"from start tp finish" as lone
coach LaRue put it.
"We were in command all
the time," he said, "but it
would have been an entirely
different ball game if wa had
shot very well."
The half-time score saw the
Cards ahead 26-20.
"We changed our defense at
half-time because they were
just scoring too much on us,"
commented Coach LaRue.
The strategy obviously work
ed for the Redbirds, as they
outscored the opponent 28-18
in the second half.
"What was really nice about
both of the games was that the
people came off the bench and
scored. It's critical that they
can do that," emphasized
lone Coach Del LaRue. "Our
freethrows were a lot better
too," he pointed out.
The Cards shot 14 for 22
from the line amassing a 64
per cent average, to Ukiah's 6
for 13 for 46 per cent. The
Cards hit on 20 of 69 fieldgoals
for 29 per cent, compared with
16 for 48 and 33 per cent for
Ukiah.
Although the Cardinals scor
ing technique was a little rusty
in Saturday night's game,
they out-rebounded their op
ponents 36-25.
