The Heppner Mustangs en tered regular league play on the right note this past weekend, beating Stanfield 60-53 on Friday and winning a neck-and-neck thriller against Riverside of Boardman on Saturday. Heppner controlled the game against Stanfield from start to finish, with Dennis Peck scoring nearly half of the Mustangs' points. Peck was credited with 28 points, sink ing 14 field goals in 19 attempts for a red-hot 73 per cent success rate. Mike Stookey and Dale Holland each brought down seven rebounds, and Howard Huddleston gathered in six. The Mustangs did not have one of their better shooting nights against Stanfield, sink ing only 37 per cent of their field goal attempts. From the bonus line, Heppner main tained a 47 per cent success rate. Huddleston was the only other Mustang to tally double figures, with 10 points to his credit. Stookey was good for seven, Holland scored six, Jim Parker had three and Curtis Day and John Bier each had two. Monte Ellis of Stanfield scored 28 points in the contest. Saturday's showdown with Riverside provided fans with more excitement, as the two Morrow County teams staged a nip-and-tuck battle that was not resolved until the final seconds of the game. The Mustangs played better team ball than the Pirates, with the Heppner defensive effort shining particularly bright. "We played a lot of helping type defense," commented Coach Tom Day. "Riverside started out really hot, but then our defense put' on ' the pressure and forced them to take shots that they wouldn't ordinarily take." . The shooting game for the two teams couldn't have been more evenly matched. Both teams sank 23 field goals, taking the identical number of attempts to maintain 35 per cent success rates. Penalties, as it turned out, made the winning difference for Heppner. The Mustangs were charged with 14 fouls to 23 for Riverside. Heppner converted two out of three trips to the bonus line into points. More than half of the Pirates' fouls were made during the final quarter, giving the Mustangs 16 free ' -!. it.. n 1- r i uuca uf rupuiui uoiiiuiim THE for Your OEIOMS Lisunin91 Dancing Pleasure Saturday Jan. 13 9-2 Graciout service from our cocktail waitress ,a: orning Breakfast Prepared By An Experienced Young Cook From San Diego and Served By His Lovely Wife!

The Pirates held a 33-32 lead at halftime, trailed by four at the end of the third quarter, and came back to lead 56-55 with just over two minutes showing on the clock in the final frame. But the last-minute Pirate effort failed to rattle the Mustangs, who refused to make mistakes and continued to control the ball, managing to draw Riverside fouls in the process. Peck was once more the game's top scorer, with 24 points. Stookey scored 17, followed by Marlin with nine; Jim Parker and Lionel Wood, each with six; and Dale Holland with four. Holland was the game's top rebounder with 12, followed by Stookey with 11 and Marlin with six. Sam Griffith led the scoring for Riverside, tallying 18 points, followed by Luke Maynard with 15. The wins made Heppner 2-0 in league play. But the Mustangs have their work cut out for them this weekend, when they face the defending CBC champion Pilot Rock team on Friday, then host Weston-McEwen on Saturday. Weston-McEwen lost by only Bryan Marlin goes up for two of nine points he scored during Saturday's home game against Riverside. The nip and tuck showdown between the two Morrow County teams was not decided until the closing seconds, making the icy trip to the high school gym well worth the hassle for area basketball fans. one point to the Rockets last Heppner 17 32 53 60 Heppner 17 32 46 66 weekend.
