Fillies9 hot streak expands
with Stanfield, RHS wins
The Heppner Fillies contin
ued to ride a season -long
winning streak over the week
end, trampling Stanfield 53-17
and Riverside 58-10.
The weekend wins made the
Heppner girls 2-0 in league

the scores indicate, the Fillies
controlled both games from
opening whistle to closing

followed by Alice Abrams with
six.
The Fillies connected on 22
of 55 field goal attempts,
while Stanfield got off only 25
shots, sinking five.
Saturday's game against
Riverside was an even more
decisive victory for the Fillies.
The Heppner girls' defensive
effort was overwhelming, with
the Fillies making a whopping
52 steals and allowing River
side only one field goal during
the course of the game.
Heppner sank 26 of 67 field
goal attempts, with two Fil
lies, Geri Grieb and Maureen
Healy, scoring in double
figures. Grieb sank 12 points,

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

Riverside.
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.
