SIX The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday January 11, 1979
Card teams split wins with
Echo and Arlington
The lone roundballers, both
boys and girls, split wins this
last weekend.
The varsity boys showed the
Echo Cougars how to really
play ball Friday night. The
Cards outlasted the late fourth
quarter surge by the Cougars
to take the victory 56-51. Even
though the Redbirds were
out-heighted (Echo boasts of
three players over six feet,
while lone has none), they
out-rebounded their opponents
by three.
"We just got our fast break
going, got good checks, and
played real well," said lone
Coach Del LaRue. "We had a
real team effort," he added,
"everybody played good for
us."
Kevin McCabe scored 11 to
lead the Cards victory, follow
ed close by Robin LaRue with
10, Gregg Rietmann with 9,
and Dan McElligott, 8. Terry
Starr and John Lindstrom
each added 4; Glen Krebs, 2;
Shawn LaRue, 2. Larry Hole
man of the Cougars led all
scorers with 24.
Saturday night, the Cards
didn't fare as well. The game
started out perfect, as the
Cards barreled onto the floor
and scored 18 first-quarter
points, about the best they've
done all year. But after that it
looked like a totally different
team.
"The bottom dropped out of
everything," said Coach
LaRue. "We just stopped
doing anything. We didn't
rebound real well either," said
the coach. Kevin McCabe was
the only one who even reached
double figures there, with 10.
He was also the high point
scorer with 16. Danny
McElligott followed him with
8, all made in that run-and gun
first quarter. Robin LaRue
and Shawn LaRue both put in 4
points, Gregg Rietmann 2 and
John Lindstrom one.
Jim Bailey, for Arlington
had 16 to lead his team.
lone girls coach, Martha
Doherty, said of their weekend
play, that "Friday night we
just weren't ready to play.
Saturday we wanted to win.
There was a lot of difference
in the play."
The girls dropped their
league opener to Echo 21-39.
Martha McElligott had 5
steals for the Cards, while
Janet McElligott grabbed 9
caroms in the loss.
By Janet McElligott
"Their third quarter press
just killed us," she said. "We
really didn't know what to
do."
Michelle, LaRue and
McElligott were the high
scorers for the Redbirds with 6
each followed by Martha and
Janet McElligott each with 5.
Anita Palmer added 4 and
Margaret Doherty 2. Stacey
Snow led all scorers with 11.
Lady Luck smiled at the
Cards Saturday as they man
aged to pull their 32-29 victory
just in time, in a thrilling
overtime contest against
Arlington.
Behind most of the game,
the lone girls managed to
come through in the final
minutes of the ball game,
holding the Honkers to no
points in overtime, while
scoring three themselves.
"We did a lot better," said
Coach Doherty. "I think that
the critical point was in the
turnovers. We had 19 to their
34. They outrebounded us, and
are much taller, but they lost
the ball too many times."
Michelle LaRue led the lone
scorers with 10 followed by
Janet McElligott who had 9.
Michelle McElligott had 5,
Lori Edwards 4, and Martha
McElligott and Tammy Holtz
each with 2. Teresa Bailey, for
Arlington had 18 rebounds and
11 points.

JV boys will play the River

Kevin McCabe demonstrates his high jumping ability,
thrusting-his five-foot, nine inch frame to dunking elevation

Heppner Junior High boys'
basketball teams had no
trouble when they met Condon
Saturday afternoon. The
eighth graders outplayed the
Demons 38-12 to
Heppner frosh
drop one to
Pilot Rock
Despite strong performan
ces by Dorian Forrar and
Robert Bier, Heppner's fresh
man basketball team lost 42-53
to Pilot Rock's frosh squad on
a Monday road trip.
"We were close most of the
ball game," said Coach Dale
Holland, "but we just didn't
get up enough shots. We were
19 for 43 for 44 per cent."
Pilot Rock maintained a 44
per cent average also, but
managed to get off 52 shots to
make the winning difference.
The Rockets pressed the
frosh Mustangs the entire
game, and played zone de
fense as well. "We played
poorly at times," confessed
Coach Holland.
But the game did have its
bright points. "Dorian Forrar
got 12 rebounds, 14 points and
played very well, as did Bier,"
Holland noted.
Following Forrar in scoring
were Don Lott and John
Murray, each with nine, Doug
Holland with six, and Bier
with four. Tom Corstens of
Pilot Rock was the game's
leading scorer with 28 points.
The Pilot Rock contest was
the first loss for the Heppner
freshmen, who now have a 4-1
record. The meet Weston-Mc-Ewen
today, and face Herm
iston on Monday.
even their season record at
"It was a very sloppy
game," said coach Jim
Ackley. "Condon was very
weak. We need a lot more
work, and we need to under
stand the offense. It would
certainly help to know which
kids want to play bad enough
to stay eligible. The team
attitude needs to become more
mature. When our heads and
our bodies get together, we
should have a pretty good
season," he said.
High point earners for the
Ponies were Mike Currin with
12; Greg Connors and Jeff
Orr, each with six; Marty
Britt, four; Andy Samples,
three; Matt Barnes and Tom
Huston, two each, and Jay
Keithley with one.
Heppner's seventh graders
also handled the Demons
easily, posting a 48-8 win. "I'm
very pleased with the seventh
grade team so far," comment
ed Coach Mark Carnathan.
"They have shown maturity
and enthusiasm over the past
few weeks. I'm pleased that
, we won our last game, but if
we had lost, I would have been
just as pleased, due to our
hustle. We ran our offense
according to our philosophy,
and that was the main reason
we put so many points on the
board. We showed our ability
to play hard, pressing
defense," Coach Carnathan
said.
High scorers for the seventh
grade game were Eric
Thompson with 12, and Greg
Orr with 10. Other point
scorers were Rod Cole and
Dan Fortenberry each with
six; Archie Lucas and Cord
Adams, four each; Kevin
Robarge, Mark Way and
Kevin Kennison with two
apiece.
