league leaders
HHS drops Stanfield
It's do or die for the
Mustangs this weekend, when
the Heppner hoopsters must
beat Pilot Rock and Weston
McEwen number one and
number two in the CBC
Eastern Division in order to
keep hopes alive for a divi
sional title win.
The 4-5 Mustangs kept their
district playoff possibilities
when they edged Stanfield by
four field goals to post a 61-53
win.
Both the Tigers and the
Mustangs made 28 trips to the
free throw line, and both
teams connected on 15 of the
bonus shots. "The difference
was field goals," said Coach
Tom Day, "We had 23 and
they had 19."
Although the quarter scores
made it appear that Stanfield
was out of reach of the lead
throughout the game, the
Tigers did in fact threaten at
several points. In the fourth
quarter, they closed to within
five points after trailing by as
much as 22.
Day praised the efforts of
juniors Dale Holland and Curt
Day, who tied for the Mus
Eleven Heppner Fillies
scored points four of them in
double figures to overpower
Stanfield by gaping margin
of 89-13 on Friday.
The Heppner girls maintain
ed a red hot 65 per cent
shooting average in the first
half, cooling only slightly in
the second half to post a field
goal success rate of just under
50 per cent for the game.
At the top of the scoring
stats was Mary Kincaid with
16, followed closely by Lindy
Devin with 15, Maureen Healy
with 13 and Geri Grieb with 1 1 .

ball squad boosted its season
record to 5-2, after posting
wins over Heppner and Stan
field. Iorie trailed 20-17 at the end
of the first half, and remained
in a seesawing scoring duel
with the Ponies until the final
quarter, when the Ionians
pulled ahead to make the final
score 40-36.

junior Cardinals was Denny

Roger Morter with nine, Don
Taylor with seven, Craig
Gutierrez with six and Tim
