for Fillies
The Heppner Fillies put in
their best performance of the
year against archrival Pilot
Rock, but their showing was
not good enough to wrest the
CBC girls' basketball crown
from the perennial league
leaders.
Pilot Rock beat the Fillies
by a 47-57 margin last Friday
night to retain the Columbia
Basin championship and ad
vance to regional playoff
action.
The Fillies earned the right
to challenge the Rocket girls
by handing Wasco County a
38-32 loss on Thursday night,
moving them into the finals.
Scoring between the Red
sides and the Fillies seldom
ventured beyond a four-point
margin, with heppner slightly
in the lead most of the dis
tance. The Heppner girls
connected on 18 of their 48
field goal attempts, with
Wendy Myers who really
carved a name for herself in
tourney play leading the way
with 10.
But it was the Fillies'
defensive effort that may have
made the winning difference
in the contest. With less than
five minutes remaining, the
Redsides took a two point
advantage. Myers wasted lit
tle time in bringing the contest
back to a tie, sinking a long
outsider. As the clock ticked
past the three minute mark,
Jackie Mollahan stole the ball
from a Wasco girl, and
converted it into a two point
Heppner lead.
From that point on, the
Fillies allowed Wasco County
only one more basket, while
Geri Grieb, Jana Steagall and
Lynn Dee Devin scored buck
ets for Heppner to ice the
game.
All totaled, Jackie Mollahan
picked up eight points for the
Fillies while Maureen Healy,
Geri Grieb and Jana Steagall
each made six.
The Fillies dominated at the
boards as well, with Healy
bringing down 13 rebounds,
followed by Mollahan with
eight and Myers with seven.
Heppner also took the lead
in the fouling department,
drawing 16 penalties to nine
for the Redsides. Healy and
Myers each were credited

with four assists, and the
Fillies as a team were the
victims of 12 turnovers, while
handing 16 to the Redsides.
The win against Wasco
County after losing to the
Redsides in the final week of
regular season play made
the prospects for a dark horse
victory over Pilot Rock all the
more promising. Especially
since the lady Rockets man
aged to escape from an upset
defeat at the hands of Wah
tonka by only two points
during the opening game of
the district tourney on Thurs
day. ,
The Fillies put in an inspired
performance against the
Rockets, staying within reach
during nearly the entire
course of the game and
threatening on several occas
ions. Perhaps the most in
spired Filly was Wendy
Myers, who tallied her best
game of the year, pumping in
17 points and bringing down
six rebounds.
The Heppner girls connect
ed on 15 of 55 field goal tries,
while Pilot Rock sank an
identical amount in 35 tries.
The difference in score was
made at the free throw line,
where the Fillies sank 19 of 27
bonus attempts for a highly
respectable 66 per cent aver
age. However, the Rockets
drew more fouls and had more
chances at the line, where
they connected on an even
more respectable 27 but of 39.
Also scoring in double
figures for the Fillies was
Mary Kincaid with 13 points,
followed by Maureen healy
with nine, Jackie Mollahan
with six and Geri Grieb with
two.
Janny Weinke of the -Rockets
was the game's top point
winner with 18.
"The girls played a real
good game," commented
Coach Sheri Brock. "The best
game they've played against
Pilot Rock this year."
At the end of the contest, the
list of Columbia Basin Confer
ence girls' all-star selections
were announced. Named to
the CBC first-team All-Stars
was Maureen Healy, with
Jackie Mollahan receiving a
second-team position.

The three season-ending

49 field goal attempts, with
Dorian Farrar taking high
point honors with 15. Two
other freshman scored in

overcoming a series of ob

qualify for the district meet
the Cards beat third-ranked
