August 30, 1979 :i".ii.iii..imii. 1 , "' $ -i 4- -, 'Violent' Drill Hard-hitting marked Thursday night's practice session ' of the Heppner Mustang football team readying themselves ii i. - , for a scrimmage Friday night at 6 p.m. at the high school practice field.

Heppner gridders to get test in scrimmage game Friday Players turning out for Heppner High School Football will see the first test of their playing abilities Friday night at 6 p.m. when a scrimmage game is held. Mustang Coach John Spor seen invites parents and football routers to turn out for the contest which will be played between team mem bers and could decide the coach's final picks for his starting lineup in the Sept. 7 game against Stanfield. Following the scrimmage is an ice cream social sponsored by the Booster's Club. Jerry Samples has assumed the post of president taking over duties formerly held by Robb Rush who has moved from Heppner to Eugene. About 40 players have been turning out for the morning and evening workout this week with 16 of those letter men a strong start for a team which won the Columbia Basin League Title and held its opponents to a 7 point average per game. Absent from this year's lineup will be Ron Young who suffered a shoulder separation last spring and Jon Strahm who has been benched because of his knees. Returning letterman Quar terback John Bier appears to have the edge for the quarter back job and according to Sporseen, has been working on his passing as well as his running game. The team averages about 180 lbs., a little larger than the previous year and with the aggressive defense seen in Thursday night's practice is expected to boost the team's strength this season. Slots to fill in the front line are at tackle and guard, Sporseen said. "I'm reasonable pleased with what I've seen so far," Sporseen said. A football book containing information about the players and Heppner's football pro gram states that in the opinion of the Heppner High School coaching staff, defense, ranks very high in importance. Offensively, the Mustangs are expected to rely more on a power type running game and a much improved passing attack. The team will also have a strong kicking game barring injuries. The outlook for 1979: "The Heppner coaches feel that Riverside and Weston McEwen will be the teams to beat. These two teams always seem to give Heppner a great deal of trouble." Asked what the team goal of this year's Mustangs was, Coach Sporseen said "a league championship." "We'll think about the district race after that." Seniors returning to the team are Joedy Marlatt, 185 lbs., 3 year letterman, all league linebacker and guard; Jim Parker, senior, 185 lbs., all-league linebacker and guard; Dale Holland, 200 lbs., tight and deep end (all league); -Steve Marlatt, 180 lbs., defense, tight end; Ron Schwarz, 185 lbs., defense; Larry Palmer, 150 lbs., defen sive back; Todd Sherer, defensive back; Chris Zita, defensive end; Ron Young, 175 lbs., DT; Perry Wilson, DT and Lee McCarl, defensive back. Heppner won the Columbia Basin conference in 1978 with an 8-1 mark, in 1977 was second with a 6-2 record and third in the conference in 1976. Junior Dale Holland was named to the All Star Team as an End in 1978 along with seniors Jim Parker and Joedy Marlatt and graduated senior Dennis Peck. Holland, Marlatt and Bryan Marlin and Jim Parker were also named to the All Star team. Coaching this year's team will be Sporseen, and his assistants, Dale Conklin and Les Payne.

This year will mark a change for Condon which has been playing U-man football and will face its lone oppo nents in 8 man football. However, the visitors have had 8-man football experience at the junior high level. The Cardinals are the state champions in 8-man football and out of 26 players turning out this year, 16 are returning lettermen. Included among the veterans says Coach Gordon Meyers are senior Quarterback Dennis Stefanie and the front line of Terry Starr, Glen Krebs, Jerry Rietmann and Robin La Rue. Offensively, the team likes to run the ball but Meyers says last year Stefanie was able to throw the ball about 35 per cent of the plays and will continue their capacity this year. Defensively, the front line has had almost three years of starting experience because when most of the seniors began playing as freshmen," Meyers needed them to fill holes created in the varsity lineup. amount of quickness. They play as a team and pull tbgether. We drill the idea of teamwork in their minds," the coach added. Fans who have never wit nessed 8-man football, says Meyers, will see "wide-open games with fewer people and more scoring." It was so exciting for local fans last year, that they saw the local high school outwit McLaren of Woodburn, Oregon. Meyers says Condon will be tough for the Cardinals.
