The Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, September 27, 197 NINE Heppner Mustang gridders beat Tiger Scots 21-7 J Heppner established itself M 1 1.1 L'L 1 1 I IC lllgll OlIUUl lUUiUclll I foam fs Koot in tUn nli.mUln Basin Conference with a 21-7 win over the previously un beaten Weston-McEwen team. The Mustangs, 3-0, will try to hold their league-leading position tomorrow night when they travel to Sherman, 1-2. Sherman is one of the weaker teams in the confer ence and the Mustangs have to be sure they don't let down because there is always the chance of an upset, especially since Sherman has the home field advantage. Sherman was beaten soundly last week by River side 33-7. The Mustangs beat Riverside earlier this year rather easily. Sherman is led by their quarterback Kase berg, who last week threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Beers. Anytime Heppner plays a team that likes to throw, anything can happen and is usually does. The Sherman running game, against Riverside, was dismal as they had minus 49 yards rushing. PREDICTION: Despite the home field advantage, Sher man does not have any other advantage and it should be an easy win for Heppner. Hepp ner could possibly score everytime it has the ball but the score should be in the neighborhood of HEPPNER 42, Sherman-7. The opportunistic Heppner team is flying high after last week's win over Weston-McEwen. Heppner took it to the Tiger-Scots early in the game offensively and the Mustang defense bent but did not break as they made the big plays when they needed it most. Heppner took the opening Jim Rice, (82), intimidated by Doug Holland (49) and Todd Sherer (85), drops a pass from Ken Devereaux. Riverside Pirates stomp Sherman The Riverside Pirates evened their record at 1-1 with a 33-7 romp over Sherman. Lerry Wilson ws the leading lusher in the game with 180 yards on just 19 carries. Wilson scored two touchdowns on three-yard runs. Gary Gordiner scored on a two-yard run and a three-yard run and had a total of 69 yards rushing and one interception on defense. McKenzie scored River side's other touchdown on a 20-yard run. The Riverside defense was awesome as they held Sher man to minus 49 yards rusning.

The big surprise of the drve as a halfback option pass from John Murray to Rick Cole. The pass was hardly picture perfect but it got there and Cole made a spectacular leaping catch be tween two defenders to haul it in. Murray later scored the touchdown on a three-yard run and Jim Parker booted the extra point and Heppner was ahead to stay 7-0. Weston-McEwen fumbled the ball on its first possession after the kick-off and Dale Holland recovered it for Heppner and ran 11 yards to the four-yard line. Heppner later scored on a one-yard run by Murray and with Parker's boot, Heppner led 14-0. The Tiger-Scots moved the ball well against the tough Heppner defense but the Mustangs consistently came up with the big defensive play. Weston-McEwen had a good drive going in the first quarter when Doug Holland sacked quarterback Ken Devereaux on fourth down to stall, the threat. Later in the quarter Hepp ner punted the ball to the Tiger-Scots, who then fum bled, and Heppner recovered the football. An interception stalled another Tiger-Scot threat in the first half. In all, Weston-McEwen committed lone Cardinals remain unbeaten By Duane Fetsch and Teena Lindstrom lone Cardinal's football team still undefeated after their third game, kept their record intact by defeating Long Creek, Sept. 21 at lone, by the score of 44-10. Cardinal coach Gordon Meyers said "The toughest thing in a game like that is to keep from over -scoring. They have a young team with a lot of freshmen, and not a lot of experience. Those kind of games can hurt your pro gram, because kids learn bad habits easily. However, I suppose that in some instance, they would think of it as a fun game. It also gives you a chance to play everyone a lot." The first big play of the game came when Cardinal quarterback Dennis Stefani ran 50 yards on a punt return to score six points for the Cards. Robin LaRue ran in with a pass for two more. Once again, in the first quarter, LaRue sprinted 55 yards on a pass from Stefani to score another T.D. Treve Peterson ran in the extra point. A third touchdown in the first quarter was made by Gregg Rietmann on an 18-yard run. Stefani came in from three yards out to score two more for the extra points. Early in the second quarter, the Cards made a fourth touchdown. This one again was by Rietmann on a 25-yard run. Stefani was successful in kicking for the extra point. In the third quarter, second string quarterback Denny Starr, a freshman, passed to Stefani for a touchdown from 55 yards out. Stefani again was successful in kicking the extra point. The final T.D. for the Cardinals was a 13-yard run by Shawn LaRue. The kick attempt for the extra point failed. The Long Creek Moun taineers' one touchdown came from Pete McDaniels on an 18-yard run.
