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

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.

Starns and Edmundson tied

the secondhole. Edmundson

kick-off and marched down
the field at will for 69 yards on
seven plays. 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. The extra point
was made by Randy Johnson.
The Mountaineers also had a
safety for two more points.
Prior to the game, the lone
Cardinals presented the lone
High School Marching Band,
led by Mr. Gene Sartain. They
performed several numbers
which were well received by
those present.

five turnovers not to mention
the five quarterback sacks for
a minus 65 yards and many
untimely and costly penalties.
Heppner put the game away
in the second period when
Murray, this time on defense,
intercepted a Devereaux pass
and raced in to score from
36-yards out. Again the con
version was true and the
Mustangs led 21-0 in a game
which was supposed to be
close.
Weston-McEwen struck
quickly after that as Deve
reaux hit wide receiver Jim
Rice on a 50-yard pass play to
make the halftime score 21-7.
The way the teams were
moving the ball in the first
half it looked as if they would
score 100 points each in the
game but the defenses took
control in the second half and
there was not much offense.
Defensive standout in the
second half for Heppner were
Dale Holland and Joedy Mar
latt, who had quarterback
sacks on crucial fourth down
tries by the TigerScots, and
Ray Miller, who recovered a
fumble.
Murray was the leading
rusher in the game with 79
yards on 24 carries. Heppner
gained only 128 yards in total
offense while Weston-McEwen
had 198 yards.

121 yards and Devereaux hit

yards.
