Pilot Rock beat Riverside last week 7-6 and Heppner Coach John Sporseen said tomorrow night's game shouid be a tough one. The Rockets are enjoying their first winning season since 1971. They were elimi nated from the playoffs last week, even though they won, since both Stanfield and Wes ton McEwen won too. If Stanfield beats Wasco County tomorrow night, Stanfield will go to the playoffs, along with Heppner, but if the Tigers lose, the TigerScots will go. Pilot Rock prides itself in having a tough defense. The defense won the game for them last week when Dave Pedro blocked the extra point kick that could have tied the game. Halfback Dean Jobes leads the offense. He carried the ball 31 times for 145 yards in the win over Riverside. Quar terback Robbie Simpson and receiver Tim Nielson are also active offensively. The Rock ets are 5-2 going into the final league game. PREDICTION: Heppner has played three games in a row away from its home field and the Mustangs wil undoub tedly be flying high and getting psyched for the play offs. Unfortunately for Pilot Rock, it just happens to be the team the Mustangs will be playing, in what should be an 1 Mir WfcWM pr At 1T1Tf Members of Blue Mountain Community College's volleyball team include in the front row from left: Pam Jones, Jackie Mollahan, Roz Quinn, Becki Rattray and Marie Yocom. In the back row are: Jue Jue Withers, Maureen Healy, Sheryl Woodward, Kathy Cahill, Wendy Myers and Kerry Richards. Heppner grads stars for community college team Four graduates of Heppner High School are currently on Blue Mountain Community College's intercollegiate vol leyball team. Wendy Myers, Maureen Healy, Marie Yocom and Jackie Mollahan are all from Heppner and all are in their freshman year at BMCC. Myers plays the front line for the team and is currently third highest in team spiking, according to Coach Bernice Bigham, "Wendy does a good job spiking and blocking at the front," Bigham said. Healy and Mollahan cur rently lead the team in passing percentage. "We use both of them at the net as well as on defense in the back row," their coach said. Second high in serving is Yocom. Additionally, she sets up the ball for the spikers. Coach Bigham 's team is made up of all freshmen except for one sophomore who did not play volleyball last year. "Our standings in the league are not all that great, but we have been learning," accord ing to Bigham. "If they stick it out, we'll have a good team next year." The volleyball team cur rently stands 2-8. "None of our players had played competitive collegiate volleyball," the coach pointed out. "In the Oregon commu nity college athletics, the competition is much stronger, much more aggressive than high school is. . "In the west part of Oregon, the teams are used to higher competition. We just don't have that caliber of play over here," she continued. Participation in the Oregon community colleges league involves a lot of travel as the team goes to games through out Oregon. The team tradi tionally was better at home, but they only played league games in Pendleton two week ends out of their schedule. "It's surprising what one year of experience will do for the players," Coach Bigham said in anticipation of next year. "Our team is very skilled and we should do pretty well next year."

Riverside loses close contest By Gary Gordanier The Riverside Pirates fell victim to the Pilot Rock Rockets Friday night, losing in a football game by the narrow margin of 7-6. The game was an exciting one between two, evenly matched teams and it proved to be a very tough defensive battle,as the score reflects. Both teams did, however, show spurts of offense al though penalties stopped a number of scoring opportuni ties. Pilot Rock struck first, midway through the first quarter, on a seven-yard run by halfback Dean Jobes. The extra point kick was good, making the score 7-0. The Pirates got on board midway through the second quarter on an 80-yard drive. Lerry Wilson took an inside hand-off and broke loose on a 40-yard run, moving the ball to the Rockets' 40-yard line. On the very next play, senior halfback Rick Pettigrew raced to the other sideline all the way to the end zone. The extra point attempt by the Pirates was blocked and turned out to be the difference in the ball game. The Pirates threatened to score again in the third quarter, after getting down to the three-yard line on a 40-yard romp by Rick Petti grew. A penalty on the Pirates moved the ball back and the Pirates were unable to capi talize, which credits the tough Rockets defense unit. Pirate Head Coach Stan Scott thought his team played well despite losing by a narrow margin. Scott pointed out that the Pirates had some penalties at crucial times during the game. Stacy Coleman and Curtis Viall both turned in good defensive efforts for f he Pi rates, coming with some big plays. Offensively, Pettigrew and Wilson both had a fine night, rushing for !(." and 75 yards respective SAVE YOU!
