The Heppner Mustangs take
on the Pilot Rock Rockets
tomorrow night in Heppner in
their last league game of
the year.
Heppner beat Lyle-Klickitat
last week 34-12 to run its
record to 7-0.
The Heppner defense held
the team from Washington to
one total yard in rushing in the
non-league game. John Mur
ray ran the ball for 101 yards,
Chris Zita ran for 81 yards on
13 carries and Doug Holland

before Lyle-Klickitat scored
its points in the final period.
Both of their scores came on
fumble returns of Heppner
miseues.
Heppner had trouble kicking
extra points as they made only
one of five.
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

Heppner grads stars for

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."

emotion-charged game.
The Rockets are having
their best season in eight
years and they definitely think
they have a good chance at
upsetting Heppner.
The game should be close in
the first half but once the
Mustang defense takes charge
in the second half, Heppner
should be able to win 21-7.

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
