The lone High School foot ball team was honored aftho Heppner Chamber of Com merce meeting Monday at. noon at the West of Willow Restaurant. Coach Gordon Meyers spoke to the chamber about the success of the team as lone won its second straight state championship this year. "Last year we were called the Cardiac Cards which was fitting because we pulled out quite a few games in the final seconds." Meyers said. "But this year we really did not have any close games with the closest one being 20 points. I do not know if the competition was weaker or we were stronger but I think it was a combination of the two. "We were stronger because we had one more year of experience. I do think the teams in our league were down this year compared to last year. "The championship game (against Prospect) was against one of the weaker teams we played. There were four teams in eastern Oregon better than that team. North Powder was better. Dufur was better and Arlington was just as good. Prospect had two players hurt in our game and two were hurt going into the game so the game might have been a little closer if they had played but I still don't think they would have won but it might have been a better ball game." Coach Meyers said he has a good nucleus of players com ing back next year. The team will lose six seniors to graduation. lone's defense will only lose one of the eight starters but offensively, four players will be missed. Quar terback Dennis Stefani will have to be replaced as will the center and two guard posi tions Movers apologized to the people at the meeting who followed the football team at the buffet lunch.
