Pilot Rock as the Rockets took
a 21-8 lead at the end of the
first quarter. The team trailed
35-23 at halftime and 51-39 at
the end of three quarters but

by nine.
Heppner was whistled for 28
fouls in the game as Robert
Bier, Greg Sweeney and Brett
Sherer fouled out.
"We lost the game in the
first five minutes of the
game," Eggars said. "You
can't spot a team that many
points and expect to come
back. The fouls and the
turnovers killed us."

but the winners had more with
31. Pilot Rock outrebounded
Heppner 31-26.
Sweeney scored 16 points to
lead the scoring, Don Lott and

at the buzzer ending the first
quarter 17-14 but came back to
load at halftime 29-20. Weston
McEwen held Heppner to only
two points in the slow third
period as Heppner trailed
32-31. The TigerSeots out
scored Heppner 11-8 in the
fourth to take the game.
With seven minutes left in
the game and Heppner trail
ing 35-33. the Mustangs were
called for a technical foul for
stalling and the TigerScots
were awarded a free throw
and the ball and that was the
turning point in (he game,
Eggars said.
After the technical foul,
"We had to put Bier back in
the game sooner than I wanted
to and he fouled out," Eggars
said.
Bier had been silting on the
bench with four personal fouls
when Heppner went into its
delayed game and was sig
naled for a technical foul
without a warning by the
official.
"The kids played an excel
lent game" Eggars said.
"They did everything I asked
of them. The technical and
some questionable fouls on
Bier took us out of the game.
Don Lott had a great game for
the second night in a row
making 9-of-9 from the free
throw line."
Lott led the scoring with 11,
Bier had 10, and Sherer 8,
Sweeney 4, Thompson 4, and
Mollahan 2.
