EIGHT The Heppner GaMtte Cards end season The lone Cardinals ended their 1982 football season Fri day night with a convincing win over Dufur, 42 - 28. The high-scoring Cardinnls rolled up impressive yardage on their way to the victory, burning Dufur on both pass plays and long-yardage run ning plays. lone was off to a quick start in the homecoming contest. After taking the opening kick off Denny Starr connected on a 47-yard pass to Craig Hams, which set up a 19-yard run off scrimmage by Howard Lea vitt for the first TD. Dufur came right back, however, taking the ball all the way to the Cardinal eight yard line before the boys in red held. Ione's offence proved un stoppable, as the Cards star ted a drive on their own eight,, which ended with a 63-yard run by Leavitt for the second TD and a 14 point edge. Dufur failed to score in the first quarter but bounced back in the second stanza driving the ball to the lone one before punching over for six. The conversion was successful and Dufur pulled to within six. The ball changed hands twice before Dufur was forced to punt. lone came back and on a "fine" pass from Starr to Tim Patton on fourth down on the three yard line for the score. Leavitt ran in for the conversion and lone was now up 22 - 6 at the half. "It was a fine throw and a fine catch," Head Coach Gor don Meyers said of the Starr Patton connection. In the second half lone kicked off, but held Dufur after they pushed to the 17 yard line. The Cardinals took over and drove all the way down field . until Craig Hams capped the drive with a 38-yard run off tackle for the score. Leavitt scored the conversion for the Cards. In the fourth quarter the " , wheels fell off our game," said Meyers, as Dufur scored 22 points and put a scare into the Cards. Dufur scored first when a bad snap from center on a punt bounced into the endzone and the Dufur players recov ered on the two-yard line, which Dufur promptly punch ed in for another score, mak ing it a 30 - 28 ballgame in favor of lone. But a miraculous catch ly senior end Tim Patton on third and 25 yards to go turned the game around for lone. "They kicked off and we drove down field," said Mey ers. After a holding penalty the Cards were pushed back and it was third down twenty five yards and things looked shakey for lone. But Patton pulled off the catch of the season as he reached over the Dufur defen ders to pull in a 38-yard pass from Starr. Patton had a nose for the goal line as he took the ball, and dragging one defender behind, went five more yards for a TD. "That was the turning point ' of the game, it gave us some breathing room," said Meyers. Ione's final score of the game came' when Hams scored on a 40-yard dive play which made it 42 - 20. Dufur finished up the scor ing with a touchdown in the final seconds of the game. "We had a good season, Meyers said.
