The Cardiac Cards have
returned. The lone Cardinals
pulled out a close win last

not predicted by many.
Mustangs trounce
By GI.ENN SMITH
Saturday, Dec. 17, the Hep
pner Mustangs trounced the
Elgin Huskies in a home game
that ended with a score of
Heppner 64. Elgin 36. Coach
Brent Eggers commented
"The team played their best
game of the season. We really
executed. our half-court of
fense and fast break well. We
had an excellent first half
defensively, although we
fouled a little too much in the
second."
The Mustangs set the pace
for the entire game dazzling
the Huskies and controlling
their scoring. It was late in the
second quarter when the
Huskies score hit double
figures. By half time the Mus
tangs led 39 - 13, pretty much
putting the game out of reach
for Elgin.
"We played under control a
lot better, doing a few new
pre-game exercises on con
centration that really helped a
lot." Eggers said, "Mental
mistakes that plagued us in
previous games were pretty
well eradicated."
High scorer for Heppner
was Jeff Orr with 16 points,
stuffing the ball to increase
the Mustangs' lead. Jay Hayes
had 14 points off the bench,

on way lo Cardinal upset
The first quarter was all
lone as the Cardinals pres
sured Heppner to turn the ball
over time after time and then
went on the attack racking up
15 points to Heppner'i 11. The
birds from lone set up a
defense that closed the middle
off to Heppner's middle men
and got back on Defense after
the pressure to stop Heppner's
playing what Eggers said was
"the best game of his career."
High rebounder for the Mus
tangs was Greg Connor with
nine.
All the Mustang players
shined Saturday, each one
working hard during the en
tire game.
"Our key to the fast break
was a lot better outlet passes
by our big men," Coach Eg
gers stated, "something we
hadn't done all year." When
asked his opinion of the con
trast between Heppner's per
formance against lone and
Elgin, Eggers commented
"Like night and day. The lone
game was a perfect example
of Murphy's Law. We didn't
have one player that played
well in the lone game."
Although two of the Elgin
starters were missing from
the game, Eggers felt that "It
only would have made the
score closer. We had a special
defense ready for Elgin but we
didn't even have to use it."
In the coach's rating sys
tem, Jeff Orr led the cagers
with a 20. Jay Hayes and
Greg Connor both had a 10.
The Mustangs will play lone
again Tuesday, Dec. 21. Eg
gers said he is looking forward
to playing them again. "I'm
