SIX The Heppner Gaiette-Times, Cardiac Cards suffer By ( Rir. GUTIERREZ The Cardiac Cards had a mild stroke last Tuesday night, Dec. 21, as the Mus tangs successfully defended their home court and defeated the Cardinals by nine points, points, The rematch between the Cardinals and the Mustangs caused anxiety on the Cardi nals' bench, and revenge on the Mustangs' bench as the birds from lone defeated the Mustangs the previous week. The Cardinals started the game with the same frame of mind as the week before but due to the Cardinals" inability to hold onto the ball, and pressure that was applied by Heppner, the Cardinals had too many turnovers and only 16 rebounds for the game. The first half was a replay of the Tuesday before as the game was all defense and little offense for either team. Although the first half was not what many people would call "good basketball," it seemed to be beneficial for both teams but more so for the Mustangs of Heppner, as they finished the first half leading by five. 29 to 24 The second half, particular ly the third quarter, was all Heppner as the Mustangs out scored the Cardinals and in creased their lead to 17. The Mustangs opened their attack with a stall offense or a spread-out-four-corner of fense that the Cardinals at tempted to counterattack with a man-to-man defense, but to no avail. The Mustangs rattled off six straight points as Jeff Orr was on the receiving end of three alley-oop passes which fell through the iron for Heppner. In the fourth quarter, lone tried something else. They went into a half-count-trap-defense that enabled them to stop the Mustang's ball from rolling and catch up to within nine before the final buzzer sounded, ending the game at 53 to 44 with the Mustangs victorious. The Cardinals will meet the Umapine Chiefs on January 4. as they start their Big Sky Conference season w ith hopes of earning a seat in the district tournament at Umatilla.
