FOUR The Heppner GMette-Times. Mustangs By GLENN SMITH Friday, Jan. 14. the Heppner Mustang basketball team stayed home to play a beauti ful game against the Weston McEwen Tigerscotts that was virtually undecided until the final buzzer sounded. The Rame started out well for the Mustangs with them taking the lead and holding until halftime. In the second half; however, the Tigerscotts rallied to bring the score closer and put pres sure on the Mustangs. With six seconds left in the game, the score was tied 62 - 62 when Mike Currin was fouled on a drive to the basket earning a one and one free throw and a chance to give the Mustangs the lead. Despite the pressure, Currin sank the shot easily. Even so there was a tense moment when Rick Tony for the Tigerscotts put up an open shot from thirty feet out that just barely missed. The game ended victoriously for the Mustangs, 63 - 62. Heppner Coach Brent Eg gers was ecstatic. "They were a really good team but they were a little overconfident and we took them by surprise. I was a little worried when Mike Currin got into foul trouble and we had to go to a spread offense. But Jeff Orr played under control and carried us offensively while Mike was out." The reason Eggers called a spread offense was to keep Hakan Bjorn of the Weston McEwen team from domina ting things while Currin was out. "Part of our plan was to get him to foul out of the game which he eventually did." Eggers went on to commend the team, saying "It was the Heppner suffers loss to Umatilla, 70-72 By GLENN SMITH After the Mustangs defeated Weston-McEwen Friday night, they suffered a disap pointing loss Saturday, Jan. 15, to Umatilla in a close game that ended in overtime, 72 - 70. When comparing Umatilla's team to Weston McEwen's, Coach Brent Eggers stated "they were more aggressive. They really hit the offensive boards and we did a horrible job of screening them out. We did stop their fast break through." The game was close from the beginning but Umatilla played out of control and the Mustangs held onto a slight lead at halftime with a score of 32 - 31. "In the second half we went wild," Eggers com mented, "We started playing out of control like Umatilla. We showed no patience on offense and took some terrible shots. Our defense was poor. I'm surprised that as poorly as we played we went into over time with them." In the Umatilla game, sev eral technicals were called on Mustang players.

The kids were really concentrating out there. Jeff Orr had his best game of the season, scoring 30 points and Rod Cole did a good job filling in for Currin when he was on the bench." Eggers believed a couple of major things contributed to their victory. "We only had 12 turnovers, which is our low so far for the season, and played under control." The Cagers shot 75 percent not pleased. "Apparently some of our players have more concern about the offici ating than they do about play ing basketball." Eggers stated that he would still like to see the team become consistent. "We have got to get rid of the Jekyll and Hyde routine and play well two nights in a row." Coming up, the Mustangs will play at Stanfield Friday night. "Their ball team is really coming on." Coach Eg gers stated. "They are young but aggressive and they have some good shooters. They led Pilot Rock at halftime. But since they are such a young team they might not be able to handle pressure well. We'll just have to go in there and give it 100 percent," he said.
