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

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. Eggers was

Mike Currin (24) goes up for
most intelligent game we have
played so far. 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.
