Heppner, Oregon, Thursday. October , 1983 FIVE Heppner defeated by Umatilla Vikings 14-19 By MELISSA PRIVETT There was still excitement in Ide air ati the Heppner Mustangs walked off their home field Friday night after being defeated by the Umatil la Vikings 14-19. With four seconds left in the fourth quarter, Eric Thomp son threw a pass to Greg Orr and it was completed down to the eight yard line. The crowd roared their approval but were soon disappointed when the referee said that the pass was made beyond the line of scrimage. Though the team and the onlookers were not happy with the call. Coach Craig Kitching commented. "I assumed it was the right call. I don't think he'd make the wrong call on purpose," It was because of that call that the Mustangs did not gain the points that they needed to win the game. But Heppner did start off the scoring when John Moyer made the first touchdown in the first quarter on a two-yard run. Greg Orr scored on a 50-yard pass inter ception, followed by Eric Thompson running in the extra point in the fourth quar ter. The gap in the second quar ter that the Mustangs failed to fill with touchdowns was kept active by Umatilla's Rob Sil lamanca. who made all of his team's three touchdowns; the first on a touchdown pass and the others on rushing. He also kicked the extra point. Umatilla was expected to play well, but so was Heppner. "I was impressed with the way we came back," stated Kitching. referring to a pre vious game against Sherman. "We shouldn't have dug our selves a hole in the second quarter. They scored all of their points then." This was partly because of the Mustang's offensive play ing. Kitching replied, "We had problems blocking the right people. Umatilla was sending their linebackers through the line and we weren't picking them up. That led to them tackling our backs behind the lien of scrimmage. "Defensively we had some mental lapses and it cost us points. We just need to use our Year Certificate 6 Month Money Market Certificate m Year Fixed Rate Certificate '2 Year Fixed Rate Certificate 3V2 Year Fixed Rate Certificate heads more, block the right people, and go to the right areas of defense." the coach added. What were the general atti tudes of the players before the game? Kitching answered, "Nervous. We thought we could win. We expected a tough ball game and it was. We go into every ball game expecting to win." But whether those feelings had any effect on how they played resulted in another comment from the coach. "It's good to be a little bit nervous and on edge. It keep the adrenalin flowing. We were anxious, but I don't think that affected us, just the breakdowns. Not by nervous ness, just not thinking." The Mustangs will travel to Wahtonka High School at The Dalles this Friday for the game against the Eagles at 7:30 p.m. Wahtonka has been scouted by Heppner and they appear to offensively run a lot of "man in motion" in every play. "They are bigger than we are. That's nothing new to us." Kitching laughed. Concentration will be needed for the Mustangs to win this game, along with blocking the right people and remembering their defensive assignments. w I plus Friday & 9am Coffee & 4 We Provide QUALITY Plants at REASONABLE Prices!
