Heppner Fillies take
By DANA RKID
Thursday. Sept. 29. the J.V.
Fillies played an exciting
game against the Umatilla
Vikings. The game was played
at Umatilla.
The first match was a close
one The Vikings made the
first few points but the Fillies
stayed right in there. The
Fillies had super team work
and were playing very well.
They had very few serves that
didn't go over the net. The
serves for the Vikings were
the same. The Vikings' serves
were down hard in the back
row They really made the
Fillies hustle and do a lot of
talking The Fillies weren't
doing quite as well playing the
ball after it was received and
Heppner only made one point
when the Vikings made two so
the game went to the Vikings.
The score was 15 17.
The Fillies were really fired
up and ready to go now. They
knew they had to win the next
match to stay in the game.
The Fillies had the first serve
and it was over. The Vikings
just weren't set to receive the
ball so the Fillies scored. They
were off to a good start, but
later in the game the Vikings
were serving well. With a lillie
trouble at the net for the
Fillies the Vikings scored a
few more points and were
ahead of the Fillies. But that
didn't scare the Fillies. They
were still in there. The Fillies
were really hustlisng and
ready for the ball, to be
anywhere because Umatilla's
serves would go anywhere.
The Fillies started to get a
handle on the ball and were
bumping, setting and spiking
them down. The Vikings were
also doing the same. The score
was getting tied back up again
and it was close to the end of
the game. The Fillies made
some mistakes that they
shouldn't have but they cer
tainly made up for them and
went Into an extra long game
with a final score of 15-13.
However, in the third
match, which decided who
would win the game, was an
even tougher one. It was a
fight to the finish. The Fillies
won the coin toss and got the
first serve. As the serve was
hit over hard, the action star
ted. Both teams wanted to win
the game and did their best.
The score was close all the
way through the game. Both

The Fillies had a bit of trouble
receiving at first, but after a

were out to win. The Fillies
picked the serves up and set
them right to the setter for a
spike. Towards the end of the
game both teams were ser

and they knew theire serves

that's all the time it took the
Vikings to figure it out too,
because their serves were in
again, too.
The game was both exciting
and scary. The score was tied
up at one point, then the
Vikings would score to put
them in the lead, but the
Fillies would receive it well
and make it a side out. Then
the Fillies tied the score
again. Having to win by two
was a close game but the
Fillies pulled through. The
score was 15-10.
The second match was not
good for the Fillies. They were
having trouble receiving the
ball. The Vikings' serves were
coming over hard and the
Fillies just weren't ready and
moving enough to get under it
and bump it up so the match
went to the Vikings. The score
was 15-0.

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

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.
