SIX The Heppner Gatette-Times. Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, Mustangs By MELISSA PRIVITT The Heppneir Mustangs traveled home from the Dalles last Friday night with a 29-20 victory over the Wahtonka Eagles. They led the scoring with Greg Orr receiving a 15 yard pass from Mark Way in the first quarater. followed by Bob Harris' kicking the extra point. Wahtonka then gained con trol of the ball and let up their side of the scoreboard with a touchdown by Walkins on a six yard run. Their kick for the extra point failed. A three-yard pass from Way to Orr in the second quarter led the Mustangs to another touchdown. Eric Thompson then passed,, the ball to Jim McConnel for the extra point and brought in the two-point conversion. Trying not to let Heppner slip too far ahead. Wahtonka 's DesRochers scored on a 10 yard pass. The Eagles again failed on the extra point attempt. Heppner still maintained the lead as the third quarter rolled around, and made sure they put a stop to Wahtonka 's scoring while at the same time increasing their own points. John Mover made a touch down on a four-yard run fol lowed by Thompsoin running in the extra point. The Mus tangs still kept control of the ball and Mover again, made a touchdown this time on a 22-yard run. It was then a reversal of roles in the fourth quarter when Wahtonka prevented Heppner from scoring and put eight more points on the board for themselves. A seven-yard pass was received by DesRo chers and resulted in a touch down. A pass from Carpenter to Byers lead to a two-point conversion. The Mustangs had faced a few problems during the game which had really concerned the coach. He commented, Our first major concern was blitzing linebackers from Wahtonka. We were not pick ing them up and this was causing problems in our back field. The other was our defen sive secondary. They were not covering their areas again. These are just some of the things a coach has to take responsibility for. We need to drill their assignments into them during practice." This game of scoring 29 points was a season high for the Mustangs and the coach felt that they did some very good things and executed well at times, but feels that they still need to work on picking up blitzing and maintaining blocks. "We also need to work on past events, that is mainly putting more pressure on our quarterback," Kitching replied. The hard w ork and weeks of practice are starting to pay off. "We're getting better." stated Kitching. "I think that the key is that we're not playing up to our full poten tial, we're starting to see a glimmer of what we can be. It will take a lot of work from the players and the coaches to reach our full potential." FLEX SHAMPOO FLEX INSTANT CONDITIONER Pick the Pair That's Perfect for Your Hair.

"a good stepping stone" for the players and would give them confidence as they travel to Maupin Friday night to play Wasco County at 7:30 p.m. "Wasco is a lot like us." the coach replied. "They do diffe rent things on offensive and they like to pass the ball. They have a good quarterback and talented receivers. We need to remember to maintain our level of execution on offense and to concentrate on not being beat on a long pass, and we will." Though the players still have memories of last year when they played Wasco, the coach predicted that the team would put aside any personal Cards lose Dorrin Pod berg (39) prepares Doherty (63), give chase.
