D Hfi "afrnfwr"1 FOt'R The Heppner Gaielte-TlniM. Pilot Rock Rockets take 14-7 victory over Heppner Mustangs Arch.a Locos (32) reaches By MELISSA PRIYETT The Pilot Rock Rockets re turned home last Friday night with a 14-7 victory over the Heppner Mustangs. Cam George scored a touchdown for Heppner in the first quarter on a dive play, followed by Bob Harris kick ing the extra point. A field goal was attempted by Bob Harris in the second quarter, but wasunsiiccessful. "We had our tee set up wTong. We needed to angle it. We made it more difficult than it already was because we were in a hurry and over looked it. It was a minor thing, but an unfortunate one." commented Heppner Coach Craig Kitching. Heppner had prevented Pilot Rock from scoring any more until the fourth quarter. A touchdown was made by the Rockets, which had put them in the lead. "I was as happy as you can be. considering we didn't win the ball game. I don't think I could be prouder of the way they (Heppner) played." Kitching stated. "The only way I could feel better about the game was if we had own, but I don't know that you can fault our kids. They gave their best efforts in all four quar ters." Pilot Rock was every bit as tough as Heppner expected, and it proved to be a hard, physically fought game. Kitching feels that the mis takes that the Rockets made, which were few, were made up for "They (Pilot Rock) had a poor snap on a field goal attempt that turned into a first down." Kitching recalls. The coach was pleased with the all-around performance of the team and commented on their playing. "Our offense did a better job of picking up the other team's stunts. We had more of a success of running the ball than the previous weeks We were up against a Lunch of hard-hitling bail players." The defensive line was very impressive too. "We didn't back down an inch. I was really proud to see it. We stood toe to toe with them for four quart jers. They (Pilot Rock) got breaks in the fourth quar- MARKETING SEMINAR For Wheat, Barley, Cattle & Corn Tuesday. Nov. 8 SI fitrAcJf.'8 ransu ociii Guest Speaker: TONY DIRKS Marketing Services, Inc.

When asked what he would like to see out of the players this week. Kitching replied, "The same kind of effort this week as we saw last week -actually the last two weeks. That is when we played up to our potential. We played the two top teams and I feel that they were both lucky to come out with wins. We weren't outplayed. I feel that we can play anybody. We proved that the last two weeks." The coach feels that Hep pner seems to play up. or down, to the level of who they are playing and found that to be their only problem. "I wish the season lasted longer because we are just starting to play well. The Mustangs will face Stanfield this Friday at 7:30 p.m. in Heppner. "They have not had a lot of success in football this year, but are getting stronger," said Kitching of the opponents. "It will be another important ball game for us. Like I've said before, there are no really weak teams in the league this year." Stanfield will definitely be a challenge for the Heppner players, according to their coach. "If we don't play as well as we can play, we'll be in serious trouble. We'll have to stop their offense and pick up their blitzing linebackers. We . must establish our running game in order to set up our passing game." Hopefully, the spectators will see a good outcome at Friday's game. "I don't want to make any predictions, it's too early to tell. I hope that we play well and I think we will." concluded Kitching. lone team defeated by Echo By ASHLEY CONKLIN Against the Echo Cougars on Tuesday.
