By TRAVIS HYATT
The Heppner Mustangs
came out of the locker room as
flat as a pancake and finished
like they started in a 58-41
deteat at the hands of the
Wheeler Falcons last Tuesday
night, Jan. 10. The first quart
er was by far the worst
quarter for the Mustangs. In
fact. Wheeler Co. forward Bill
Macinnes out-scored the Mus
tangs 10-8 in the quarter and
after one the score was 20-8.
The Mustangs out-scored
Wheeler 10-9 in the second
quarter as Tom Hammon
chipped in with six points and
the score on the half was 29-18.
"We really battled back in
the second quarter, I didn't
think were were out of the
game yet," said HHS Coach
Brent Eggers.
Wheeler's defense was too
much for the Mustangs in the
third quarter as Heppner only
scored five points and were
down by 21 points heading into
the fourth.
