JV Fillies trample Vikings
ID D A N A H M D
After a big win against the I'm atil
la Vikings, the JV Killies hold a
disappointing 3 9 record
Kor an inexperienced team, the
record isn't that important, it's what
you learn that makes for the future
stars
The young Killies have proved
themselves so far this season. K ri
day '» gam e against Um atilla is a
prim e exam ple
The gam e w as played at Umatilla
and Heppner hustled their way to a
big 45 33 defeat
The score at the end of the first
quarter was no threat to either
team, but by intermission the Killies
pulled away leav mg the Vikings with
an eight point lead
The Killies hustled their way as
they played the best gam e of the
season, according to coach la**
Payne
We played under control for the
most p a rt," said coach Payne "W e
were aggressive but not overly
aggressive "
Heppner was not only playing
aggressive ball, but they also shot
well
Nance Wright led the way for the
Killies, scoring 17 points, while Tam i
Lindsay and Sandi Turner pul in 10
and 8 points respectively
Heppner has had a tough time with
Spray. Pilot Hock and Stanfield this
year
"W e were too tim id ." commented
coach Payne
We were not under
control and shot poorly."
Nance Wright leads in the score
boards for the Killies averaging 5 8
points a gam e Wright's career high
is 17 points which was against the
Umatilla Vikings
Kunning a close second is varsity
floater Sandi Turner avaraging 4 9
points per gam e, and Tam i Lindsay
also averaging 4 9 points per gam e
Points are definatelv not every
thing involved in basketball Delen
se. rebounding, assists, steals and
just all-out hustle are great factors
which come from all members of the
JV Killies team
"A s a team they've shown a great
deal of improvement over the past
several weeks, said coach Payne
"T h e key has been to play under
control and be patient
When that
has happened w e've played well "
Payne has named Nance Wright as
the toughest competitor so far this
season
"A t this point Nance Wright is
probably playing the lies! for us,"
Payne stated
"She is aggressive
and is shooting the ball well "
Others making significant and
consistent contributions are Sandi
Turner. Tam i Lindsay. Cathy Mar
tin and Jill Conklin
The Killies team as a whole is
playing very well
The greatest
asset is "hustle and playing hard by
all team m em b ers," said Payne
"K veryon e is giving 100 percent
when they're on the court.” conclud
ed Payne

In one corner we have the chal
lenger. the Stanfield Tigers, who
favor a slow, patient half-court
game and rely on 6 ft 5 in Tony
Brown and guard Howard Wagoner
for the offensive punch
In the other corner, we have the
Heppner Mustangs The leaders of
the Columbia Basin Conference's
Kastern Division will run when
given the chance and rely on Todd
Ijndsay and Wayne W ilgers (or their
offensive artillery
The Tigers were able to slow the
game down In the end the Mustangs
ran When the final bell sounded on
Saturday Keb I, Heppner had a
36 31 decision and a 52 CHC mark
and
8-6 one overall
Heppner ran in the first fram e and
was able to squeak out an II 5 lead
Stanfield kept things interesting
by using a variety of defenses to
control Lindsay and W ilgers
The Tigers went to a rone defense,
used a man-to man defense went to
a triangle and two on Lindsay and
W ilgers, tried a box and-one on
I jndsay. and one on Wilgers
Brown went to the bench with his
third foul with 50 seconds left in (he
first fram e and Stanfield pulled out
all the stops
The Tigers went to a delay game
in the second period and it worked
for awhile as the Mustang lead
dw indled to 13 11
" It was a good coaching m o v e ,"
said Heppner coach Brent Kggers of
Stanfield taskmaster Steve York s
decision
"Our backline defense
didn t do a good job reacting to the
delay gam e and as a result Stanfield
got some easy buckets "
Heppner appeared to be in trouble
when Tony Clement was saddled
with his third foul with 5 50 left in
the period However, after Stanfield
trailed only 13-11, Heppner scored
the final four points of the half to
lead 17 II
