Oregon Wednesday. September 9,19i7 - SIA EN Change characterizes Mustang football By Ashley Conklin Change scents to be the key word this season as Heppner'» varsity loot hall team enters the W87 Colum bia Basin Conference season The Mustangs, under third year head cuach Tim Birkby. will change both their offense and defense in hopes of impnts ing on last season's 3-3 CBC record (5-4 overall) and a fourth place finish in the nine team league Offensively Heppner «ill throw the ball more this season and not run the option out of an I-formation as it has done the last two years "We'll try and be more exciting offensive ly and throw the ball more while us ing some wider formations, Birkby said. The new offensive attack will center on junior quarterback Dick Devin(6-I, 150 pounds), a two-year lenerman, and receivers Duane Ball, a 6 -1. 140 pound senior and juniors Craig Angeii (5-11. 155) both one year lettermen and Bryan Padhcrg (5-8. 145), a two-year letterman Devin, who has been waiting in the wings for two seasons, will try to improve last year's offense which finished eighth in the league in total offense and can throw the hall to Angell and Padherg who txah started a year ago and Ball who started as a sophomore but missed last season after a bout with mononucleosis The Mustangs will also have speed and experience in the hackfield with senior three-year letterman Scott Jones (5-7, 145) and Sophomore Russell Britt (V-8. 140) who lencrcd last season However. Jones, who suffered a non related football injury during the first week of practice might not be ready for Friday night's opener against Pilot Rock If so. cither junior Jim Bmsnun (5-8. 150) or sophomore newcomer Eric Connor (6-0. 160) will get the nod Brosnan lettered a year ago However, Birkby u concerned about his offensive line as all five of last year's starters graduated " In experience and uncertainty on the of fensive line will be our weak points." he said Seniors Scon Davis (5-10, 205) and Gene Lancaster (6-3. 260) will stan at tackle to give the Mustangs good sue up front along with senior Doug Marian (5-8, 190) at center l^ncaster is a two-year letterman and Davis and Marian lenered for the first time a year ago Senior Terry Gray (5-8, 150). who lenered as a sophomore will dan at one guard while (he other guard position is between junior Jess Jeffreys (6-1, 165) and sophomore Dean Munkers(5 9. 230) Both let tered last season. On the defensive side of the ball. Heppner will switch to a 5-2 set after two years of running a 4-4 "W e've found that the 5-2 fits our personnel better and we'll get better use out of our secondary with it," Birkby said The secondary, which is perhaps the best in the league, will feature Devin and Padhcrg at the comers and Ball and Brin at the safeties Devin led the league last season in interceptions with eight and was a second team all-conference pick while playing safety a year ago Meanwhile Ball picked off three passes as a sophomore and was also a second team all conference defen sive back. Padhcrg intercepted three passes a year ago and aiong with Devin gave the Mustangs the hardest hit ting comers in the league w hile Ball and Britt are among the fastest safeties in the league Heppner will also have good ex perience at the linebacking corps with Davis and Jeffreys who both started last season Lancaster will again start at one defensive tackle and was among the league leaders in tackles a year ago The other tackle position will be manned by cither Gray or Munkcrs Four candidates will compete for two defensive end positions as retur ning lettermen Barney Lindsay ( I 6-1, 155 pound junior) and Mike Mahoney ( a 5-11. 145 pound junior) and sophomore Ryan Miller (5-11. 165). who missed most of last season with an injury "Despite switching from a 4-4 to a 5-2 defense, 1 would consider defense, especially our secondary, our strong suit." Birkby said While the offense was eighth in the league a year ago. the defense was third in total defense Heppncr’s kicking game will also be solid with Angell pmbahly hand! mg the kicking and punting duties although he has been pushed in prac lice by freshman Rick Osnnn Birkby feels that the Mustangs will have a good chance of finishing first or second in the CBC and making the state playoffs. "W e have a good chance ot making the playoffs but we can't l»»sc more than two games," he said "I think we can be competitive w ith the league and sneak up on a lew people because no one expects us to be there " Weston McEwcn. who returns a lot of people looks good in the CBC according to Birkby. and could end W ah tonka’s two-year stanglehold on the division title.

Weston McEwen goes into the season with a question mark at quarterback and Wahtonka has kwt a lot of players off their division winning teams The darkhorsc pick is Pilot Rock which won the district championship in baseball last season and will have experience in sophomore quarter back Tucker Hodgen. running back Jerry Lankford, a senior, and senior receiver Rick Rasmussen Heppner will host the Rockets to kick off the season for both teams at 7:30 p m.
