TWO - Heppner Gazette-Time*, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, November 28, 1990 Cardinals kick off basketball season By Anne Morter lone High School kicks off its basketball season this Friday at the Morrow County Invitational Tourna ment at Riverside High School in Boardman. Both the boys and girls team will take on Heppner in the opening round of play. The girls will play at 3 p.m. followed by the boys at 4:30 p.m. Expect a different look from the defending 1A state champion Lady Cardinals. With the departure of all five starters, third-year head coach Dana Heideman expects the team to run a bit differently. He returns five varsity lettermen but most of the players are sophomores and juniors and lack varsity experience. He says the team will have some good out side shooters but they look to be weak in the rebounding department. "W e’re not a tall team but we are quick,” says Heideman. “ In fact, we probably have the fastest team in the Big Sky League.” Top returners are juniors Kari Morgan and Nancy Morter. Both had plenty of playing time in last year's state title hunt. Heideman ex- We Print FLYERS Gazette-Times Heppner 676-9228 pects sophomore Danielle Stefani to take over the point guard position, leaving the last two starting spots up for grabs. He noted that Wendy Anderson and Janie Cupps made good progress over the summer and will possibly fill the low post positions. Heideman expects Wheeler and Sherman to be the tough teams in the West Division with lone and Condon dueling it out in the East. While the team will be made up of many new faces, Heideman predicts that the Lady Cardinals will be in the hunt at the end of the season. As for the boys team, head coach Del LaRue predicts that the Car dinals will improve on their 9-13 record of last season using tougher defense and a quicker tempo. LaRue, who is in his 20th year of coaching at lone, returns three starters and six lettermen from last year’s squad. Juniors Mike Garrett and Gabe Garcia, along with sophomore David Wagenblast will provide the Cardinal starting five with some experience. Also with Garrett at 6 ’5” and sophomore Deacon Heideman at 6 ’4 ” , the Car dinals will have some height in the backcourt. “ We will be improved,” says LaRue. He noted that summer league play in Pendleton and the AAU Tournament in Yakima pro vided good experience for the boys against much bigger schools. He also expects to have more strength off the bench this season. The Cards will be using a new of fense this season and LaRue hopes for good things once they adapt.
