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-

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.
