The loss snapped an 18-game win

the fifth game of last season.
On Saturday the Lady Cards wat
ched the Joseph Eagles take a 21-9
lead at halftime before rallying back
to a 37-32 victory. The teams were
tied at the end of the first quarter,
6-6, but as Joseph scored 15 points
in the second quarter, the Cards
managed just three points as tur
novers and mistakes plagued them.
In the third quarter, the Cardinals hit
their stride, outscoring the Eagles,
18-4. Nancy Morter hit two three-
point shots in that quarter and Amy
Pointer and April Taylor came off
the bench to play well. The Cards
lengthened their lead in the fourth
quarter, outscoring Joseph 10-7 for
the final five-point margin.
Nancy Morter led the scoring at
tack with 12 points. Kari Morgan
had nine and freshman April Taylor
chipped in six. The Cards held a
40-35 rebounding edge with Kari
Morgan grabbing 12. Morgan also
accounted for nine of the Cardinals

assists to lead that effort.
It was another cold shooting night
for lone. They shot 13 of 67 for 19

ly, Joseph was having much the
same trouble making just nine of 42

14-32 for 44 percent from the line.
Coach Dana Heideman was en
couraged by the win. He commend
ed Kari Morgan for a good game,
saying that ‘she was everywhere,”
racking up steals, rebounds and for
cing turnovers. He said he was also
pleased with the girls coming off the
bench. "It was nice to come back for
the win so the girls know they can
do it,” said Heideman.
This weekend, the Cardinals play
at the Condon Christmas Tourna
ment. Friday, they face rival

number-one in the state.

The Varsity Fillies basketball team
got off to a slow start, winning one
out of three games this past week.
On Nov. 27 they played Mac-Hi,
losing by nine points, 32-41.
The first half was close with
neither team able to penetrate and
make very many points. At half-time
the score was Mac-Hi. 20, Heppner
13.
In the second half Karlee Thunnell
of Mac-Hi got hot and nothing the
Fillies did could slow her down.
Thunnell made 13 out of her total 15
points in the third quarter. Heppner
fought back in the fourth quarter to
hold Mac-Hi to six more points but
couldn’t score enough to catch up,
losing 32-41. Senior Nikki Brisbois
of Heppner led the Fillies with eight
rebounds, five steals and three assists
while senior Amy Greenup was high
scorer with 10 points..
