is vital to all the programs. Accor
ding to Grant, weight training “ in
creases confidence, aggressiveness
and prevents injury. It also improves
performance and is helpful in the
educational process in physical
education.”
Donations of metal are also being
accepted to build plate holders, a
squat rack and bench. Increasing the
size of the weight room is also be
ing discussed. At present, a core of
10-15 lifters work out five days a
week. Strength increases of 50 to 70
pounds in the bench press are not
uncommon.
The weight room will be used for
football as well as track and
volleyball to improve condition in
each sport as well as community use.
Athletes may be contacted to make
a pledge for either a per pound
amount or a flat rate donation. For

Heppner High School athletic par
ticipants, both male and female, will
hold a ‘Liftathon’ December 28-30
in conjunction with the alumni
basketball tournament, according to
Greg Grant. Grant is the physical
education teacher at Heppner High
school and coaches several sports.
Grant, in his first year at the high
school, said that the facilities and
equipment at Heppner for weightlif
ting are inferior to other schools of
comparable or smaller size.
With the help of the Booster Club
at the high school, four sets of Olym
pic weights weighing 308 pounds
each were purchased. A flat bench,
incline bench and combination leg
extention and leg curl bench were
purchased at a cost of $2,568. One
half of the money was donated and
the other half was loaned. The ’Lif-
tathon’ is being held to raise money
to pay for the new equipment.

JV boys off to 3-1 start
By Pete Pearson
The Heppner JV boys are 3-1 after
four games this season.
Their first game of the year was
at home against the Union JV boys.
UWbn came out of the blocks fast
and led by as many as 20 points in
the first half.
At half time the young Mustangs
spent their break working on play
ing man to man defense and helping
out their teammates underneath
Union's big men. The extra work
paid off as the Mustangs came back
to win the game 54-49, by playing
help defense and out-hustling the
other team. Len Brittner led all
scorers with 16 points.
The Heppner JV boys’ next game
was the next night, once again
against Union, but this time at
Union. The game was close the
whole way, but Union came out on
top, winning the game 50-45. Shane
Munkers led the Mustangs with 11
points.
The boys’ next game was at Pilot
Rock on Monday, December 10 for
the first round of the Pilot Rock JV
Tournament. There were four JV
boys teams playing in the tourna
ment, Mac-Hi, Pilot Rock, Weston-
The Pioneers, with a veteran
lineup, crept back into the ballgame
late in the fourth quarter and took
their first lead since early in the
game with 2:46 remaining. They led
73-70 until Rick Koffler hit a trey,
one of four he had in the game, to
tie it with 1:05 to go. Tevor Albee,
a smooth senior guard for Mac-Hi
hit two from the foul line with 57
seconds left and the Pioneers led
75-73.
The Mustangs got the ball down
low to senior Doug Devin in the post
and he drew the foul with 46 seconds
left. Heppner was 25-34 at the chari
ty stripe and Devin swished both of
his attempts through to send the
game into overtime and set the stage
for Osmins’ heriocs.
Osmin led four Mustangs in dou
ble figures with 19 points. Koffler
chipped in 17, Brandon Pedro had
13 and Doug Devin added 11. Eight
different Mustangs had four re
bounds and floor leader Bob Krein
had five steals on the press.
Albee led Mac-Hi with a game-
high 21 points. Frank Ruiz had 18
in a reserve role, Paul Grove added
13 and Jon Edwards 11 for the
Pioneers.
Coach Padberg was impressed
with the Mustangs’ effort. He told
them that, ‘‘although you had
chances to win it more easily, you
never gave up and played hard the
entire gam e."
The win, the first in recent
memory against the Pioneers, rais
ed the Mustangs' season record to
4-1. Heppner plays both lone and
Condon of the Big Sky Conference
before Christmas break. They start
league play January 4 against the
Wahtonka Eagles.
