The lone Cardinals were defeated
in two games played last week, los
ing to Heppner on Monday and fall
ing to Spray on Friday. In both
games, the Cards struggled with
their shooting as their opponents
rolled to easy wins. Their pre-season
record now stands at 4-3.
On Monday, Heppner wasted no
time in pouncing on the Cards, jum
ping out to a 15-0 lead in the first
quarter. The Cardinals pulled to
within six points near the end o f the
first half but several Mustang three-
pointers gave them a 12-point
halftime advantage. lone was never
able to gain any ground on the
Mustangs in the second half, leading
to the 20-point margin of defeat.
Ryan Halvorsen led all scorers
with 26 points followed by Mike
Garrett with 22 and Gabe Garcia
with 10. Doug Devin led the
Mustangs with 17 points. The Cards
were overpowered on the boards,
34-49. Mike Garrett led the lone re
bounding effort with 10, followed by
Deacon Heideman with seven.
David Wagenblast had five assists
and Ryan Halvorsen had four while
Garcia paced the Cardinals with five
steals. lone shot 36 percent from the
floor, making 27 o f 76. The
Mustangs hit 33 of 85 for 38 percent.
From the free throw line, lone
managed just 12 of 25 for 48 percent
compared to the Mustangs 13 of 21
for 62 percent.
“ We did not have a good shooting
night,” said coach Del LaRue, sum
ming up the loss. He did mention
that Ryan Halvorsen had a good
game and that Deacon Heideman did
some strong rebounding.
On Friday, the Cardinals played
the Spray Eagles almost even until
the half. The third quarter was a dif
ferent story as the Eagles outscored
them, 20-7, and went on to win the
game, 63-42.
Gabe Garcia was high scorer for
the Cards with 15 points. Mike Gar
rett and Ryan Halvorsen each chip
ped in with 10. The teams were
about even in rebounds. For lone,
Mike Garrett led the way with nine
boards, followed by Ryan Halvorsen
with eight and Dieacon Heideman
with seven. David Wagenbiast dish
ed out five assists and Gabe Garcia
and Halvorsen had three steals each
to lead those categories.
“ We played well defensively in
the first half,” said coach LaRue,
“ but they got away from us in the
third quarter.” He noted that the
team shot poorly and that the inten
sity was missing from their game.
“ Hopefully the vacation will revive
us,” he said.
