Heppner Gazette-1 imes, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, February 13, 1991 - FIV E
Mustangs take home court victory
The Heppner Mustangs moved
one step closer to a Columbia Basin
conference championship with a
home court 85-76 victory Friday
over the Weston-McEwen Tiger
Scots.
The highlight of the contest had to
be the performance of senior Bran
don Pedro of the Mustangs. The
6’ 1’ ’ post player scored a season and
career-high 33 points against the
Tiger Scots. Pedro was deadly from
the field, making 15 of 19 shots with
a
variety
of
re
bound baskets and short jumpers. He
was also a perfect 3-3 from the line.
He also had 12 rebounds in the
game.
The game at Heppner was much
like the victory several weeks ago in
Athena. Heppner busted to a 40-34
halltime lead as the press and cons
tant pressure bothered the Tiger
Scots.
Weston-McEwen went inside
when they could break the press and
Brian Pickard and Keith Walters
both had fine games for the losers.
Pickard scored 28 points and Walters
had 23 counters.
The Tiger Scots never lost contact
with the Mustangs but Heppner in
creased their lead to 10 points going
into the last quarter. The last period
was a draw and Heppner’s victory,
combined with Umatilla’s win over
second-place Wasco County, leaves
Heppner two games ahead with on
ly two to play.
Three other Mustangs scored in
double figures with Rick Koffler get
ting 12 points and Bob Krein and
Rick Osmin each scoring 10.
Charlie Rathbun came off the
bench and had three rebounds and
three steals in a pivotal time of the
game for Heppner.

Heppner Varsity Fillies had
another tough weekend, starting with
their loss to CBC’s leading team
Weston-McEwen on Friday, Feb. 8,
47-65.
The Fillies started off playing zone
defense and offensively worked well
as a team. Nikki Brisbois scored the
first basket of the game but Weston-
McEwen changed to a full court
press and tied the score up at six
points with 1:04 minutes left. The
Tiger Scots took the lead and at the
end of the first quarter lead by three
points.
In the second quarter the Fillies
couldn't make it work as the Tiger
Scots ran several fast breaks to
score. No matter how hard the
Fillies tried, they couldn’t shut down
the Tiger Scots big girls rebounding
and scoring. At halftime the Fillies
were behind 22-34.
The second half went by quickly
as the Fillies scored quite a few
points, but not enough to catch the
Tiger Scots who scored twice as
many.
Nikki Brisbois led the Fillies with
17 points, 12 in the second half.
Amy Greenup had 12 points all in
the first half. Holly Eckman chipped
in nine points and had five assists.
Brisbois pulled down 12 rebounds
despite playing against the taller
Weston-McEwen team.

Nancy Morter (33) passes over Pirate player
By A nne M orter
On Saturday, Feb. 9, the Lady
Cards “ escaped with a win,” 47-38.
in the words of their coach after a
fourth period rally when they played
Cascade Locks on the road. The
Pirates, a non-qualifier for the
district tournament, led for most of
the game before the girls overtook
them in the fourth quarter.
Nancy Morter was again high
scorer for the Cards with 11 follow
ed by Cyrstal Minster with nine and
Kari Morgan with eight points. The
Cards barely edged Cascade Locks
on the boards, 30-29, with Janie
Cupps pulling down eight rebounds
and Kari Morgan adding seven.Nan
cy Morter, Janie Cupps and Crystal
Minster each grabbed three steals
and Brandi Ball had two assists to
pace the Cards. lone suffered
through a rocky shooting night, hit
ting just 18 of 65 from the floor for
28 percent. They fared better at the
free throw line, making nine of 15
for 60 percent. The Pirates were 14
of 36 from the field for 39 percent
and 10 of 20 from the line for 50
percent.
“ We were not m entally
p re p are d ,” said coach Dana
Heideman. He said he felt that after
the tough game with Condon the
night before, the girls had a lot of
trouble getting going on Saturday.
He added that the Cascade Locks
gym is a hard place to play and their
game reflected it.
Heideman commended Crystal
Minster for her fine play off the
bench. “ She played really hard and
aggressive,” he said. He also said
that April Taylor did a fine job com
ing off the bench.
The Lady Cards will return to the
district tournament in Umatilla this
weekend to defend their title. As the
number one seed from the East Divi
sion, they meet Wheeler in the open
ing round at 6 p.m. on Friday. A win
will automatically advance them to
the state tournament in Baker City
as the district's number one team. If
they should lose, they will get
another chance at state when they
meet the winner of the Condon-
Sherman game. The game will be
broadcast on KOHU-FM in
Hermiston.
The lone Lady Cards wrapped up
first place in the East Division of the
Big Sky League with two wins over
the weekend. Getting to the top is
never an easy road as the Lady Car
dinals found out, needing an over
time period on Friday, Feb. 8 to
dispatch Condon. lone ends their
regular season with a 7-2 league
record and a 13-5 overall mark.
As usual, Condon showed up
reaily to play and the Cards had to
throw in multiple three-pointers in
the first quarter to keep up with
them. The half ended with the Blue
Devils holding a one point edge,
29-28. The second half saw several
lead changes as neither team could
establish much of a lead At the end
of regulation, the Cards held a two-
point lead and had the ball in hand
when they committed a turnover and
Condori capitalized, tying the game.
The Blue Devils scored the first two
baskets in overtime but Danielle
Stefani answered with a three-
pointer and Brandi Ball nailed both
ends of a one and one. That one-
point leac carried them to the win.
Nancy Morter was the Card’s high
scorer with 15 points and Kari
Morgan added 13. Mardie Durfey
was the game’s high scorer with 21.
The Cards were outrebounded by the
towering Blue Devils, 37-44. Kari
Morgan led the Card's attack with
10 boards and Wendy Anderson
added eight. Danielle Stefani dish
ed out four assists and Morter and
Morgan each nabbed three steals to
pace the team. The Lady Cardinals
shot 21 of 57 from the floor for 36
percent while Condon was 19 of 64
for 30 percent. At the free throw
line, lone hit eight of 16 for 50 per
cent while Condon was 15 of 27 for
56 percent. The Cards had five
three-pointers in the game with Nan
cy Morter making three and Danielle
Stefani hitting two.
Coach Dana Heideman and the
standing room only crowd at the
lone gym were excited about the
win. ‘We played really w ell," said
Heideman. “ We played good
defense on them and did a good job
on the rebounds against their big
front line.”
He commended Danielle Stefani
and Janie Cupps for their efforts as
well as Brandi Ball for hitting the
clutch free throws He also said that
Kari Morgan played a good game,
especially after sitting out for a week
with an injury.
