well,” he added.
Rietmann called the game “ a lit

cond touchdown of the quarter from
17 yards out just before the half
Brittner was perfect with the pat to
make the score 40-7 at intermission.
The story of the second half was
the good defense of the younger
M ustangs. Sophomore Truitt
Greenup put on a clinic at linebacker
with some of the best hits of the
season against the Eagles. He finish
ed with five solo tackles, five
assisted tackles and a quarterback
sack.
However, easily the highlight of
the second half was the play that got
freshman Bill Schlaich a helmet full
of decals. Schlaich stepped in front
of a weak pass from his defensive
end position and intercepted it. He
kicked it into high gear and sprinted
55 yards for a touchdown. Schlaich
also had a sack and two other
tackles. He was mobbed on the
sidelines after the play.
Each team scored on a long
touchdown pass in the second half.
Oaks hit Robbie McCraw with a
75-yard bomb for the Eagles.
Sophomore quarterback Kevin
Payne hit Brittner with a 55-yard
touchdown pass to complete the
Mustang scoring parade.
The win brings the Mustangs CBC
record to 2-0 and their season record
to 4-1. The Mustangs travel to 1m-
bler for a nonleague game Friday,
Oct. 18 and face their third Wapiti
league opponent of the season. Game
time is 2 p.m.
Heppner closes out the regular
season with a pair of big home con
tests against Weston-McEwen and
Umatilla. Those games will deter
mine the Mustangs’ post season
plans.

The Heppner Mustangs kept their
Columbia Basin Conference league
mark perfect with an easy 52-13 vic
tory over the Wahtonka Eagles in
The Dalles, Thursday night, Oct.
10.
The game had a familiar script
with the Mustangs scoring early and
often against the young but deter
mined Eagles. Heppner scored with
only four minutes gone on a seven-
yard slant pass from Rick Kofflerto
Jason Britt. The big play of the short
drive was a 33-yard ramble by Jim
Kindle, the Mustangs powerful
senior running back. Len Brittner
was short on the pat and Heppner
led, 6-0.
Kindle hit paydirt twice in the first
quarter on runs of 25 yards and
seven yards, capping short Mustang
drives. Koffler and Brittner each hit
a pat and the score was 20-0 at the
first quarter break.
The Mustang defense was suf
focating the smaller and slower
Eagles. Senior linebacker Travis
Greenup led the defensive charge
with a fumble recovery and four
unassisted tackles. Junior Tony Burt
had his best game of the season at
defensive end with two quarterback
sacks and tackle Kevin Kilkenny also
had a big game on the line.
The first team offense scored
another 20 points in the second
quarter. Junior Scott Coe scored on
a 19-yard touchdown run to start the
quarter after a fumble recovery gave
the Mustangs great field position.
Koffler kicked the pat for a 27-0
Heppner lead.
Wahtonka interrupted the Mustang
scoring parade with a nice 69-yard
12-play scoring drive. Quarterback
Troy Oaks threw 12 yards to Rob
bie McCraw for the score and the pat
was good to bring the Eagles to a
27-7 deficit.
Fullback Charlie Rathbun burst up
the middle for a seven-yard
touchdown with five minutes left in
the half. Kofflers pat was blocked
and it was 33-7. Coe scored his se
