The loss sends the Mustangs on the road Saturday, November 9 to visit the Vale Vikings, the top-rated 2A school in the state. Heppner was a step slow and not sharp as they turned the ball over five times on the night to kill any chance they had to repeat as the league champs. It was a hard hitting contest all the way. The Mustangs stuffed the first possession of the Vikings but fumbl ed away their first opportunity with the ball. The Vikings drove 60 yards with their next possession and had a first and goal from the Mustangs' four-yard line. Four times in a row the Mustang front line stopped dives into the line and the great goal line stand gave Heppner the ball with 99 yards to paydirt. The Mustangs best drive of the night followed. Scott Coe broke through and sprinted 50 yards to the Viking 35-yard line to ignite the smaller than expected crowd. A Jim Kindle run and a late hit gave Hepp ner the ball inside the 20 yard line. Heppners drive stalled with a motion penalty and a holding penalty. Umatilla took the ball and ran 70 yards on seven plays to score the on ly points they would need on this clear and cold night. Sophomore running back Brian Pursifull had runs of 23 yards and 15 yards and senior running back Tony Woolridge rambled 10 yards for the touchdown with 8:51 left in the half for a 6-0 lead. The pat snap was fumbled. Scott Coe gave Heppner great field possession with a kickoff return out to the Viking 46-yard line. The return was aided by another late hit. Four plays later Heppner fumbled to end the threat. The teams traded punts two more times before halftime. The Mustangs dug themselves a big hole on the first possession of the second half when a fake punt backfired and the Vikings took over on the Mustang 35 yard line. It took only five plays for senior quarter back Rusty Green to hit Mike Pells for a 17 yard touchdown pass. The pat was no good but Umatilla led 12-0 with 7:28 left in the quarter. Both teams exchanged punts and Heppner had two drives stopped by interceptions. The last drive for the Mustangs stalled inside the one-yard line with time running out.
