Vikings shut out Mustangs 12-0 Cards end season miss state playoffs
The Umatilla Vikings shut out the
Heppner Mustangs and claimed the
Columbia Basin Conference title
with a 12-0 victory Friday night,
Nov. 1 at the Morrow County
Fairgrounds.
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.
Len Brittner led the Mustangs with
24 defensive points. Linebackers
Travis Greenup and Jason Britt also
were in on many defensive plays

The lone Lady Cardinals narrow
ly missed the chance to advance to
the state volleyball tournament when
they placed third in the district tour
nament held Saturday, Nov. 2 at
Heppner High School.
The Cards faced a must-win situa
tion in their first match where they
met Sherman County in the battle of
the “ number tw os." (lone was the
second place team from the East
Division and Sherman was second
from the West.) A very prepared
Cardinal squad put away Sherman
County in two hotly contested
games, 17-15, 15-13. The games
were close all the way but the lady
Cardinals never really let the
Huskies get the upper hand.
Janie Cupps and Kari Morgan led
lone at the net. Janie was 9-9 in hit
ting with three kills and four stuff
blocks. Kari was also 9-9 with five
kills and three stuff blocks. At the
serve line, Janie Cupps was 10-10
with four aces and eight points. Nan
cy Morter had nine points on 12-12
serving and Morgan was 9-10 with
three aces and seven points. Brandi

10-10 serving.
