Both Heppner teams came up
short this weekend at the Mac-Hi
Tournament with the Mustangs
taking second place and the
Fillies third.
The girls opened the tourna
ment Friday, Dec. 13, against
host Mac-Hi hoping for a win to
turn around what has been an
average season so far. The Fillies
jumped out of the gates early and
led at the end of the first quarter,
13-6. In the second quarter the
Fillies fell apart and were
outscored 15-4. By halftime,
however, they only trailed 21-17.
The Fillies were behind at one
point of the game by 10 points but
stormed back, sparked by great
defense. The Fillies kept chipp
ing away at the lead but fell short,
losing 33-31. Heppner allowed
only two points in the fourth
quarter but managed to shoot only
25 percent the whole game. Holly
Eckman led the Fillies with 11
points.
The Fillies would face Enter
prise, who lost earlier to Dayton,
55-47, on Saturday.
The Fillies responded to their
loss to Mac-Hi on Saturday with
an impressive win against Enter
prise to start the tournament’s se
cond day. Led by Holly Eckman,
who scored 23 points and was
named to the all tournament team,
the Fillies shot an unbelievable 50
percent from the floor. Helped by
the Savages’ poor shooting from
the line, the Fillies went on to
post an impressive victory winn
ing 60^*6 and a third place spot.

The Mustangs went into the
Mac-Hi Christmas Tournament
Dec. 13 and 14 with an undefeated
record and a three-game winning
streak. They didn’t disappoint,
with a 59-55 win over host
Mac-Hi.
The Mustangs jumped to an
early and big lead with a 44-26
halftime score. The game look
ed like a blowout but the
Mustangs eventually saw them
selves fighting for their lead
they had built. The Pioneers
outscored the Mustangs 20-8, in
the third quarter and 9-7 in the
fourth, but the Mustangs held on
for the win and a spot in the finals
against Enterprise, who had
earlier beat Dayton, 71-40.
Jason Britt led the Mustangs
with 14 points and Rick Koffler
was a close second with 13.
The Mustangs didn’t fare quite
as well as the Fillies did in their
fight for the top spot as they lost
to Enterprise, 85-56. Heppner
found themselves matched up to
one of the tallest teams in the
state, led by Nathon Locke, a
6’9” senior. Enterprise jumped
out to an early lead and never
looked back. The Mustangs
played with pride but Enterprises
size advantage was too much.
Ryan Currin led the Mustangs
with 13 points followed by Len
Brittner who had nine.
Sophomore Rick Koffler was
named to the all tournament team.
Other scores on the day were
Dayton, 48, Mac-Hi, 36 in the
girls’ final and Dayton, 53, Mac-
Hi, 44 in the boys’ consolation
round.
