The Fillies did not let up and outscored the Eagles, 20-7, in the fourth quarter and won bigtime, 60-29. Heather and Holly Eckman led the Fillies with 10 and 12 points respectively. The Fillies then traveled to Umatilla to play the Vikings in an important league game. The Fillies jumped to an early lead and held onto a 29-22 lead at the half.

Mike Garrett (44) fights for a rebound Colt basketball features fast paced action for kids Heppner’s Colt Basketball pro gram completed its second week of games Saturday, Jan. 4. The weekend winners were the Bruins, Bears, Trojans and Ducks in close games. Colt basketball features fourth, fifth and sixth grade boys and girls who make up eight teams. A total of 89 players are par ticipating this year. 41 girls and 48 boys. Each team has 11 players except the Cougars who have 12. Rules require that the most ex perienced half of the team play the second and fourth quarters with the beginners playing first and third quarters. Doubleheader games are played Saturday mor nings in both the high school and junior high gyms. The games are usually very fast paced and wild. “ If you’re tired of Saturday mor ning cartoons, try a Colt Basket ball game for some real entertain ment,” said a spokesperson. After a two week bye the next games will be Jan. 25 beginning at 9 a.m. The Colt program was started in 1974 by Jim Ackley and featured about 35 players with jr high students as coaches. Par ticipation has grown steadily over the years. Since 1976 the teams have been coached primarily by adults with assistance of high school ball players. Dave Gunderson took over the program in 1979 when Ackley moved. The primary goal of the pro gram is to get youngsters in terested in participating in team activities. Sportsmanship and discipline are stressed and players are able to learn the basic rules of basketball and the flow of the game. Practice space is not available so the games serve as the learning grounds. It’s not un common to see the referees doing as much time teaching as they do calling the game. This years coaches feature A1 Scott and Joyce Hughes with the Cardinals; Rick Johnston with the Beavers; Gary Watkins and John Boyer, the Trojans; Jerry Healy and Ryan Currin, the Bears; George Waterland and John McCabe, the Huskies; Barry Munkers and Ken Eckman, the Cougars; Gary Schonbachler and Doug Dubuque, the Bruins and Rick Koffler and Bob Ployhar the Ducks.
