Cards split conference opening games Fillies start league play beating
Wahtonka and Umatilla
By Jeremy Maddern
The Heppner Fillies started
league play with a bang by
beating up on the Wahtonka
Eagles60-29, Friday, Jan. 10, on
the Fillies’ home court.
The Fillies’ defense proved to
be the key as they held the Eagles
scoreless after the first quarter.
The Fillies hammered the Eagles
early, leading 18-0 at the end of
the first quarter, and increased
their lead to 29-10 at the half. 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. The Fillies’ defense was
spectacular in the second half and
they put the Vikings away with
a 62-41 victory. Holly Eckman
led the team in scoring with 13
and sister Heather chipped in with
12.

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.
The next scheduled games are
Saturday, Jan. 25; Feb. 1 and 8.
The season finale will be a tour
nament Feb. 15.

critical factor in the game was at
the free throw line where the
Huskies made 11 of their 18 at

at the line, and made just half of
them.

sibilities, parent support groups,

tion as time permits. A wide

sionals, geared to breaking dow n

The lone Cardinals split their
conference opening games, win
ning at Helix last Friday evening
and falling to Sherman County at
a game played in The Dalles on
Saturday. The games moved their
season mark to 6-3.
It was half way through the
third quarter when the Cardinals
finally put their game together
against Helix on Friday. The
Grizzlies hung tough for the first
half, trailing only by seven at the
half. The Cardinals then picked
up the defensive pressure and
started going to the hoop to start
the turnaround. The Cardinal’s
bench took control in the fourth
quarter to stretch out the 79-54
lead. Mike Garrett led five Car
dinals into double figures with 16
points. Ryan Halvorsen and Gabe
Garcia each had 14, Justin Miller
had 12 and Deacon Heideman
had 10. Garrett stormed the
boards for 18 rebounds as lone
outrebounded Helix, 48-32. He
also paced the team with five
steals and David Wagenblast
dished out 10 assists. Garrett and
Deacon Heideman each had four
blocked shots in the game.
Both teams were fairly accurate
from the floor. lone shot 35 of 75
for 47 percent while Helix hit 25
of 57 for 44 percent. At the line,
the Cards were six of 10 for 60
percent and the Grizzlies were
four of nine for 44 percent.
“ We didn’t play especially
well-we played adequately,”
said coach Del LaRue. He noted
that the team may have been look
ing past Helix after beating them
by 40-plus points the previous
week, but once again, commend
ed his reserves for some fine
play.
Saturday’s game against Con
don was a different story as the
Huskies slowed the game to a
crawl. The Cards led at the end
of the low-scoring first half,
19-16. The third quarter proved
to be the Cardinals undoing
however, when Sherman reeled
