Lady Cards take easy 55-25 win
Pilot Rock hands Mustangs loss
By Jeremy Maddern
The Mustangs slipped a bit this
weekend but still managed a first
place tie with rival Pilot Rock in
the CBC conference. The
Rockets came in town Friday,
Jan. 17 and left with a close nail
biting victory, 50-49.
The Mustangs run and gun of
fense helped them to a 19-10 lead
at the end of the first quarter.
Rick Koffler had the hot hand
early and led the team with 15
points. The Rockets stayed close
in the second quarter and trailed
34-25 at the half.
In the third quarter the
Mustangs fell apart. The Rockets
stormed back with the help of
Jereme Rascisco who poured in
22 points and Cody Thacker who
poured in 21. It turned into a
close game and Heppner held its
slim margin until Rascisco iced
the game with a free throw.
Heppner had another chance
when Charlie Rath bun went to the
line to shoot a one on one.
Rathbun missed but because of a
lane violation he got another
chance but couldn’t converge and
the Mustangs fell short losing
50-49. Heppner was decimated
by poor shooting when the
Mustangs missed 21 of 26 easy
lay ins. The Mustangs also shot
poorly from the line going 9-17.

Lady Cardinal looks for playing room against Cougars
By Jeremy Maddern
The Mustangs took on the Stan
field Tigers Sat., Jan. 18, who
had just been upset by power
house Weston-McEwen. The
fired up Tigers came out and
pounded the Mustangs early and
lead as much as 16. Led by Vance
Crafton a 6’5” center, the Tigers
broke the Mustang press with
easy layins. The Tigers had
everything going their way until
foul trouble came in play. Starter
Brandon Virgil and sixth man
Dean Pollick both picked up four
fouls in the first half. Lucky for
the Tigers the Mustangs shot a
horrid 24-57 at the charity stripe.
The Mustangs fought back
though, when Scott Coe hit a
three-pointer that started a 13-C
run in the fourth quarter. Foul
trouble destroyed the Tigers
chances of winning when six
Stanfield players fouled out in
cluding Vance Crafton who
scored 20 points and Jason
McLintock who chipped in 17.
Heppner tied the game when Rick
Koffler hit one of two free throws
to tie the game with just four
seconds to go. The Mustangs got
the ball back with one second left
but missed a final shot and the
game went into overtime.
Rick Koffler led the Mustang
rally with nine of his 11 points
coming in the fourth quarter.
With most of Stanfield’s starters
on the bench, the Mustangs over
whelmed the Tigers in overtime

outscoring them 13-2. Tony Burt
stepped in for the Mustangs scor
ing six of his 14 points in over
time. Jason Britt led all scorers
with 26 and Scott Coe had 16.
The Mustangs travel to Wasco
County January 25.
