TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, September 9, 1992 Mustangs break, start string with win over Grant Union Prospectors Photo by Joyce Hughes The Heppner Mustangs broke and started a string Friday night. Sept. 4, as they struggled past the Grant Union Prospectors, 3-0, in the season opener for both teams on the Mustangs home field. The string they broke was a series of losses to the sports teams from John Day in football, basketball and baseball dating back to the Chuck Starr era in the mid 1980's for their last win. (If hat isn't right. I'm sure we’ll hear about it.) The string the Mustang grid- ders started was a winning streak for this talented and hard playing group of young men. The score indicated a fierce defensive struggle but there was plenty of offensive fireworks to go around on this crisp autumn night. The Mustangs were in tercepted on their first series of downs but held the Prospectors and benefitted from a punt of -1 yards, setting the Mustangs up on Grant Union’s 17-yard line. Three plays lost four yards and with 6:09 remaining in the first quarter, junior Len Brittner. out of the hold of Kevin Payne, split the uprights with a 38-yard field goal for the only score of the game.
