Mustangs keep perfect record with 21-8 win over Riverside Pirates
The Heppner Mustangs kept
their season record perfect with
a 21-8 victory over the Riverside
Pirates Friday night. Sept. 11 in
Boardman. A quick start and a
swarming defense helped the
Mustangs get their second victory
without a defeat on the young
season.
After an exchange of punts, the
Mustangs took over on Riversides
48-yard line. Heppner got a first
down and then Chris Dickenson
scrambled over right tackle, pop
ped outside and outraced the
Pirate secondary to the end zone
for a 38 yard touchdown. Dicken
son, a 5' 11 ” 150 lb sophomore,
gained 82 yards on 14 carries on
the evening. Len Brittner added
his first of three pats and Hepp
ner led 7-0 with 2:30 left in the
first period.
The teams exchanged punts
again with Rick Koffler hitting a
50 yarder, pinning the Pirates
back to their 15 yard line. Kof
fler punted for a 39.5 yard
average on the windy night. On
the third play from scrimmage,
defensive end Tony Burt forced
quarterback Mark Andreason to
fumble and the other defensive
end Dwayne Dunaway fell on the
ball at the Riverside 26 yard line.
Seven plays later junior Kevin
Payne ran four yards around the
right end and scored on a diving
effort to the goal line. Payne in
jured his right shoulder and didn't
play for the remainder of the
game. Brittner added the pat and
with 6:26 left in the half Hepp
ner led, 14-0.
The active Heppner defense
stuffed the Riverside offense for
the remainder of the half. Senior
linebackers Shane Munkers and
T.R. Riehl led the defensive
charge with safety Leonard Britt
ner shinning in the defensive
backfield. The entire defensive
front line of Kevin Kilkenny,
back from an early injury, Ryan
Pence, Ryan Munkers, Dunaway
and Burt, worked well as a unit
holding the Pirates to only 81
yards rushing in the half, 43 of
that on one play.
Most fans thought the half was
over and headed for the conces
sion stand when Heppner took
over on their own 38 yard line
with 28 seconds left in the half.
Coach Greg Grant had other
ideas. Koffler hit Brittner with a
40 yard pass to wake the crowd
up. Halfback Jim Tellechea
caught another pass for a 10 yard
gain to move the chains with four
seconds left in the half. Koffler
scrambled right and found Britt
ner in the end zone as time ex
pired for a touchdown. Brittner
added the pat for a 21-0 halftime
lead.
The only offensive fireworks of
the second half happened with
3:45 left in the third quarter.
Senior Jason Sheadel, 6 T ' 222
lbs.), The Riverside fullback pop
ped through the line and ran 50
yards for the Pirates’ only score
of the night. Andreason hit his
receiver in the end zone for a two
point pat for a final score of 21-8.
Riverside threatened once more
inside the final minute of play but
the Mustangs hejd on for the well
earned victory.
Heppner has this week off
before opening CBC play against
the Sherman County Huskies
September 26 at the Morrow
County fairgrounds.
The Mustangs were ranked
seventh in the latest coaches 2A
football poll and their victory
over the 3A Riverside Pirates
should solidify their position or
move them up.

Stock dogs are a valuable asset on a cattle ranch. Our dog. Newt,
with his motley gray hair, lean frame, sad eyes and long nose, isn’t
a dog show winner. But he’s a natural heeler. And when he is work
ing with our son’s border collie, who is a header, they make a for
midable pair.
o
Perhaps these dogs could be listed as “ unmarried domestic part
ners.” However they don’t ask for a lot of fringe benefits. There
are no costly premiums or a deductible for a veterinarian health care
plan.
But Newt doesn’t have a worry about health care expenses. Since
he doesn’t own anything and he is not steadily employed, he should
be eligible for free care under the welfare system. In a worse-case
scenario, he should be treated as royally as any high-bred, well-heeled
pooch or the able-bodied, over-qualified welfare taker.
Newt only begs for a few fringe benefits. He’s content with a lit
tle dog food, a choice morsel or bone, a soft place to sleep and a
pat on the head. Some people might consider him homeless since
he has an aversion to a doghouse. But he's not defensive about his
territory. Quite innocently he’s kind to insurance agents and he even
likes tax assessors.
He’s not the type to wear a rhinestone-studded collar; it’s just a
stringy old cowhide strap. He wouldn’t know what to do with a silky
doggy bed made in Korea. And he really doesn’t care if the televi
sion set is a domestic model or if the pickup radio was made in Japan.
Sometimes Newt is on the job by watching for deer that can trample
fragile riparian zones or ravish apple trees. The coyotes’ howls seem
to tell him is those critters have dined on a pheasant entree or a choice
bite of calf round steak.
He’s a loyal worker that doesn’t receive a cost of living pay in
crease since he isn’t a public employee. He doesn’t belong to a union
that can bargain since his teaching skills are limited to cows and cats.
Like the private business sector, I doubt that he understands a system
that supports a public employment retirement fund while same tax
payers are not able to do likewise.
With lots of room to ramble. Newt isn't concerned about over
crowding, the growing population of man and dogs or the struggles
of young working families. But his family values--today’s buzz words-
-do seem rather narrow. He doesn’t seem to care who is living with
whom or whether any visiting canines are gay or sad.
As long as his dog pan holds a few choice morsels, he doesn't care
if increasing food growing production costs put a higher tab on his
chow. Only the wind ruffles his hair, not paying bills and staying
in business.
Newt is a very modem dog, however. He is environmentally con
scious and he is fully aware of which areas need natural fertilizer.
A true protector of endangered species, not once did he molest a cot
tontail bunny family that shared my garden this summer. And while
flopped on his back, like a cast-out worn-out rug, a large ugly toad
hopped right over his long nose.
This dog’s lifestyle is somewhat lax. But to me, he isn’t anymore
asleep at the switch than our ‘do-gooder’ law and rule makers-those
that spend more efforts on moral issues rather than getting a handle
on things that are causing an economic disaster.
