TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, September 23, 1992 CBC Season preview puts Mustangs Cardinals down Wallowa 32-30 as league champions The Heppner Mustang football squad starts their CBC schedule of games this Friday, Sept. 25 when they play host to the Sher man County Huskies at the Mor row County Fairgrounds. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Following is a look at each team in the Columbia Basin Con ference, their preseason successes and a guess at where they may finish in the seven team league. Sherman County Huskies- The Huskies are back in the CBC after several years in the eight- man Big Sky Conference. The Huskies, from Moro, played for the state title at that level losing to the St. Paul Buckeroos. Sherman County lost heavily to graduation and their returning quarterback, Brandon Jones, transferred to Dufur this fall. Sherman County lost to the Goldendale JV’s in their opener and Wahtonka defeated them 16-6 last week. Although the Huskies have a proud football tradition, they will find the going rough in their first year back. They should finish fifth this year. Weston McEwen TigerScots- The TigerScots were hit hard with graduation and return only three starters for head coach Dan Cogswell. Weston McEwen squeaked by Union 10-8 in their opener and were run over by the Riverside Pirates last week 34-0. Look for the TigerScots to be in the middle of the pack this year at fourth place. Stanfield Tigers-The Tigers are coming off a 3-5 record from last year and early season results aren’t encouraging. Stanfield was shutout by Joseph 14-0 to start the season and lost to Elgin 24-6 last week. Both Joseph and Elgin are lower divi sion Wapiti League teams. New coach Jay Sweifelhofer appears to be in for a long season with his team. Look for the Tigers to finish sixth. Wahtonka Eagles-from the Dalles struggled through a winless season last year with a very young team. Wahtonka. one of the largest schools in the CBC looks to be ready to reverse that trend. Six starters return and the Eagles have already topped last year by besting Sherman County in a nonleague game last week. Watch for a resurgence in foot ball at this school. Wahtonka will be in third place when the year is out. Pilot Rock Rockets-The Rockets return to the league after playing a noncounting eight-man schedule last year. They have another new coach. Perry Sheehan, to lead them this year. It will take several years to return Pilot Rock to prominence in the league. The Rockets lost to Union 29-6 and Imbler 26-6. You’ll likely find the Rockets in the cellar in seventh place. Umatilla Vikings-are back w ith a talented group of players from last years league champs that barely lost to Dayton in the quarterfinals. Enterprise, a Wapiti League team that Umatilla beat in the playoffs last year, opened the season with a 40-12 shellacking of the Vikings. Umatilla got on a winning track with a victory over Imbler 34-6 last week. Look for Umatilla to challenge for the league title again but fall just short at second place. Heppner Mustangs-The Mustangs opened the season with a narrow 3-0 win over the Grant Union Prospectors. They con tinued to improve with a convin cing 21-8 victory over the 3A Riverside Pirates. After a Bye last week Heppner is ready to test the CBC waters with their opener at home against the Sherman County Huskies. It will come down to a late season matchup with the Umatilla Vikings but look for the Mustangs to win that dog fight and the league championship.
