the Fillies scoring 13 of the 15
points. In the third game the
Fillies just couldn't pull it off los
ing the game and the match,
11-15.

ly freshmen and sophomores
from the C-team were too tired
from playing the previous three
games and lost both games 14-16.
11-15.
The Union players, fired up
and ready to play battled the
Fillies varsity team. Union was
too strong for the Fillies beating

Fillies win two, lose one in tournament
The Heppner Fillies traveled to
Athena on Sept. 27 to play in an
all-important tournament featur
ing teams from the powerful
Wapiti league. Heppner, recent
ly rated ninth in a 2A state
volleyball coaches poll, captured
fourth place out of the eight team
format, winning two matches and
losing one.
The Fillies had their work cut
out for them, taking on highly
touted Imbler in their firsunorn-
ing match. Heppner started out
a bit sluggish receiving serves
during the first game and the Pan
thers easily wrapped it up, 15-7.
Game two provided a different
story as the Fillies and Panthers
went point for point through
many rotations. Setter Jodi
Johnston, running the offense,
had help with accurate passing
from Kelsie Evans. They were
rounded out with strong middle
hits for kills by Holly Eckman.
Heppner held solid at 10-7 before
losing momentum to Imbler’s
hard serving and hitting. Imbler
then turned on the coal at the ser-
vice line, producing Filly
mistakes. Imbler took the game
and match 15-7.

stifling defense and great field
position to start their CBC season
out right with a 44-14 win over
the Sherman County Huskies Fri
day, Sept. 25 at the Morrow
County Fairgrounds.
The stifling defense came in the
form of overall team defense, but
more particularly seniors Kevin
Kilkenny, T.R. Riehl and Shane
Munkers.

challenge Elgin. Jodi Johnston set
the stage with good serving and
a 4-0 lead, followed by Jenny
Kreins' dink kill. Elgin began to
fight back to tie it up 4-4. Sara
Greenup steadied things back at
6-6. but Elgin started a roll and
built a 12-7 lead. The Fillies,
rebuilding a new varsity team, us

sophomores in court action to ral

work by players had Heppner
gaining advantage. Down 14-10.
Sara Greenup, w ith a consistent
serving arm, took control and
carried out a 16-14 win over
Elgin.
In game two, Heppner raced
out on top w ith excellent serving
and Elgin’s receiving errors to
quickly lead 13-0. In a turn of
events, the Fillies had a series of
mental errors and a lapse that
brought Elgin roaring back for 11
points. Heppner finally regrouped
to win the game and match,
15-11.
The third match featured the
Columbia Basin rivals Heppner
and Weston-McEwen. Weston-
McEwen, also in a rebuilding
situation, lost many quality
athletes due to graduation last
spring. The first game took off in
a sluggish manner as fatigue
began to set in for both teams
with many unforced errors and
mistakes. Neither team could
grab the momentum with the
score seesaw ing. W eston-

long game. 17-15.

Sharp showed leadership in win

15-7 win to beat Athena.
