By Jeremy Maddern
The Mustangs continued their
basketball season with a 60-57
loss to the Dufur Rangers on Fri
day, Dec. 18 on the Mustangs’
home court. The Mustangs were
coming off a loss to the Riverside
Pirates from the previous Tues
day night and were looking to
even their record 2-2. Both teams
started the basketball season late
with their success in football. The
Rangers showed no signs of it, as
they jum ped all over the
Mustangs, with the help of five
three-point shots from Spencer
Browning. Dufur took an eight
point lead at the end of the first
quarter 19-11.
The Mustangs up tempo of
fense allowed them to catch up
with the Rangers and eventually
take a 36-30 lead into the second
half. However Heppner went
down hill from there. They miss
ed easy shots and the Rangers
took advantage of this capturing
a two point lead going into the
fourth and final quarter.
The Mustangs were their own
worst enemy in the final quarter
as they shot a horrible 1-13 from
the charity stripe. The Rangers
kept pace with the Mustangs the
entire fourth quarter to take

high scorer with 16 points,
followed by Aaron Heideman
with 12. Rob Brown of Enter
prise was the game's high scorer
with 26 points.

third place, and it looked like it
would be close in the first quarter
as Joseph led, 14-13.
The second quarter was all
lone, as the Cards ran off 23
points to their opponents’ four.
The third quarter was much the
same story, with the Cardinals
racking up a 20-6 scoring advan
tage. They then coasted home for
a 68-52 win.
Three Cardinals scored in dou
ble figures. Aaron Heideman
paced the team with 15 followed
by Ryan Halvorsen with 11 and

start. They held the Pioneers to
just one shot as they were getting

claw their way back into the game
in the second quarter as they
outscored the Fillies 13-7 for a
25-20 lead going into the half.
