The Heppner Mustangs kept
their perfect record in league play
with a 77-46 victory over the
Wahtonka Eagles in The Dalles
last Saturday, Jan. 30.
The Mustangs had beaten the
Eagles earlier this season with
great ease. This time it was no
different as the Mustangs crush
ed the Eagles. Heppner was
unstoppable as they have been all
year long. The Mustangs rolled
to a 22-13 lead in the first quarter.
The Eagles could not stop Hepp-
ners big men Len Brittner and
Tony Burt who each turned in a
20 point performance. The
Mustangs showed no signs of let
ting up as they went on to a 41 -22
lead at the half. The Mustangs
defense was stellar as they kept
every Eagle player in check as
their leading scorer could only
muster 11 points. The Mustangs
were showing the Eagles why
they are the best team in the
league as they extended their lead
to 28 by outscoring the Eagles
20-11 in the third quarter.
With the big lead head coach
Lee Padberg emptied his bench.
Heppner’s bench proved to be
better than the Eagle starters as
they outscored them 16-13 in the
fourth and final period of play en
ding the game 77-46.
The Mustangs are now 6-0 in
league play and 9-3 overall. The
pivotal game of the season is this
Friday, Feb. 5, for the Mustangs
as they take on the Weston-
McEwen TigerScots for the
number one spot in the league.
The TigerScots are the only other
undefeated team in league play.
Game time is approximately 7:30
p.m. following the girls varsity.
PGE to develop co-gen facility
Portland General Electric Co.
(PGE) has applied for a site cer
tificate, with the Oregon Energy
Facility Siting Council (EFSC)
and the Oregon Deparment of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) to
develop the proposed Coyote
Springs Cogeneration Facility at
the Port of Morrow Industrial
Park, located along the Colum
bia River in Morrow County.
“ Coyote Springs provides us
an exciting opportunity to move
forward with least-cost energy
ODtions to meet our customers’
needs. Cogeneration, along with
our a|gressive energy efficiency
and renewable resource plans,
will help replace a portion of the
Trojan Nuclear Plant’s output as
well as meet future growth in our
region,” says Dick Reiten, PGE
president. “ We appreciate the
support and cooperation that we
have received from the Port of
Morrow and the city of Board-
man to bring the project to this
stage.”
The proposed 440-megawatt
Coyote Springs plant will serve
two needs for the region. It will
provide steam to the Port of Mor
row Industrial Park, which is
home to several large food pro
cessing plants requiring large
amounts of steam for their opera
tions. It will also generate elec
tricity for PGE customers and
help diversify PGE’s resource
base.
Currently, natural gas is used
to generate only steam at the
park. Through cogeneration,
natural gas can be used to
generate both steam for food pro
cessing as well as electricity in a
highly efficient, cost-effective
manner while using less natural
gas than if both steam and elec
tricity were produced separately.
“ Coyote Springs is an ideal
project for our overall develop
ment plan,” says Gary Neal, Port
of Morrow General manager.
“ The steam will not only make
our present food processors more
competitive, but will help us at
tract new industries. The Port of
Morrow is proud to have played
a pivotal role in bringing the pro
ject to this point,” Neal added.
Through the state permitting
process started with this applica
tion, PGE will demonstrate that
the proposed Coyote Springs pro
ject will be built and operated in
accordance with all Federal and
State laws related to siting, safe
ty, and the protection of the en
vironment. Approximately two
years of construction would
follow receipt of the site cer
tificate. anticipated within a year
of this application.
On Friday, January 15, PGE
requested firm transportation
space with Pacific Gas Transmis
sion, a privately owned and
operated natural gas supplier to
the region, which would support
the proposed Coyote Springs
project.

The Heppner Fillies, coming
off their first loss of the season
barely squeaked by the Wahtonka
Eagles with an overtime win in
a league game last Saturday, Jan.
30. The Fillies beat the Eagles on
the Eagle’s home court 38-33.
The Fillies had humiliated the
Eagles in a game earlier in the
season but were taken to the limit
again as they were taken into
overtime once again. The Fillies
managed to pull off the win to
avoid their second loss of the
season. Heppner looked as they
were going to kill the Eagles as
their defense held the Eagles to
just two points for a 9-2 lead. The
Fillies’ offense was uanble to get
going due to the slow pace the
Eagles established early in the
game. The pace was to the Eagles
advantage as they came within
four points of the Fillies, heading
into the second half.

The Fillies were frustrated as
the Eagles held on to the ball one
to two minutes each time down
the court as they were neutraliz
ing the Fillies fast break. With
their game plan the Eagles led by
one point heading into the fourth
quarter. The Fillies then dug
themselves a hole, but came back
to tie the game and send it to
overtime.
The Fillies had new confidence
and it showed as they squeaked
out a win. The Fillies were led by
Kelsie Evans who had 13, follow
ed by Holly Eckman who chip
ped in 10.
The Fillies are now 5-1 in
league play and 11-1 overall. The
Weston-McEwen TigerScots are
their next opponent in a pivotal
league game. The TigerScots are
the only undefeated team in
league play. The TigerScots will
play in Heppner Friday, February
5.
