Fillies barely pull out Stanfield win Fillies hand TigerScots first league loss
By Jeremy Maddern
The Heppner Fillies survived
a scare as they barely pulled out
a come-from-behind 38-35 win
over the Stanfield Tigers last
Saturday, Feb. 6.
The Fillies had beaten the
Tigers by 15 points earlier in the
season but got all they could han
dle this go-around. The Tigers
jumped all over the Fillies in the
first quarter to take a 13-7 lead
into the second quarter. The
Fillies turned the ball over 12
times while the Tigers shot a
scorching 50 percent from the
field in the first quarter.
It didn’t look good for the
Fillies as they could not get the
ball in the hole throughout the se
cond quarter, but with their
defensive pressure they managed
to keep within the lead. The
Tigers could only muster six
points in the second quarter but
still had a 19-13 lead heading in
to the half.
The Fillies came out fired up
as they quickly erased the six
point lead with a big effort from
Kelsie Evans who scored seven
of her 15 points in the third
quarter as the Fillies tied the
game up heading into the fourth
and final quarter of play.

The dominance of the Weston-
McEwen TigerScots has come to
an end. The Heppner Fillies
handed the TigerScot girls their
first league loss since 1989 with
a 52-42 win last Friday, Feb. 5
in Heppner.
The Fillies came out in the first
quarter and swarm ed the
TigerScots with their press to take
a 17-6 lead in the first quarter.
The TigerScots were overwhelm
ed by the press as they turned the
ball over seven times and shot a
horrible three for 16 from the
field in the first quarter.

press by the second quarter but

Mustangs increase league record 8-0
By Jeremy Maddern
The Mustangs increased their
league recored to 8-0 after a win
over the Stanfield Tigers last
Saturday, Feb. 6. The Mustangs
were coming off an intense win
over the W eston-M cEwen
TigerScots the previous night.
It was an offensive show in the
first quarter as the Tigers kept up
with the Mustangs fast break of
fense but still saw themselves
trailing by four points after one
period of play was over..
Both teams slowed it down in
the second quarter as the defense
played a big role. The Mustangs
were cold shooting in the second
quarter but still maintained a six
point lead going into the third
quarter. Then they went really
cold as they could only muster 10
points in the entire period.
The defense was tough, as they
shut the Tigers down and allow
ed only eight points in the third
period to take an eight point lead
into the final period of play.
The fourth quarter belonged to
the Mustangs, though, as they
were scoring at will behind Rick
Koffler who had a game-high 24
points. The M ustangs put
together an offensive show
throughout the quarter while the
Stanfield Tigers were unable to
stall them. The Mustangs’ offen
sive punch was too much as they
rolled to a 69-48 win over the

In December, the U.S. Food

injection, a new type o f medicine

the manufacturer, it is anticipated
that the injection will not be avail
able for general use in the United
States until late March. The oral
tablet form o f the drug is still being
evaluated. Sumatriptan works at
serotonin receptors in the brain.
The primary effect is constriction

thought that the dilation o f these

In a large study o f over 600
patients, a single 6 milligram in

produced headache relief in 50
percent o f those in the study group
within 30m inutes; in 70percent in
60 minutes; and in approximately
90 percent o f patients within two
hours. In addition, those in the
study group experienced improved
relief of other migraine symptoms
such as nausea and vomiting. The
most frequently reported side effect
o f the injection has been redness
and pain at the injection site.
Sumatriptan injection will be
distributed in single-dose vials and
a self-dose system with an injector
and prefilled syringes. Instructions
will be provided so that patients can
give their own injections. The drug is
not recommended for prevention of
migraine.
