Both teams looked jittery in the first quarter, but the Lady Cards turned a 6-2 first quarter lead into a 22-9 advantage by halftime.

Those two, who had been averaging close to 30 points a game together, scored a total of six points. “ Our defense played well.

Candis Marshall defends against Rockets By Jeremy Maddern The Heppner Fillies won another leaue game with an im pressive 52-33 win over the Pilot Rock Rockets last Friday, Feb. 12 in Pilot Rock. The Fillies came out shooting the ball well and combined with a stingy defense, they doubled Pilot Rock’s score with an 18-9 lead after a quarter of play. The Fillies then went cold from the field in the second quarter as they could only muster eight points. The Rockets were having troubles of their own as they could not take advantage of the Fiftie's cold shooting as they trailed 26-20 Photo by Joyce Hughes heading into the halftim e festivities. Kelsie Evans took over the third quarter and with a charged up offense the Fillies went on to outscore the Rockets 16-6 as they extended their lead to 16 points heading into the fourth and final quarter. The Rockets never got close, as they watched their hopes of an upset disintegrate. The Fillies ran away with the game as they won with im pressive fashion.
