Friday, Feb. 12 at Pilot Rock.
The Mustangs started out with
a lackluster effort in the first
quarter. To everyone’s surprise
the Rockets enjoyed a 14-11 lead
after the first quarter was in the
books. Then the real Mustang
team stepped up as they began to
run and gun to 23 points in the
second quarter. The Rockets, on
the other hand, could not put the
ball through the hoop as they
could only manage eight points in
SPECIAL
The Rockets didn’t have a
prayer as the Mustangs kept
building their lead behind Rick
Koffler's game high 19 points.
The Rockets saw themselves
behind 49-29 heading into the

emptied his bench and watched
his team dominate the Rockets.

Killer defense on lone’s part
made Friday night’s 53-25 win
over Condon easier than ex
pected. 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. The Cards kept it going
in the second half as they cruis
ed to the 53-25 victory.
Senior Crystal Minster “ put on
a defensive performance that will
be hard to duplicate,’’ in her final
home game in an lone uniform,
noted coach Dana Heideman. She
also scored six points and had six
assists and two steals.
Melissa McElligott scored a
game-high 18 points. Jamie
Lovett and April Taylor each
added 11 with six of Taylor’s
points coming from outside of the
three-point line in the fourth
quarter. The Cards out rebound
ed the Blue Devils, 38-28, led by
also posted a season-low turnover
total of 13.
Neither team burned up the
nets as lone shot 18 of 56 for 32
percent from the field and Con
don connected on 11 of 42 for 26
percent. At the line, the Lady
Cards shot 15 of 31 for 48 per
cent and Condon was three of
eight for 38 percent.
“ It was a big game for us,”
said coach Heideman. "It was
our best defensive stand of the
year,” he added. Proof of that
was the Cards’ ability to shut
down Condon’s two leading
scorers, Tawna Shannon and
Michelle Greiner. Those two,
who had been averaging close to
30 points a game together, scored
a total of six points. “ Our defense
played well. We denied their out
side shooters and controlled the
boards,” commented coach
Heideman.

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

heading into the halftim e
festivities.

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

they won with im pressive
fashion.
