lose to Vikings
Fillies lose close game By Fillies
Jeremy Maddern
to Panthers, end season
By Jeremy Maddern
The Heppner Fillies’ season
came to an end Saturday, March
6 at the Regional Tournament
held in LaGrande as they took a
hard fought 44-43 loss from the
Imbler Panthers. The two teams
were playing each other for the
final berth in the state 2A girls
tournament. The Fillies lost on
Friday to the Vale Vikings while
the Panthers hammered the Sher
man Union Huskies.
The Fillies and the Panthers
battled through the game as the
lead changed eight times. The
Fillies’ pressure defense caused
some early turnovers in the first
quarter as they took a 14-9 lead
into the second quarter. The Pan
thers regrouped their efforts and
began chipping at the Fillies’
lead. The Fillies held tough and
were tied with the Panthers after
two quarters of play were in the
books.
The Fillies were having success
with their defense as they shut
down Imbler’s top gun Lisa
Rasmussen, who was held to just
six points, all made from the
charity stripe, the entire game.
Rasmussen had scored 37 against
the Sherman Union Huskies the
night before.
The Fillies came out slow in the
third quarter as the Panthers
jumped out to an early lead. The
Panthers extended their lead to
three points heading into the final
quarter of play. The Fillies went
cold from the field as the Panthers
extended their lead. With four
minutes left the Panthers enjoyed
a seven point lead, behind the ef
fort of Gina Porfily as she finish
ed the game with 21 points. The
Fillies’ offense caught on fire, as
they scrapped their way back in
to the game. Heppner went on a
run that was capped by a Jodi
Johnston three pointer. With six
seconds left, the Fillies got the
ball back and trailed by one.
Kelsie Evans, who finished with
15 points, dribbled the length of
the floor and managed to get a
shot off from the free throw line
but it rimmed out and the Imbler
Panthers extended their season
with a 44-43 victory. Jenny Krein
and Sara Greenup each added
eight points for the Fillies. The
Fillies finished the season with an
18-4 record and will only lose one
senior.
The Heppner Fillies speed and
quickness was not enough as they
lost to the taller and stronger Vale
Vikings 56-35 in the Regional
Tournament held in LaGrande
March 5 and 6.
The Fillies came out cold and
the Vikings racked up five points
before the Fillies could get on the
score board. The Vikings then
went on an 8-0 run to increase
their lead to 14-8 after a quarter
of play. Things only got worse
for the Fillies as they were ice
cold from the field but Heppners
defensive pressure kept the game
from being a blowout.
The Vikings slowed the game
down and the Fillies trailed by
eight points at the half. The third
quarter was no different as the
Fillies were unable to catch the
more powerful Viking team.
Michelle Wescot a 6’ senior, lead
the Viking attack as she scored a
game high 23 points.
The Fillies were unable to stay
with Vale as the Vikings took a
14 point lead into the final
quarter. The Vikings dominated
the boards and it showed as the
smaller Fillies were out rebound
ed 46-23 in the entire game. The
Fillies gave a final effort in the
fourth quarter as they went on a
5-0 run but their dream of a state

Mustangs season ends
with big loss to Vikings
By Jeremy Maddern
The Heppner Mustangs saw
their season end as a result of a
61-42 loss to the Vale Vikings in
the Regional Tournament at
LaGrande on Friday, March 5.
The Vikings advanced to play the
W eston-M cEwen TigerScots
while the Mustangs went home.
The Mustangs came out with
intensity, staying with the Vik
ings with their up tempo offense
in the first quarter. The Vikings
jumped out to an early lead but
it was soon erased as the
Mustangs went on a 12-4 run to
lead 19-15 after the first quarter
of play.
The Vikings then took over as
Jeremy Johnson ripped a couple
of treys and Larry Ramirez 6’6 ”
got some easy inside baskets. The
Mustangs were overwhelmed in
the second quarter as they were
outscored 18-5 and trailed by nine
points heading into the half.
The third quarter looked as the
Mustangs would make a run at
the Vale lead but the Vikings built
a bigger lead. Heppner cut the
lead to 12 points after three
quarters of play. Kevin Payne hit
the first shot of the quarter as he
went on to score seven points, but
it didn’t matter as the Vikings
were to powerful with their size.
Ramirez hit a couple of key lay
ins as he scored 19 points and was
outmatched only by his teammate
Jeremy Johnson, who went on to
score 23. Rick Koffler paced the
Mustangs with 15.
The Mustangs finished the
season 16-6 and a second place
finish at the District Tournament.
The Mustangs suffered key in
juries to Tony Burt and Dwayne
Dunaway but still finished on a
successful note.
