Heppner running back Chris Dickenson (33) picks up some of the 65 yards he gained against Elgin. The Heppner Mustangs kept their 1993-94 football season record perfect with a 19-6 win over the Elgin Huskies at the Morrow County Fairgrounds Fri day night. Sept. 17. It wasn’t easy as the senior dominated roster of the Huskies gave the Mustangs everything they wanted for the first half of play. The Mustangs almost broke on top as Rick Koffler and Leonard Brittner teamed up for a 78 yard scoring play on the Mustangs’ first possession. The play was nullified by a motion penalty. Elgin opened the scoring with a nine yard pass from quarterback Casey Hallgarth to halfback Trever Heighes with 3:04 re maining in the first quarter. The 10 play drive was highlighted by a 17 yard gain by Heighes and a fourth down completion from Hallgarth to George Clarno. Meanwhile the Mustangs were self destructing with Koffler throwing three interceptions and the Elgin defense stopping the Mustang ground game. The Huskies, aided by some sloppy tackling, pushed the Mustangs around the field for the f remainder of the half, halfbacks Heighes and Garrett Clark ripped off big gains with their hard run ning. Clark gained 90 yards on 19 carries and Heighes had 77 yards on 12 carries. Coach Monte Nash got greedy just before the half and it cost him. Elgin took over the ball on their own 15 yard line with 1:15 remaining in the half. After an 11 yard gain by Clark, Hallgarth was intercepted by safety Leonard Brittner who returned the ball to the Elgin six yard liine with the help of an unsportsmanlike con duct penalty on the Huskies. Senior halfback Jim Tellechea needed only two running plays to put the ball into the end zone. The pat was wide and Heppner went into the locker room with a 6-6 tie. Whether it was the halftime talk, better conditioning or a fired up bunch of Mustangs we’ll never know, but Heppner dominated the second half. Elgin ran only 14 plays in the second half and were the vicfims of better blocking, tackling and running by the Mutangs. Running backs Kevin Payne and Chris Dickenson, were run- ning with authority on a 15 play drive that took eight minutes of the fourth quarter. Payne gained 81 yards on 16 carries and Dickenson, seeing his first action of the season, had 65 yards on 13 carries. Payne scored from seven yards out on a sweep from the double wing formation for a 12-6 lead. The pat was wide again. On the ensuing kickoff, Koffler squibbed a kick off a Husky blocker and the M ustangs recovered the ball. The Mustangs used the balance of the game on a nine play drive that ended with % \ y * I The Heppner Coordinating Council meeting scheduled for September 28 has been cancell ed.
