TigerScots claim league championship end Mustang winning streak 25-14
The
W eston-M cEw en
TigerScots beat the Heppner
Mustangs in the trenches and that
translated into a 25-14 victory
over the visiting Mustangs last
Friday, Oct. 29 at Athena. The
win clinched the league cham
pionship for Weston-McEwen in
the CBC and brings on a must
win situation for Heppner Friday
night Nov. 5 at the fairgrounds
in Heppner, as they face the
Umatilla Vikings for a spot in the
OSAA 2A football playoffs. The
winner will travel to Vale to face
the Vale Vikings, the winners of
the Wapiti league for the fourth
year in a row.
The Mustangs brought a huge
contingent of fans to Athena to
cheer them on. It took the
i ’gerScots only four plays to let
the Mustangs know they were for
real. Senior halfback Chet Mills
broke over left tackle and cut
right leaving Mustang tacklers
grabbing for air as he raced for
a 61 yard touchdown gallop to put
them up 6-0. The pat was
blocked.
Meanwhile the Mustangs were
going three plays and punt as they
were having a difficult time figur
ing out the TigerScot defense.
Weston-McEwen scored on its
first possession in the second
quarter on a 10 play 55 yard
drive, all on the ground. Mills did
most of the damage with five runs
for 27 yards. He gained 144 yards
on 23 carries for the evening.
Halfback Tony Minkler punched
it over from the one yard line
with 7:18 left in the half. The pat
run was no good and it was 12-0.
Heppner finally got a drive go
ing with their next possession.
The big play was a 43 yard
Hanker pass from Len Brittner to
Chris Dickenson. Kevin Payne
and Jim Tellechea packed the ball
close to the goal line and Rick
Koffler used two quarterback
sneaks to bring the Mustangs
within six. The pat was short and
it was 12-6 at the half.
The TigerScots used their first
possession of the second half to
extend their lead. The nine play
57 yard drive was all on the
ground and they led 19-6 after
quarterback Jerrod Steele ran into
the end zone with 5:30 left in the
quarter.
Heppner came right back and
answered the TigerScots with a
66 yard scoring drive of their
own. The Mustangs used two
trick plays to do the damage.
Halfback Chris Dickenson hit
quarterback Koffler with a 35
yard pass completion to advance
the Mustangs. Dickenson then hit
Brittner with a 28 yard scoring
pass with 1:33 remaining in the
third quarter. Koffler hit Brittner
in the end zone for the pat and
Heppner was down only 19-14
heading into the fourth quarter.
W eston-M cEw en put the
Mustangs in a hole with a punt to
the Heppner three yard line with
8:18 left in the game. The
Mustangs couldn't move the ball
and with 6:39 left, went for a
Cardinals lose tough
game to Condon Devils
fourth and three. They were stuff
ed and the TigerScots took over
on the Mustang 12 yard line.
The Mustangs dodged one
bullet when a Steele touchdown
run was called back on a holding
penalty. They dodged another
when Brittner intercepted a Steele
pass, Brittner’s second pick of the
night.
The Mustangs last possession
ended with a Chet Mills pass in
terception with 4:18 remaining.
The TigerScots scored a clinching
touchdown on a Steele run to
make the final margin 25-14.

The lady Cardinals closed out
the week with 7-15, 8-15 loss to
the number one team from the
east side, Dufur. The Cards
started the game looking tough
but after a couple of blocks, they
became intimidated and tentative.
Dufur took advantage of the
situation to play one of their best
games all season.
Jamie Lovett had a good game
for the lady Cards, playing the net
aggressively with eight of nine
hitting and five kills.
