VT" N *• Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, February 23, 1994 - FIVE Cardinals eke out win in OT Photo by Wayne Hams tone’s Aaron Heideman (34) and Jason Proudfoot work for the ball. By Anne Morter As if the lady Cardinals didn’t provide enough excitement for ' the crowd at the Big Sky Tour nament last Friday, Feb. 18, the boys’ team provided some of their own using an overtime period to eke out a three point victory over Wasco County 61-58, for the District champion ship their third year in a row. From the crowd standpoint, the game was a nail-biter’s special. Jots of excitement and the right result in the end for the Ione fans. From a coach's standpoint, however, it may have been a bit much. ‘‘I was wrung out like a dishrag,” commented coach Del LaRue. A big sign hung on a fence on Buttercreek said “Refuse to Lose”, a strategy the Cardinals apparently took to heart. After trailing for most of the first three quarters and by nine points to start the fourth, the Cards pick ed up the pieces and got back in the thick of things just in time. At the four minute mark, Jason Pro udfoot put the Cards up by one with a three pointer. From then Inspirational Player of the Week on, the lead changed almost every trip down the floor. The Redsides tied up the game on one last bucket and when Jason Halvorsen missed the front end of a one and one, it was on to overtime. The first score in overtime came courtesy of Jake Bacon. Bacon drove the lane and threw in a left-handed lay-in that got the team fired up. “That got us ex cited,” said LaRue. Clutch free throws provided the remainder of the Cardinals’ points. Jared Ashbeck hit two and Wasco came back to tie. Halvorsen hit two and Ashbeck added another with seven seconds left to put away a very deteimined Wasco County squad. Wasco’s big gun, Jason LaFaver, gave the Cards fits, scoring 32 points on the night. Switching from a zone defense in the second half slowed him down some. “We got somebody in front of him and it helped us,” said LaRue. For the Cards, Halvorsen led the scoring with 19 points. Aaron Heideman had 14 and Ashbeck and Proudfoot each had 10. The battle of the boards was almost even with Ione 36 and Wasco 35. Heideman led with 16 followed by Halvorsen with nine and Ashbeck with six including several critical offensive boards in the fourth quarter. Jim Logan paced the team with seven assists and Halvorsen had five steals. Heideman blocked four shots and Halvorsen had three. If it seemed the Cards weren’t shooting up to par, well, they weren’t. After shooting in the high 40’s and mid 50’s last weekend, Ione struggled to 25 of 65 for 38 percent from the field. At the line, they hit nine of 14 for 64 percent. Wasco fared slightly better, making 22 of 53 for 42 percent from the floor and 13 of 18 for 72 percent from the line. “The kids hung in there,” commented LaRue. “They wanted it bad enough and didn’t give up. They did what they had to do. We weren’t having a great game but when the chips were on the table, they came through,” he added.
