*• Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, March 2, 1994 - THREE Mustangs defeat TigerScots 60-47 The Mustangs were out to get revenge, Saturday, Feb. 26, for a disappointing loss to the TigerScots in last years District championship game. But the game started as anything but revenge. The TigerScots came out blaz ing and the Mustangs were a lit tle flat. Weston-McEwen was on fire for the first four minutes of the first quarter. Two baskets by 6’7” sophomore Bill Albert and three point bombs by Louie Quaempts and Curt Sloan staked Weston-McEwen to a 19-5 lead and the Mustangs were left stunned. Coach Lee Padberg changed defenses, som ething the Mustangs would do several times during the game, and pressed the T igerS cots. Suddenly the momentum changed. The Mustangs got back into the game and trailed only 27-24 at the halftime break. The second half was all Mustangs. Heppner had several six and eight point runs and coach Dwayne Dunlap had used all his timeouts early in the fourth quarter. Rick Koffler, the most valuable player of the district tournament, led the Mustangs with 21 points on 7-14 from the field and 4-6 from the charity stripe. Koffler also added six rebounds. Seniors Joe Healy and Sam Sumner dominated inside and outside.

He finished with 14 points. Sumner was a perfect 6-6 from the field and owned the backboards with eight rebounds. He also added four steals. The silent hero of the game might have been point guard Trent Hughes. He faced Curt Sloan defensively and held him to only seven points. Hughes played 31 minutes and set up the offense and added eight assists. Len Britt- ner had nine points and six assists on the evening. The TigerScots were led by Louie Quaempts with 10 points. Mustangs beat Huskies, clinch spot The Mustangs clinched a spot in the Regional Tournament Fri day afternoon, Feb. 25, with a 53-36 drubbing of the Huskies. Heppner exploded out of the gate with a potent offense and a stifl ing defense and galloped to a 27-10 halftime lead. Austin Coiner did his usual ex cellent job of defending 6’5” Bob Townsend of Sherman County, the Huskies’ only real threat. Townsend ended up with 16 points, but many of those came with the game already decided. The Mustangs were led by seniors Rick Koffler, Len Britt- ner and Joe Healy. Koffler had a good all around game with 16 points, seven assists and four steals, Brittner had 11 points and six rebounds and Healy chipped in with nine counters and six rebounds.
