Cardinals snare first league win
By Anne Morter
The lone Cardinals snared
their first league win last Fri
day, Oct. 7, with a 48-12 deci
sion over the Condon Blue
Devils in a game played on the
road. The win moved the Cards
league record to 1-2 and their
season mark to 2-3.
According to Coach Gregg
Rietmann, the first quarter was
a battle of ball control. The
Cards scored on their first drive
down the field. Then Condon's
possession ate up the majority
of the period.
In the second quarter, the
Cards' defense toughened up,
forcing the Blue Devils to give
the ball up repeatedly. At the
same time, the lone offense
went to town, scoring five
touchdowns and pushing the
halftime score to 36-0. Condon
got on the board with a
touchdown in the third quarter
and again in the fourth, but the
Cards matched them each time,
easily romping to the win.
The Cardinals played a
balanced game, netting 191
yards on the ground and 193 in
the air for 384 yards of total of
fense. Condon, behind the run
ning of John Hawk, had 238
rushing yards but just three
yards in the air.
The Cards' ground attack
was led by Jared Ashbeck with
151 yards rushing and three
touchdowns. Greg Holtz
scored twice, the first on a 60
yard pass run and the other a
35 yard punt return. Rodney
Ehrmantraut scored in the third
period on a 12 yard run and
Marc Orem caught the second

Mustangs whip Tigers, 20-0
The Heppner Mustangs
traveled to Stanfield Friday
Oct. 7, and brought with them
a rock hard defense whipping
the Tigers, 20-0.
The Mustang defense wasted
no time setting up the offense
with great field position.

ped in front of a Mark Newman
pass and returned it to the
Stanfield 15 yard line. Quarter
back Brian Koffler ran the op

running back Shaun Hisler
bulled into the end zone from
a yard out for the touchdown.
The pat was wide left and
Heppner led 6-0 with 9:22 re
maining in the quarter.

tough from end to end.
Schlaich, Hisler, John Qualls,
Jon Hanna and Chris Sykes
along with the rest of the defen
sive team, limited the Tigers to
seven first downs and only 164
yards total.
The Mustangs scored early in
the second quarter on a 50 yard
drive. Hisler ripped off con
secutive runs of 13, 12, and 11
yards to put Heppner in scor
ing position, Senior Fullback
Chad Skroch scored the first of
his two touchdowns on the
night, with a six yard blast to
put Heppner up 12-0 after a
missed pat run.
While the Mustangs defense
continued to administer an old
fashion butt whipping to the
Tigers' offensive, the offense of
the Mustangs sputtered. Hepp-
Lady Cards beat Condon
By Anne Morter
The lone lady Cardinals ad
vanced their league record to
5-0 with a win Friday, Oct. 7
over the Condon Blue Devils.
Faced with a much improved
Condon team, the Cardinals
needed three games to defeat
the Devils in Condon, 15-8,
13-15, 15-11.
Due to a late arrival in Con
don, the lady Cards weren't as
warmed up as their coach
would have liked but they pro
duced a solid game for the win
in the first game. In the second
game, Condon used a packed
gym and a rowdy homecoming
crowd to jump out to a big lead,
lone rallied but it was too little
and too late. The third game,
the Cards took advantage of a
slow start by Condon and
jumped to a 10-1 lead, led by
Jessica Stefani's 10 straight
points. Condon wasn't about to
go down easy in the third game
but the Cards proved to be too
strong.
The lady Cards served 92
percent as a team with perfect
serving by Kim Bedortha,
Becky Wagenblast and Allison
Sullivan. Melissa McElligott
was the leading scorer with 12
points.
In serve receives Bedortha
led with 94 percent on 16 at
tempts. Stefani recorded a 100
percent success rate on six
receives.
The team recorded 100 per
cent blocking, led by Sullivan
with seven blocks and four
stuffs. McElligott had three
blocks with two stuffs and
Suzie Heideman also had three
with one stuff.
