M ustangs struggle against Sherm an Cards beat Honkers in slow paced game
Sherman County jumped on
the struggling Mustangs early,
and never let up, coasting to a
63-48 win over Heppner at
home Saturday, Jan. 28.
The Mustangs could only
manage six points in the first
quarter, and didn't really start
hitting until the fourth quarter
when they poured in 19.
With a hard working full-
court press that produced
several turnovers, and a fast
break that popped in some
points, the Mustangs held their
own in the second half, but
couldn't overcome the big 20
point halftime lead of the
Huskies. At one point Heppner
pulled to within 11 of the big
Sherman team.
The Mustangs held their own
on the boards against the taller
players, pulling down 23
boards to Sherman's 25.
