The Heppner Mustangs mov
ed into first place in the CBC
with a 35-20 victory over the
viaiting Stanfield Tigers, Fri
day, Oct. 6 in Heppner. The
win, Heppner's third against
no losses, moved them past the
idle Weston-McEwen Tiger
Scots who are 2-0 in the CBC.
The Mustangs played their
best offensive game of the year
and they needed it as they were
not at their best on the defen
sive side of the ball.
Heppner started like a house
on fire, scoring three of their
first four possessions to take a
commanding 21-0 lead. Jim
Schlaich scored the first
touchdown for the Mustangs
on a one yard run. Shaun
Hisler had the two big plays on
the drive with a 15 yard ram
ble and a 22 yard gain on a
screen pass. Justin Matteson
kicked the pat.
Ben Ewing caused Tigers'
quarterback Mark Newman to
fumble, which resulted in a 25
yard loss. The punt by the
Tigers set the Mustangs up on
the Stanfield 21 yard line. After

The Heppner High School
Senior Class has planned a
"service sale" this Friday, Oct.
13, beginning at 7 p.m. at the
high school cafeteria.
All seniors will be auctioned
off for eight hours of labor. Pro
ceeds from the sale will go
toward the drug and alcohol
free senior class graduation trip
next June.
Businesses and individuals
are encouraged to "buy" a
senior, said a class spokes
person.
two losses, quarterback Brian
Koffler hit wide receiver Jeff
Watkins with a 33 yard touch
down pass. The pat was wide
for a 13-0 Mustang lead with
three minutes left in the first
quarter.
Rod Zumwalt scored on a 10
yard run to cap a seven play,
41 yard drive. Hisler ran in the
pat and Heppner led 21-0.
Some Heppner fans thought
the rout was on, but nobody
told the Tigers. Newman ran in
a touchdown from the 10 yard
line with 5:08 left in the first
half. The pat was unsuccessful.
Schlaich broke loose for a 67
yard touchdown gallop on the
Mustangs' next possession and
Heppner led 27-7. Stanfield
came right back with a 65 yard
drive with Newman hitting
Jason Blankenship with a four-
yard touchdown with 30 sec
onds left in the first half. The
half ended 27-13 in favor of the
Mustangs.
The Tigers used a 14 play
drive to open the second half
to pull within 27-20. Blanken
ship dived in the end zone
from one yard out for the score.
The Tigers were aided by
three Mustang penalties, slop
py tackling and bad pass de
fense.
To Heppner's credit, they
came back strong with a 51
yard drive. Hisler was the
workhorse, carrying the ball
eight times; he had 10 carries
for 93 yards for the night, and
Schlaich led the team with 123
yards on 12 carries. Koffler bull
ed in from the two yard line for
the score and added the pat on
a bootleg for a 35-20 Heppner
lead.
The fourth quarter was a
stalemate as the Mustang
defense shut down the Tigers.
The Mustangs have a bye
next week and get back into
CBC action Oct. 20, with a
home game against the Pilot
Rock Rockets. The Rockets beat
the Sherman County Huskies
26-6 Friday night and should
provide stiff competition
against the Mustangs.

with an 11-11 performance,
three of those kills. Dickenson
also chipped in a 5-5 success
rate, with two kills, to help
frustrate the TigerScots. Hepp
ner led 7-5 in the game, when
missed serves took their toll
and Heppner lost 7-15.
Heppner rose to the occasion
in game two and took advan
tage of Weston-McEwen
mistakes and violations to lead
6-2. Hisler served an ace to take
it 7-2 and Jossie Evans stuffed
a big block at 7-4. Dickenson
powered a spike kill down at
8-5 behind consistent server
Jessica Sumner. Then with a
turn of events, Heppner began
to look fatigued and flat-footed.
Weston-McEwen made a
gradual comeback and over
came the Fillies, as the Fillies
lost the game and match 9-15.
Moeller, Hisler and Dicken
son all had a good night at the
net with assists from setters
Stormy Howard and Hisler.
Moeller went 13-14 with three
kills, while Hisler and Dicken
son shined with 9-9, six kills
and 5-7, three kills, respective
ly. Evans thrilled the crowd
with two stuffed blocks and
Sumner turned in 100 percent
serving.

The Driver is the Most Important Part of School Bus Safety.
Don’t Turn Our Children’s Safety Over to Strangers.
The 20 professional school bus drivers of the Morrow
County School District transport 1,400 of our children
more than 366,000 miles in the course of one school year.
The safety and comfort of those children is the drivers’
Number 1 concern as they carry them between home and
school and from school to educational and athletic events.
They have maintained their record for safety, courtesy and
professionalism in Eastern Oregon’s brilliant sunshine as
well as our region’s blinding snow storms, from the
Columbia River to the Blue Mountains.
The school bus drivers are friends and neighbors. These »
men and women have a longtime commitment to our
region, our school district and our children. Nearly three-
quarters of the drivers have lived in our community all
their lives. Some have more than 20 years of service
driving our school buses. They shop in our stores, worship
in our churches and educate their children in our schools.
Soon, the Morrow County School Board will decide
whether to turn the school bus service over to an outside
contractor, a business which doesn't have the roots in our
region that the bus drivers have.
SCHOOL BUS
Presently, if we have a concern about the safety of our
children, about the routes the buses drive, the time of day
they pick up our kids for school or return them home, we
can go directly to the District superintendent or the School
Board with our questions or complaints.
A contractor would add a dangerous web of red tape
between parents and the safety of our children
The School Board should keep control of the school bus
service and vote NOT to contract it out. Our children's
safety is far too important to turn over to strangers.

but fell short 7-15, 9-15 in CBC
volleyball action during
homecoming week, Oct. 2, in
Heppner.
Although Heppner once
again started out match play
with service errors, they had a
comfortable lead at 5-3.
Weston-McEwen, while serv
ing 95 percent to the Fillies 74
percent for the match, struggl
ed as badly, committing num
erous errors on defense and
violation calls.
While Heppner was sluggish
in the serving department, the
Fillies were red-hot at the net
behind sophomore and junior
hitters, Annie Hisler, Lori
Moeller and Traci Dickenson.
Hisler picked the TigerScot
defense apart, finding bare
wood with 6-6 attacks, five of
those kills. Moeller, at 5'8",

The Fillies traveled to
Wahtonka Oct. 5 and lost to the
Eagles, 8-15 and 11-15 in a
rematch. The Fillies, needing a
CBC win, could not put a total
game together to beat the
Eagles.
Lori Moeller and Annie
Hisler turned in all-around
volleyball performances.
Moeller, playing her best match
of this season, power hit her
way to an 8-10 net attack, with
a 40 percent kill rate and had
a 14-16 serving night with two
aces. Hisler, serving first for
Heppner for the night, went
13-14 in service completions
and continued to hit well with
a 5-7 attack and a 43 percent kill
rate.
