COMFORTABLE • TRUSTFULL • HONEST • CARING
The Heppner Mustangs used
an awesome running attack by
senior Shaun Hisler to rip the
Pilot Rock Rockets, 45-12, in
CBC action at the Morrow
County Fairgrounds, Friday,
Oct. 21.
Hisler set a new school
record, gaining 254 yards on 23
carries on his way to five
rushing touchdowns. The feat
was a combination of tough
and quick running by Hisler
and excellent blocking by the
offensive line of Josh Coiner,
Brent Gunderson, Justin Mat-
teson, Chris Sykes, Randy Van
Etta, Jeff Watkins and Brian
Struckmeier, together with
blocking backs Jim Schlaich and
Rod Zumwalt.
Pilot Rock started fast, using
only three plays to score the
game's first touchdown, an 11
yard run by Marlin Bernabe.
The Mustangs responded in a
big way, scoring 38 unanswer
ed points during the rest of the
first half.
Hisler scored the next four
touchdowns for the Mustangs
on runs of 15, 14, 32 and 24
yards before halfback Zumwalt
scored from four yards out,
breaking the string. Hisler add
ed his fifth touchdown just
before the half on a seven yard
run.
Meanwhile, the Mustang de
fense was opportunistic, in
tercepting four passes in the
first half, six for the game, as
the Rocket offense sputtered.
Freshman free safety Derek
Gunderson, getting his first
start of the season, picked off
two passes and Schlaich and
Watkins each had one pick.
Zumwalt scored on an 11
yard run early in the second
half to complete the scoring for
the Mustangs.
The Mustang defense con
tinued to play the thief as Eric
Schonbachler and Zumwalt
each had an interception in the
second half as the Mustangs'
defensive line and linebackers
stopped the Rockets in their
tracks.
Heppner will try to keep their
winning ways going as they
travel to The Dalles this week
to face the Wahtonka Eagles.
The Mustangs are 4-0 in the
CBC and 6-1 for the season.

Sherman County Huskies'
volleyball team showed the
Fillies why they are the 'top of
the heap' in CBC league stan
dings, as they came out like a
raging prairie fire, burning the
Heppner Fillies 10-15, 6-15 in
conference play, Oct. 17.
Sherman, although a young
team, cast a big, tall lineup that
looked more like a college
basketball team.
The Huskies had a heyday at
the net, controlling from start
to finish, as they burned Hepp
ner for kills behind their big
gun, Tyan Sanderson. Sander
son, who rattled the Fillie
defense, also rattled the crowd
with spike attempts that seem
ed to avoid an official whistle,
as they were carried with ease.
Heppner, fell behind 2-11
before a time-out was called.
Then, behind a great team ef
fort, Heppner fought back with
desire and determination, in a
super comeback.
Senior Jessica Sumner, once
again entered the game in ser
ving position to start the igni
tion key rolling. Setter Annie
Hisler continued to find Jossie
Evans and Traci Dickenson,
who went 4-5 and 4-4 at the net
during this crucial game and
Heppner roared back to 8-14.
Panic was mounting for the
Huskies, as the game was a
repeat comeback as in the first
meeting at Sherman. After a
Sherman time-out, Tina Kemp
came up with a big tip kill,
followed by a Dickenson kill.
Stormy Howard produced a
save and Heppner was on the
edge at 10-14, with momentum
going their way. Sanderson
then demolished the Heppner
girls with a smash to the floor,
to put the game away, 10-15.
Heppner took off with a 3-1
lead in game two behind back
row help from Jill Barber. Hisler
put a spike down and both
teams began trading missed
serves. Hisler got a side-out on
another kill and Heppner took
a point from a Dickenson serve
to make the game close at 5-7.
Sanderson and the Huskies
team, with great offensive play,
proved why they stand 8-0 at
the top of the CBC. Heppner,
playing defense the entire
match, could never pass the
first hard-driven ball back to the
setters and lost 6-15.
Servers Sumner, Howard,
Kemp and Barber all served 100
percent in the match.
Heppner, although struggl
ing all season to get into the
win column, have held their
heads high amidst the losses.
Setters Hisler and Howard con
tinue each week to show their
hustle, heart and desire runn
ing the Fillie offense. Sumner,
Kemp, Barber and Dickenson
withstand the back row pres
sure, while Lori Moeller,
Hisler, Evans and Dickenson
come through with the attacks.
