Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, November 1, 1995 - THREE Fillies nearly upset Eagles Heppner Fillies fell short of a near-upset against the Wahton ka Eagles in the CBC District Volleyball tournament held Saturday, Oct. 28, at Moro. Wahtonka came back and took the final two games of the three-game match. Heppner, playing their best defensive game of the season, read the Eagle offense well and contained strong middle hitter Jennifer Caldwell in game one. Setters Annie Hisler and Stor my Howard set the tempo for the Fillie hitters, as Lori Moel ler, Tina Kemp, Jessica Sumner and Hisler rattled the Eagle defense with strong net play. Freshman Jill Barber added quickness to the Fillie back row and teamed with senior Jossie Evans to execute a duel block kill to take game one, 15-13. With an 8-2 Fillie lead in game two, Heppner seemed to be in the driver's seat for an upset. Wahtonka battled back to tie the game at 8-8. Evans, playing her best net play of the season, took charge in the game with a 6-6 performance, four worth kills. Sumner pull ed off an ace serve as Wahton ka had an 10-11 lead. Wahton ka rallied and took the game 10-15. Heppner faltered in game three behind poor receiving and missed serves and fell behind, 4-10. Sophomore Min dy Binschus came in and gave a needed lift with two ace serves, followed by a Hisler tip kill and a Moeller spike kill to bring Heppner up to 7-10. The Fillies, a bit fatigued, could do no more and were eliminated, 10-15, from further tournament play. Heppner put forth a very respectable team effort and had great hitting support from Evans, 14-14 with seven kills; Kemp, 9-9; Hisler, 15-17 and Moeller, 12-16 for the match. Howard assisted many of the hitters and had a good all- around match. Sumner handl ed service line duties with ease. Traci Dickenson, Barber and Binschus added depth to the Fillie effort. Sherman County will go in the number one CBC spot to regionals and Weston-McEwen won the right for the number two position. Heppner upset Weston in last week's action.
