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.
At the conclusion of the tour
nament games, the CBC all
league all-star players were an
nounced. Heppner setters
Howard and Hisler received se
cond team honors.

Mustang defenders Jeff Watkins (87) and Eric Schonbachler (41)
close in on a Wahtonka ball carrier
The Heppner Mustangs
traveled to The Dalles Friday
night, Oct. 28, and blanked the
Wahtonka Eagles, 39-0, on the
Eagles' homecoming night.
The win sewed up a playoff
berth for the Mustangs for the
fifth time in six years for a Greg
Grant-coached team. The Mus
tangs will play for first place
and the homefield advantage
this Friday night at the Weston-
McEwen TigerScots' field in
Athena.
Heppner used a steady offen
sive game, scoring two touch
downs in each of the first three
»quarters and a defense that
•stopped the Eagles every time
they had the ball.
The Mustangs scored on their
first two possessions with jun
ior Jim Schlaich scoring from
the four yard line for the first
score and senior Shaun Hisler
scoring from three yards out.
Overall, Hisler rushed for two
touchdowns and 162 yards on
19 carries for Heppner. Eric
Schonbachler added the pats
for a 14-0 Heppner lead after
one quarter.
Dan Burnside dropped on a
Wahtonka fumble to start the
next Mustang scoring drive at
the Eagles 26 yard line. Hisler
scored from the one yard line
to make it 20-0. The pat was
blocked.
Wahtonka took over on their
own 14 yard line with 1:02 re
maining on the clock before
halftime. They had trouble get
ting together and used two
time outs during the diive.
They then went for it on fourth
down but the Mustangs held.
Quarterback Brian Koffler
found halfback Schlaich alone
in the end zone as the clock ran
out to end the half. Schon
bachler was good with the pat
for a 27-0 Mustang halftime
lead.
The Heppner defense con
tinued to dominate the second
half with Chris Sykes, Josh
Coiner, Hisler, Schonbachler
and Schlaich leading the
charge. Derek Gunderson in
tercepted a pass for the second
week in a row and made a
touchdown saving tackle for
Heppner.
Koffler found Schonbachler
in the end zone on the Mus
tangs' first possession of the se
cond half and senior Rod Zum-
walt scored on a seven yard
running play to round out the
scoring for the Mustangs.
The Mustangs face a stiff
challenge for the CBC crown in
the second-ranked Weston-
McEwen TigerScots. The Mus
tangs, ranked ninth in the state
last week, have won five games
in a row after suffering an ear
ly season nonleague defeat.
The TigerScots have been
challenged only by the 3A
Banks High School team this
year.
Game time for the Nov. 3
showdown is 7:30 p.m. at the
Athena high school football
field.
It won’t be long until our
