The Heppner Mustangs ran roughshod over the visiting 3A Boardman Riverside Pirates, winning 32-0, Friday night. Sept. 6, at the Morrow County Fairgrounds.

Heppner scored on its first possession, with Tim Dicken son catching a five yard pass from quarterback Brian Koffler in the corner of the end zone. The play capped a seven play, 67 yard drive highlighted by a 39 yard run by junior Travis Wilhelm. Eric Schonbachler was good with the pat for a 7-0 lead, with 7:03 remaining in the quarter. Heppner scored three times in a royv in the second quarter. Sophomore Derek Gunderson started the blitz with a four yard touchdown run after a nice 13 play drive, with Gun derson catching a screen pass for 30 yards for the big play of the series. The Mustangs struck quick ly again, with an onside kick giving them the ball right back. Koffler found Jeff Watkins along the sideline for a 60 yard catch-and -ru n touchdow n pass. The pat was wide left and Heppner lead 20-0. Heppner needed only a 20 yard drive after recovering a Pirate fumble to complete the first half scoring.

While the offense was click ing because of solid blocking up front, and good performances by the skill people, the Mustang defense turned, in another strong showing. Linebackers Brent Gunder son and Justin Matteson were everywhere, stopping both the pass and the run. Defensive end Tim Sumner and deep back Eric Schonbachler, along with Josh Coiner, also lead the team with good tackling. A combination of defensive line men, including Jonas Healy and Phil Tellechea, stopped the Pirates in their tracks, with the visitors gaining a net 14 yards on 22 carries. H eppner scored its last touchdown on a 20 yard pass play from Koffler to split end Jerid Ployhar, with 2:49 left in the third stanza. The second half saw a slew of new faces on the field for Heppner as coach Greg Grant got a look at every player on his 45 man rooster. Running backs Stacy Lauritsen, Levi Geer and Michael Schonbachler looked impressive and the entire JV defense continued to stymie the Pirate regulars. Heppner hits the road again next Friday night, traveling to face the Yoncalla Eagles, who opened their season by losing to Kennedy of Mt. Angel, 12-6. This trip to the valley will also include an abbreviated JV game and a junior high game in the afternoon.
