a Heppner touchdown.
The Heppner Mustangs ran
roughshod over the visiting 3A
Boardman Riverside Pirates,
winning 32-0, Friday night.
Sept. 6, at the Morrow County
Fairgrounds.
On a warm fall evening, with
a good crowd supporting both
teams, the Mustangs scored
four times in the first half.
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. Wilhelm
banged it into the end zone
from five yards out and the
Mustangs took a 26-0 lead

into the locker room.
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.
After spending the night, all
of the Heppner Mustangs and
Ponies will head to the Univer
sity of Oregon to watch the
Ducks take on the Colorado
State Rams. Tickets to the game
were provided by Mustang
and Ducks alumnus Pat Kil
kenny.
