Koffler faked right and tried
a naked bootleg. It fooled seven
of the Eagle defenders. With a
sack being imminent, Koffler
sidestepped one defender and
found senior Chris Jones open
in the end zone for the two

6:56 left in the game.
The Heppner defense that
played tough all night long
stuffed Yoncalla on their last

The Mustang defense was
led by another strong showing
by senior linebacker Brent Gun

passes for 20 yards.
Schonbachier had 11 carries
for 88 yards and also had a 60
yard touchdown run called
back in the fourth quarter.
