to score o ff steals and forced

strong inside play limited the

period. Scoring 17 points in
the fourth quarter, the Fillies
took
the
win,
51-46,
improving their record to 6-2
for the year.

The Heppner Mustangs were
rude hosts when the Imbler
Panthers from the Wapiti Lea
gue came to town Friday, Dec.
20, and whipped the Panthers
72-56, in a game that-wasn't as
close as the final score indicat
ed.
Heppner, in winning its third
game in a row, jumped out to
a 24-10 first quarter lead with
an aggressive defense that put
the Panthers back on their
heels. The Mustangs built on
their lead in the second quarter
and led 40-22 at the break. Jim
Schlaich scored 15 of his game-
high 19 points in the first half
to pace the Mustangs. He also
pulled down 14 rebounds in his
best performance of the season.
Heppner was outscored 34-30
in the second half, but won
handily against a team that
looked good on paper, with a
front line of 6'5'', 6'3", 6'3"
and two quick shooting guards.
They fell apart against a stub
born Heppner defense and ag
gressive board work.
Jeff Watkins had strong
moves to the hoop and scored
13 points for Heppner, and
Chris Anthony came off the
bench and added 11 points.
Tim Dickenson had nine points
and was a power on the
boards.
The Mustangs brought their
record to 6-2 with the win and
traveled to Echo to play the
Cougars Saturday night, Dec.
