On Sat urday, Jan. 18, h ow ever, the Wheeler Falcons flew into town to take on both lone boys’ teams and the lone Lady Cardinals’ varsity squad. The lone Lady Cards led the whole way-cruising to a 47-34 win over the Falcons. Suzy Heideman led lone inside the paint, while Brenda Bumght led the Cardinals from outside. Heideman and Bumght had the game-high 14 and 13 points, re spectively. Heideman also led the rebounding effort with 14. Wheeler’s Connie Humphrey, a jun ior, lead the Falcon scoring attack -> with i 12. The Falcons stayed close to the lone offensive pressure, leaving the score within four, 24-20 on the board. The score made people think it was going to the wire, but in the third quarter, the fire was turned up underneath the Cardinals’ feet. They outscored the Falcons 13-4, and easily made it through the fourth, keeping up the offensive and defensive tactics that were suc cessful in the third. Dawn Boor and Camie Bumght were new starters in the Lady Car dinal lineup. Boor added seven points, three rebounds and two steals. C. Bumght had eight points, four rebounds and five steals. All the bench saw playing time as the Cards added another win to their lone VJ girls chalk up a win Markct Rcporl Compliments of the Morrow County Gram Growers B y K a r a M ille r The lone JV girls soared into Condon Thursday night, Jan. 14, to once again emerge the victor.

Due to the ice storm Thursday night this was the only CBC action for the entire weekend Coach John Boyer has developed a strong team that enables him substitute freely It is routine for Heppner’s score sheet to list at least seven players scoring. Eight o f the ten varsity players contributed with points to Saturday‘s win The first quarter both teams mounted an effective press which had the Mustangs trailing 7-10 at the end o f the period The pressure loosened somewhat during the second and Heppner pulled ahead 24-19 as they headed into the half. What Coach Bov er told his team during the break worked. For although both teams went back into full court pressure for the third quarter, the Mustang girls' efforts were not hampered and they outscored the Eagles 15-8, to lead at the end o f three. 39-27. Heppner \ised the final quarter to widen the margin, outscoring Wahtonka 16-8. winning the game 55-35. Stat keepers had Heppner shooting a strong 45 percent from the field The Mustangs shot six for 12 free throws, while the Eagles made five o f 12. In the turnover department. Heppner 2 logged 16 i while Wahtonka had 27. Lori Moeller, Heppner’s only senior and a solid team leader, had an outstanding game, leading all scorers with 16 points, eight rebounds, three steals and two assists. Jill Barber scored eight, with two steals, an assist and a board Annie Hisler hustled her way to seven points, along with three rebounds, four steals and one assist Freshman Casey Ingraham got credit for seven points, four rebounds and a steal. Jaci Hughes scrambled to six points, five steals, one assist and one rebound. Brooke Boy er scored four points, as did Lexi Matteson Matteson Bill Schonly, radio voice o f the Portland Trailblazers always says it: "You've got to make your freethrows." And it was never as true as Saturday night, January 18, as the Heppner Mustangs hosted the Wahtonka Eagles The Mustangs were 5-22 from the chanty stnpe as a winnable game got away from them down the stretch and Wahtonka ended up with a 54-43 win The Mustangs broke on top and led 15-12 after the first quarter against a big front line that went 6' 5*, 6' 4" and 6' 3" for the Eagles JefT Watkins scored six o f his 10 points in the first stanza against the taller Eagles Heppner Clung to a 23-22 half tone lead and play ed very patiently against Wahtonka The Eagles had two small runs in the third auarter and led 40-35 entering the last quarter Midway through the last quarter. Heppner ullea even with Wahtonka The agles hit two baskets and led 47- 43 and the Mustangs started to foul Heppner was particularly bad from the line, hitting only 4-13 in the last quarter from the line Jim Schlaich had 13 points and 12 rebounds to pace the Mustangs. Jerid Ployhar had sev en rebounds and Eric Schonbachler added six rebounds to go with nine points Robert Person and Sam Evans led the Eagles with 14 points each and Josh Ice and Ben Cartwright each had 10 points for the balanced Wahtonka attack . While it was a frustrating loss, coach Bob Ployhar said. "The kids played hard and executed well, but you can't expect to beat a ;ood team when you only make ive o f 22 free throws. The Mustangs were without the service o f lunior Chris Anthonv who broke his collarbone and will be out o f action for the remainder o f the season.
