the Mustangs in a low profile
defense, it made no difference as
the Mustangs continued to

one basket and allowing Wasco
County to add six points, bring
ing them within five of the
Cardinals.
During the fourth quarter,
the Redsides got their momen
tum and kept lone scoreless in
the last three minutes of the
period as they kept up their
side of the offensive pressure.
The Lady Redsides beat the
Lady Cardinals for the first time
in the five years that the two
teams have played each other
for a state berth.
Leaders of the game were
lone's B. Burright w ith a game-
high 10 points and 10 re
bounds. Heideman also added
10 boards. Wasco C ounty's
Aimee Lindell had 13 points,
w hile junior Jami Demig had
their team-high nine points.
The disappointing 32-27 loss
for the Lady Cardinals capped
an otherwise successful 14-8
season retord.
Saturday, Feb. 15, was not a
good day for the Lady Car
dinals against the Wasco Coun
ty Lady Redsides. Their shots
were off and their defense just
was not in the right place at the
right time. They lost their
chance to go to Baker City,
32-27.

Second quarter was a repeat

HHS JV cap season with win
The Heppner Mustangs had a
disappointing conclusion to a suc
cessful league season as they
dropped their final regular season
game on the road to the Stanfield
Tigers, 56-53, Saturday, Feb. 15.
Sophomore Corey Sherman sank
a double-pump, backboard-rattling,
three-pointer at the buzzer to the
delight of the Stanfield crowd.
Like the first meeting between
these two teams, Heppner led 14-7
after the first period. Stanfield kept
fighting back and trailed 41-3 8 go
ing into the fourth quarter. The Ti
gers took the lead inside one minute.
The Mustangs threw away their last
chance for victory and set up
Sherman’s last-second shot hero
ics.
Sherman led the Tigers with 18
points and senior Zane Gibbs
chipped in with 12 points, eight in
the last quarter.
Justin Matteson paced Heppner
with 12 points going 5 for 8 from
the field. Tim Dickenson had 10
points for the Mustangs, including
6 for 8 from the free-throw line.
Stanfield was 20 for 40 from the
field for 50 percent, while the Mus
tangs were 20 for 61. “We put up
20 more shots than they did, and
11 more free throws. You would
think that would be enough to out-
score them, but they just wouldn’t
fall for us,” said head coach Bob
Ployhar.
The Mustangs finished Colum
bia Basin League Conference play
with a 7-5 record, good enough for
third place.
Heppner will meet the Weston-
McEwen TigerScots Friday
evening, Feb. 21, at the Pendleton
Convention Center in a loser-out
contest at the 7A District Tourna
ment. The TigerScots beat the
Mustangs easily in two previous
meetings. Heppner will have to find
a way to slow down seniors
Michael Peterson and Morgan
Dunlap to advance in the tourna
ment.
