The Mustangs, who had been beaten soundly by the TigerScots twice during the season, needed to slow things down to have any chance of winning and their game plan worked in the beginning Weston -McEwen led only 10-6 after the first quarter as the Mustangs' 1-3-1 zone defense was baffling their opponents The TigerScots caught fire as the Mustangs Jim Schlaich picked up his fourth foul half way through the second quarter The TigerScots went on a 20-2 run and led 30-10 at the half as Heppner could not get their offense going. Heppner closed to within 14 points twice in the second half but the talented TigerScots would zoom away without warning. Schlaich and Eric Schonbachler led Heppner with 12 points each Morgan Dunlap, the MVP of the tournament, led the winners with 21 points TigerScot seniors Michael Peterson and Casey Perkins scored 14 and 13 each. The TigerScots went on to beat the Umatilla Vikings for the District championship with a 62- 61 win. Both of those teams will represent District 7 in the regional tournament on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 28 and March 1, in bv Molly Rhea___________ The Umatilla Vikings may have controlled the game opening tip, but that turned out to be about the only time that they were in control of this game, as the Heppner Mustangs ran away with a 42-25 win in the opening contest of the Columbia Basin Conference District 7-2A girls basketball tournament at the Pendleton Convention Center on Friday , February 21. The Mustangs' aggressive play simply blew the Vikings out of the water. Annie Hisler lit up the first quarter by canning two buckets, from behind the three-point line and Lori Moeller put in two from underneath the hoop to jump the Heppner squad to a 12-2 lead The second quarter Heppner went into a slowed-down offense which only scored them six, while allowing Umatilla to put seven points up on the scoreboard The Mustangs led 18-9 at the half and appeared to be in command of the outcome The Mustangs charged ahead again in the third, racking up 13 points while holding the Vikings scoreless. The score was 31-9 after three* In the final period, coach John Boyer pulled off the press, the Vikings loosened up and began Lori Moeller dribbles around a Umatilla Viking shooting from the outside Bob Hubbard 546.
