Mustang girls run away with victory over Vikings
TigerScots end Heppner Mustang season
The Weston McEwen TigerScots
put an end to a very successful
Heppner Mustang season with a
convincing 63-44 win at the
District 7-2A tournament at
Pendleton on Saturday night, Feb
22.
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
