Although Heppner and Her miston had identical eight and two win-loss records, (Hermiston also split with Riverside) Her miston was awarded the first place trophy based on points allowed. Coach Terri Gentry was pleased with her team's efforts. "They had back row hits and good kills - everyone played well." Along with bringing home the second place team trophy, two Mustangs were named to the All- Tournament team. Seniors Annie Hisler and Mindy Binschus received tournament All-Star medals. The John Day Junior Varsity tournament included eight teams divided into two pools. Each team played two games against every other team in their pool.

Despite the game being held on lone’s home turf, the Cougars were too tough for the Cardinals, lone received the opening kick off and Dan Scott returned it to the lone 40 yard line. From there the Cougar defense took control with 16 points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, lone’s Jake McElligott had a 45 yard interception return for a touch down for the only touchdown in the half for lone.

In the fourth quarter, neither team scored, which left lone with the loss. “Even though we lost, it didn’t feel like a loss,” said coach Robin Graff. "The kids gave 100 percent and did everything they were asked to do. We came up short inside the 10 a couple o f times. We think we played an excellent game. Even though we lost, it was a confidence builder for us.” Defensively Marc Orem had three sacks and many tackles. Jake McElligott had two intercep tions with one run back for a touchdown. “O ffensively, we threw the ball well," Graff added. lo n e ’s next game will be Thursday, Sept. 11 at 2 p.m. at Sherman High School, against the Culver JVs.

Watching are Lexi Matteson (back) Jaci Hughes (nght) and Jessica VanWinkle (8) By Molly Rhea The varsity Mustang netters received a wake up call on Thursday, September 4, from the lone Cardinals, losing in two games, 11-15, 15-17. The loss was disappointing with Heppner's lead squad serving a dismal 71 percent, but the Mustangs displayed good move ment on the court and had several long rallies. Annie Hisler, Jill Barber and Janelle Healy shared the setting duties, while a trio of senior giants, Petra Elguezabal (5'10"), Mindy Binschus (5'9") and Lexi Matteson (5'11") worked at blocking the even taller lone team. Although the Heppner squad looked pretty serious and had some trouble handling lone's attack they will soon gel and be a force to be reckoned with in the CBC. The junior varsity volleyball gals quickly dealt a loss to the Cards, winning in two games, Worship Service at 3 p.m. Meeting* in th e 7th -d ay A d v en tist C h urch 560 North Minor 15-8, 15-10. The JVs' service success was 85 percent for the match and they rarely sent a "free" ball over. This team is laced with able setters which produced several kills for an exciting match. The C team came out strong, winning the first game, 15-7. They were unable to maintain their momentum, though, and lost the next two games, 6-15, 8- 15. Once they get some of their kinks worked out this team will win some games. Their service game went well with an 84 percent success. The Mustang volleyball squads plan to knock a few feathers off the Cardinals when they travel to lone on Thursday, September 11, for a rematch.
