Heppner Mustangs drops match to lone in three
Heppner Mustang netters "kick Bucks"
By Molly Rhea
The varsity and junior varsity
Mustang netters not only "kicked
Bucks" at the Pendleton JV
tournament
on
Tuesday.
September 9, they kicked
everyone else too as Doth teams
went undefeated
in their
respective tournaments and
brought home first place honors.
While their coaches were able to
experiment with various player
combinations and placement,
both Heppner teams displayed
style ana grit as they refused to
lose a single game
Heppners varsity team played
in the "JV" tournament which
consisted of junior varsity teams
from
4A
Pendleton
and
Southndge (a Kennewick, WA
school), 3A Grant Union and
Mac-Hi, and the Sherman
County varsity
ustangs came out of pool
The Mustangs
undefeated,
beating
outhridge 15-0, 15-12, ana
Mac-Hi 15-10, 15-7, earning a
bye for the first round o f bracket
ilav Pendleton also earned a
irst place bye in the opposing
pool by winning both games
against Grant Union and splitting
with Sherman County.
In bracket play Pendleton
needed three games to defeat
Southridge while Heppner put
down last year's CBC champs,
Sherman County, 15-13, 15-3, to
advance Pendleton and Heppner
into the championship match.
The Buckaroos almost roped the
Mustangs in the first game, but
Heppner pulled out the 16-14
win and then galloped away with
game two, 15-3, to win the first
place title.
As the varsity Mustangs were
winning in Pendleton's new gym,
Heppner's junior varsity team
were winning in the old gym, as
they participated in the "Frosh"
tournament. Included in this
tournament were freshman teams
from
Pendleton,
Mac-Hi,
Hanford, Southridge, Grant
Union and the JV teams from
Heppner and Sherman County.
Since the Frosh tourney
included more teams, it was
decided to limit pool play games
to 11 points, as this would allow
the two tournaments to be
completed at about the same
time. Heppner's JVs earned the
first place spot in bracket play by
beating Southridge 11-8, 11-0,
and then defeating Grant Union,
11-0,11-7.
In bracket play
with the
standard format of playing the
best two out of three games to 15
points,
it was a Mustang
runaway in the first match as
they defeated the Mac-Hi
Pioneers, 15-2, 15-4. In the
semi-finals Heppner faced the
Sherman County Huskies and
again won in two, 15-12, 15-4.
These victories set up Heppner to
play
Pendleton
in
the
championship match. Again the
Mustangs used only two games
to win the match, pounding the
Bucks frosh team, 15-9, 15-1.
"These
long
tournaments
demand a lot from the girls," said
coach Terri Gentry. Y'And our
teams definitely rose to the
occasion."
