a • • Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 22.1997 - SEVEN M ustangs rout Riverside Pirates, 40-12 Condon Blue Devi]so cook Cardinal netters to work on consistent intensity By R ick P aullus By Kara Miller The Heppner Mustangs routed the Boardman Riverside Pirates last Friday night, Oct. 18, 40-12. This was a non-league game played at Boardman. The Mus tangs will get back to league gam es this Friday, Oct. 24, against the Pilot Rock Rockets. Riverside received the opening kick-off, but promptly fumbled a pitchout which Travis Wilhelm recovered at the 31 yard line of the Pirates. Quarterback Shane Mathcny ran for 11 yards then four yards down to the 10. Junior Derek Gunderson then ran for five yards, then took a pitchout the final five yards for a touchdown. Matheny kept the ball and got the two point conversion, giving the Mustangs an 8-0 lead with 8:50 left in the first quarter. The Pirates took the ball down to the 27 yard line of Heppner, but gave up the ball on downs. Matheny ran three times for 12 yards and Wilhelm carried twice for 17 more, giving Heppner a first down at the 37 yard line of Riverside. Matheny then hit Gunderson in the flat and took the ball the rest of the way for the touchdown. The extra point try failed and the Mus tangs led 14-0 at the end of the first quarter. The Mustangs took over at their own 20 yard line after a Pi rate punt. A Matheny pass to Gunderson was good for nine yards, then Matheny kept the ball for 20 more yards. Tim Dickenson then ran for seven yards and Wilhelm ran 34 yards down to the 20 yard line. Wilhelm ran for seven more and Levi Geer ran 12 yards to the one yard line. Wilhelm took it in for the touch down. Freshman Blake Knowles’ kick just missed and Heppner led 20-0 with 6:59 left in the half. The Pirates then drove down the field, with Leo Garcilazo scor ing from one yard out. The con version try was no good and the half ended with Heppner leading, 20 - 6 . The Mustangs didn’t take long to get on the scoreboard in the second half. Matheny took the kick-off and went 90 yards in 11 seconds for the touchdown. Knowles again just missed wide right and the Mustangs led, 26-6. Wilhelm and Brian Burnside then led a defensive stand that led to a -4 yard punt, giving the Mus tangs good field position at the Pirates’ 31 yard line. Geer took the ball outside on the option for 14 yards to the 15. Casey Evans then made a nice catch on a pass from Matheny to the eight yard line. Geer then took it to the one and Matheny took the ball in from there for the touch down. Knowles kicked the ball through the uprights and Hepp ner led, 33-6, with 6:09 left in the third period. Riverside took the ball down the field with Garcilazo again getting a one yard touchdown. The conversion failed and Hepp ner now led, 33-12, at the end of the third quarter. After Gunderson returned the kick-off to the 31, Geer ran for nine yards and Matheny gained five more for a first down. A Matheny pass to Evans gave the Mustangs the ball at Riverside’s 39. Gunderson broke free and outran the defense to the end zone for the touchdown. Knowles kicked his second straight extra point, giving the Mustangs a 40- 12 lead. The Lady Cardinals’ home com ing loss was one to be watched over and over for many years. The girls came out ready to play, but could only capitalize on the mistakes of the Condon Blue Devil offense during the first game and the Blue Devils took over from there. The Cards lost the match in three, 15-8,8-15 and 7-15. The crowd was screaming from both sides as the lone girls came out to show what they were made of in the first game, winning 15- 8. With junior Katie Tworek on vacation, the Cardinal lineup was forced to add some new faces. Brandi B rantley and Nikki McElhgott stepped up their game in the wake of Tworek’s absence. "McElhgott, by far, had one of the best matches of her season. She stepped up and played really well for us the other night,” said coach Chanty McElhgott. Nikki McElhgott had five kills, nine spikes for the Cardinals, and she helped out the defensive end by adding three blocks. Camie Burright served nine points for lone and added five kills. Jenny Sullivan dug out 14 hits, while Brenda Burright set up 25 assists. The Lady Cards lost the sec ond and third games, 8-15 and 7- 15. “We played one of the best games we have had all year the first match, but we lost a little bit of the momentum going into the second and third games,” said coach McElhgott. “We’re going Shane Matheny sweeps around end in Heppner win Both teams traded possessions caught one for 10 yards.

Cross country running takes determination By Kristina Powell and Rhonda Wilhelm Sybil Krebs of lone has taken on the challenge to run cross country. Krebs runs 3.1 mile races and it takes her anywhere from 23-25 minutes to run a race. “I am trying to improve my best time, which is 23 minutes,” says Krebs, who has run 294 miles since she has started. It takes her 1 Vi hours to run seven miles. That also includes her warming up laps. She lifts weights and that takes up a half- hour of her warm ups. Sybil is the only one in lone that has taken on the challenge of cross country, so She has to run with Condon High School. Hepp ner has had the option, but no one wanted to run the cross country. “It makes me feel like I have a lot of self-determination," said Krebs. “I have been running long distance since sixth grade because Mr. Dean Robinson, the track coach, made me run,” she added. Her trainer was Cindy Selby. Selby is not there all the time when Krebs trains, so she sends Sybil her workout information through the mail. This way, Krebs knows exactly what she is sup pose to work on. Krebs trains six days a week and gets only one day off in a week. She trains that long because a person has to be in ex cellent condition to run cross country races. Krebs has run two races since she started in Union and Hermis- ton. She placed well out of 70 run ners. “In Union there are hills you have to run up and there are bridges you have to run across. Also, you have to jump across logs,” she emphasized. In the second race in Hermis- ton, Krebs placed second out of Time to Renew Your Operating Line of Credit?

She has not run more races be cause she hurt her tendon by over using it, so she will not be able to run in the district race. To qualify for state a cross country runner has to be one of the top seven out of the 1-A and 2-A schools. The state race is in Eugene and the district race, in Pendleton. A runner in cross country is limited on the calories that can are eaten. And, she says, “We can’t drink pop.” Their bodies need more nutrients than calories. The runners do not have to limit them selves on what they eat-they can choose to eat what they want. Krebs says she wants to limit her self, so she eats accordingly. “It takes a lot out of you when you run a race,” she added. The day before a race she needs to drink at least a gallon of water. Krebs says she is not sure if she wants to race next year, but she is still thinking about it. Genealogy fall gathering Sunday This is your chance *o get started researching your family history.
