*A,J
By Rick Paullus
The Heppner Mustangs hung
on to defeat the Enterprise Sav
ages 18-15 on Saturday, Nov. 8,
in the first round of the state 2A
playoffs. Derek Gunderson inter
cepted an Enterprise pass at
Heppner’s 12 yard line and re
turned it to the 26 with 46 sec
onds left to preserve the win.
The Mustangs will travel to
Glendale to play on Saturday,
Nov. 15, at 1 p.m. in the second
round of the state 2A playoffs.
Glendale defeated Bonanza to
advance to the second round.
Two days of rain left the field
at the Morrow County F air
grounds wet and muddy, but it
didn’t bother the Mustangs as
they held Enterprise on their first
possession and forced them to
punt.
Heppner took over at their own
34 and on first down, Michael
Schonbachler ran for 25 yards to
Enterprise’s 41. Levi Geer ran for
11 yards to the 30 and quarterback
Shane Matheny kept the ball on a
bootleg for 11 more. D erek
Gunderson ran twice for 13 yards
and Matheny ran twice more for
eight yards to the one yard line.
Matheny then kept the ball and
ran it in for a touchdown. The
extra point try failed and with
6:09 left in the first quarter, Hepp
ner had a 6-0 lead.
On Enterprise’s next posses
sion, Matheny intercepted quar
terback Clint Abies’ pass and re
turned it 38 yards to the 18 yard
line of the Savages.
Enterprise’s defense stiffened
and forced the Mustangs into a
fourth and 11 from the 19. Enter
prise then picked off Matheny’s
pass and took over at the four yard
line.
Heppner took over at the En
terprise 42, but were unable to
move the ball and punted it back
to the Savages at their 26 yard
line.
Enterprise then moved the ball
down the field aided by a fourth
down pass completion good for
19 yards to the Mustangs’ 25 yard
line. Jasen Montano ran the ball
in from 12 yards out for a touch
down. Bo Crawford kicked the
extra point, giving Enterprise a 7-
6 lead with 7:05 left in the sec
ond quarter.
On the ensuing kickoff,
Gunderson had an 88 yard return
for a touchdown called back on a
clipping penalty. The Mustangs
took over after the walk-off at
their own 45 and were moved
back to the 40 by a delay of game
penalty.
On third and 14, Schonbachler
took a screen pass to the 38 yard
line and a first down. A pass in
terference penalty on third and
nine gave the Mustangs a first
down at the 23 yard line.
A Mustang fumble was then
recovered at the 19 by the Sav
ages. A clipping penalty on En
terprise wiped out a first down
and forced the Savages to punt.
Gunderson returned the punt 22
yards to the 27 of Enterprise. Af
ter a short run, Gunderson caught
a screen pass from Matheny and
took it 24 yards for the touch
down. The extra point failed and
the Mustangs had regained the
lead at 12-7, with 1:12 left in the
second quarter.
Each team had the ball but were
unable to move it and the half
ended with Heppner ahead, 12-7.
Josh Roy grabbed a line drive
kick to open the second half and
returned it to Heppner’s 48 yard
line.
On the first play from scrim
mage, Travis Wilhelm ran the ball
52 yards for the touchdown. A
good block about 20 yards
downfield by Casey Evans helped
to spring Wilhelm free. The pass
failed and with 11:44 left in the
third quarter, Heppner now led
18-7.
Enterprise was forced to punt
on their next possession when
Evans chased down Abies for a
12 yard loss on third down.
Each team then forced the other
to punt the ball and the third quar
ter ended with Heppner ahead,
18-7.
Enterprise took over on their
own 21 and marched down the
field and scored a touchdown on

pass play. The Savages then went
for two and were successful on a
Chad Stangel to Abies pass. With
7:31 left in the game, Heppner
lead 18-15.
After Enterprise held, the Sav
ages took over at their own 44
after a Mustangs’ punt. The Sav
ages then drove down the field to
the nine yard line of Heppner, for
a first down and goal with 1:23
left.
A touchdown run was called
back by a clipping penalty, mov
ing the ball back to the 26 yard
line. After a short pass comple
tion and a short run, Gunderson
came up with his interception to
give the ball back to the Mus
tangs.
The Mustangs were able to run
out the clock and hold onto the
victory, with the final score, 18-
15.

“The game was a lot like our
season. We started out fast, kind
of stumbled a little, and finished
strong,” head coach Greg Grant

was a very tough team that is a
lot like us. We played just good
enough to win.”

Note: Before you read this,
there are some things should
know. This is entirely true. I
have also left out some very
gruesome parts that might make
the reader lose his last meal(s).
Hi! 1 can't tell you my name,
but it's not important. Well, my
friend "Bob" and 1 had just
gotten back from trick or treating
when we were examining our
goodies. Now most people who
own birds own parrots or finches.
"Bob" is a pelican In our treats,
we found an interesting box. It
said, "Odd Shapes in Chocolate".
I opened the box and inside there
were the oddest things! There
was a chocolate severed hand, a
gargoyle,
jumping
spider,
pumpkin and a cute little ghost
family. The father even had a
mustache and the mom had
earrings! Then I saw the odd
things. There was a popcorn
machine? And a coffee pot?
There was a doll's head in a
bottle and also a flying mouse on
a broom stick, an eyeball, a bat,
and a spider web.
Well, ever since I opened that
box, I have been under a curse.
Every time Halloween comes by,
I have to cat one of the
chocolates. Whenever I eat one,
I turn into that thing until next
Halloween. Remember, always
have your parents inspect and
open your candy.
