Lady Cardinals b6at Lady Vikings, 57-36
By Kara Miller
The lone High School basket
ball teams travelled to Umatilla
for junior varsity and varsity ac
tion on Tuesday, Dec. 30.
The Lady Cardinals challenged
the 2A team with quick-feet de
fense and fast-paced offense to
win the varsity game 57-36. The
tip was won by the Lady Vikings’
Jenny Tvel. The Cards answered
by turning the ball over, then the
Vikings returned the favor.
First points for the Lady Car
dinals were from Niki Sullivan on
an assist from Brenda Burright.
The momentum picked up as the
Cards continue with four unan
swered points from the field, but
they also gave Umatilla enough
trips to the charity line to keep the
score close. The free throw shoot
ing of the Vikings closed out the
first quarter, with lone in the lead,
10-7.
Burright jumped out to a quick
start in the foul category, gaining
three in the first quarter, which
torced her to sit out the second
on the bench. The Cards opened
the second quarter with posses
sion, but turned the ball over to
send it down to the other end of
the court.
Getting into bonus early from
fouls called against them, the lone
defense was in need of an offen
sive boost. The Lady Vikings
capitalized on the lagging defense
of the Cards and continued with
to score with their accurate per
centage from the free throw line.
At halftime, the score was tied at
26-26, and Umatilla had earned
18 of their total from free throws.
Beginning the second half,
Umatilla received a technical foul
for too many players of the court.
Nikki McElhgott stepped up to
the line for the Cardinals and
made both free throws, putting
lone in the lead by two. That was
the spark that lone needed and
they stepped up their swarming
defense, which overpowered the
Vikings’ guards.
The Cards began their third
quarter with defense and fast
breaks and ended the period of
play in the lead, 42-30. The mo
mentum didn’t slow as the Lady
Cards continued their pressure
defense throughout the final eight
minutes and they pulled away to
a 57-36 win.

Heppner Mustangs beat Pirates, 46-41
By Molly R hea
Wearing black armbands in
honor of Shad Hisler, who was
killed in an auto accident, the
varsity Mustang girls battled
Riverside and their emotions on
Saturday, January 4, to finally
overtake the Pirates in the fourth
quarter, winning 46-41.
Starting the game playing a
zone defense and looking flat on
offense, Heppner trailed 8-10
after the first eight minutes.
Things just seemed to go from
bad to worse in the second
quarter and the Mustangs found
themselves down by seven
points, 14-21, going into the half
time break.
A resolute Heppner squad came
onto the court for the second half
and demonstrated their inner
strength by playing some "in
your face" basketball. Late in the
third quarter the Mustangs tied
the game at 25, then pulled ahead
to lead by two, 27-25, going into
the final period.
The fourth quarter was tight,
with the score tied several times.
The Mustangs sunk 19 points to
finish off the Pirates and ended
the game with their heads held
high. This win improves the
varsity win-loss record to 6-3.
Jill Barber and Petra Elguezabal
shared top scoring for Heppner
with 11 points each. Elguezabal
also grabbed seven rebounds and
three steals. Lexi Matteson put
in eight points, scooped three
boards, had two assists, a steal
and blocked a shot.
Mindy
Bmchus cleared nine rebounds
for the Mustangs.
Riverside's Adrienne Wolf led
all scorers with 13, with Brooke
Barton and Kara Sandlin each
