Mustang JV girls beat TigerScots in OT
By Molly Rhea
The junior varsity Mustang
girls beat the Weston-McEwen
Tiger- Scots at Athena, Friday,
January 9, winning in overtime,
37-34. This game was won from
behind the freethrow line with
the young Mustangs sinking
19/28 (79 percent) compared to
2/6 for the foul-prone Tiger-
Scots.
The contest started out slowly
and was tied at a measly six
points apiece after the first eight
minutes of play. The second
quarter was witness to improved
scoring. Although the Mustangs
put in only six points from the
field they sunk seven points from
behind the charity stripe to put
them up 19-13 at the half.
Heppner maintained their lead
in the third quarter, with Amy
Papineau posting up for two
points at the buzzer to preserve
their six-point advantage. The
Tiger-Scots
scored
an
unanswered seven points to start
the fourth quarter and take a one-
point lead.
With eight seconds remaining
and again leading by one, 30-29,
the Tiger-Scots made the mistake
of fouling Ashley Ropp. Ropp
sunk the first half of her pair and
the second shot went off the rim
into the hands of a Tiger-Scot.
Heppner was able to play tight
defense to deny the shot and send
the game into overtime.
All seven of the Mustangs'
overtime points came from
behind the freethrow line with
Ropp sailing in an additional five
of six and Kathleen Greenup
putting in two of four to send the
Tiger-Scots back to their kennels.
Greenup led all scorers with 14,
six coming from freethrows.
