‘UHM 2 '* > W Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, January 28,1998 - FIVE Mustang varsity girls shoot down Rockets Wahtonka Eagles slip away By Molly Rhoa from Mustang JVs The Mustang varsity girls shot down the Rockets in Pilot Rock, on Friday, January 23, winning 52-37.The Rockets were undefeated in CBC action prior to Friday night’s game. With this big win the Mustangs evened the win-loss record with the Rockets at 3-1, and both teams were only a half game back from Weston- McEwen at 4-1. With the Pilot Rock fans refusing to sit down until the Rockets first bucket, the Mustangs raced to an 8-0 lead, keeping the Rock fans on their feet until Amber Evans hit a trey with 2.33 minutes remaining in the first quarter. At that point the Rockets recovered from their stall, putting in 11 unanswered points to lead 11-8 after the first eight minutes. In the second quarter the Mustangs were down by eight points, 9-17, before they dug in their heels to tie the score at 17, then pulled ahead, 23-20, going into the halftime break. The Pilot Rock fans should be grateful they don't stand until their team posts a score in the second half, as the Heppner team held the Rockets scoreless throughout the third quarter. Meanwhile the Mustangs kicked in 13 points to take at big 16 point lead, 36-20, after three stanzas. It was two and a half minutes into the fourth quarter before Amber Evans hit a free throw to score Pilot Rock's 21st point. Although the Rockets were able to score an additional 16 points, the Mustangs continued their bucket brigade, pouring in 16 points in the final period to clinch the win. By Molly Rhea The junior varsity Mustang girls watched the game slip away on Saturday, January 24, losing 26-28 in the Wahtonka gym. The Eagles full court press, coupled with poor free throw shooting by the young Mustang squad effectively denied Heppner the victory. The Mustangs got off to a slow start and trailed 2-9 at the end of the first quarier. Six Heppner players scored in the second quarter while not allowing the Eagles a single bucket and the Mustangs pulled ahead 12-9 at the halftime break. The Mustangs were out-scored 7-12 in the third quarter to lose the lead and the period ended with Heppner behind 19-21.

Pilot Rock By Merilee McDowell The Heppner Mustang C-team girls competed against the Condon Blue Devils Tuesday, Jan. 20, in Heppner and lost to the Blue Devils, 38-21. The Mustangs were stymied by Condon's full court press in the first quarter of the game but they came back, breaking through the press in the second quarter, matching Condon point for point. However, Heppner's best efforts still left them down 10- 1 7 at the half. Mandy Sneddon had a team- high six points to go with her two rebounds and one steal. Mindy Smith led the Mustangs with eight rebounds, scored four members and will remain in place throughout its useful life. A small memorial service, at tended by family and friends, will be held as the sign is installed. As one family member said, “The senseless loss of Jo and Howard has been very painful to us, but if just one person sees this sign and «thinks twice before get ting behind the wheel, then some thing positive will have come out of this tragedy.” Heppner ( 26) Ropp, Clough, Pointer 2 3-4 7, Kahl 2 2-7 6, Rhea, Adams 0 1-2 1, Papineau 3 1-5 7, Maben 0 1-2, Sykes 2 0-0 4 Totals 9 8-23 26.
