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.

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. The
Mustangs tied the score at 21
points in the fourth quarter but
were unable to pull ahead and
Pettyjohns
lost by a measly two, 26-28.
Kim Pointer and Amy Papineau
shared top scoring for the
Mustangs with seven points each.
Pointer also pulled down six
rebounds, blocked three shots
and handed out an assist.
Papineau
grabbed
seven
rebounds and four steals while
blocking two shots.
Wahtonka's Jessie Ziegler led
all scorers with 11 points.

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.”
