By Molly Rhea
The Condon Blue Devil
varsity net squad whirled into
Heppner
on
Thursday,
September 17, and capitalized
on Mustang miscues and
mistakes to take the match, 8-
15, 12-15.
Condon led from start to finish
in game one, pulling ahead, 13-
2, before the Mustangs were
able to battle back and post up
some points.
In game two the strong Blue
Devil team was able to quickly
overpower the Mustangs to go
ahead 9-3.
At that point
Brooke Boyer went back to
serve up five points, three of
which were aces, to bring the
Mustangs within one.
Although the Heppner team
put up four more points, they
proved to be too little, too late,
with the Blue Devils taking the
match in two.
Heppner's service success was
a dismal 67 percent (37/55) for
the match versus the 86 percent
(55/64) posted by the Blue
Devils. Only two Mustangs,
Jaci Hughes (3/3) and Trisha
Adams (1/1) were 100 percent
from behind the service line.

scoring four kills along with
four solo blocks; Casey

blocks; and Janelle Healy went
7/9 with three kills.
The JV Mustangs were the
only Heppner team able to
exorcise the Blue Devils this
week, taking the match in two
games, 15-10, 15-7.
Heppner appeared to be in
complete control throughout
game one, leading all the way
and cruising in for the win.
Abby Kahl and Ashley Ropp
did the setting and Kahl posted
five kills in the game.
Game two was marred by
multiple service errors, with
Heppner holding a slim, 7-4,
lead when Ropp went back to
serve up eight unanswered
points and bring the Mustangs
up to 14. After several long
rallies, Tracy Rankin served
game point for the match.
Trisha Adams and Ropp
performed the setting duties for
game two.
As a team the JVs put up 78
percent service success for the
match with Leah Denton (8/8),
Kahl (5/5) Macy Rhea (4/4),
Tracy Rankin (2/2), Laurie
Michael (1/1) Amy Drake (1/1)
all serving 100 percent.

14/16 to score 11 points for the
match.

jumped out to a 5-0 lead and
young Mustangs were unable to
turn it around as Condon strung
together several points at a
stretch to steadily increase their
lead and take the win, 3-15.
In the second game, with the
score tied at four. Krista Adams
went behind the service line to
rack up points five through 10,
with four of those counters
coming from aces. With this
strong lead the Mustangs used
only two more setters to win
game two, 15-5.
The Mustang Cs were leading
11-2 in game three when they
allowed the Blue Devils back
into the bam.

through 15 to take the win for
the Blue Devils.
