The Heppner volleyball teams
are making a habit of sweeping
their CBC counterparts, and
Tuesday, October 6, was no
different. The Mustangs trotted
over to Athena to take all three
matches.
The Mustang varsity made it
look easy as they kenneled the
Tiger-Scots,
15-6,
15-5.
Weston-McEwen was never able
to come within three points as
the mighty Mustangs bumped,
set, spiked and served their way
to victory.
The JVs' first game looked
much the same after Stephanie
Clough strung together eight
points in a row to give the
Mustangs an 11-1 lead, and they
never looked back, winning 15-
7.[l
Game two was exciting with
the Tiger-Scots jumping out to a
0-5 lead and the Mustangs
playing catch-up for the game.
Heppner pulled ahead 12-9. only
to have Weston-McEwen tie the
score at 13, then again at 14.
The Tiger-Scots gained a one
point advantage, 14-15, when
the Mustangs earned the side out
and Allison Sykes went back to
score the final three points to put
the Mustangs over the top. 17-
15, for the win.
The JVs posted 81 percent
service success with Abby Kahl
(10/10). Leah Denton (4/4),
SanJuanita Elguezabal (2/2),
Trisha Adams (2/20), and Amy
Drake (2/2) all posting 100
percent service success.
The Heppner Cs dumped their
first game in a what seemed like
a marathon, 10-15. The young
Mustangs reared up in the
second game and quickly put the
Tiger-Scots away 15-6. Game
three looked like another
Mustang run away with a 12-6
lead, when the Tiger-Scots came
scrambling back to tie it up. At
that point Jenni Patton with her
patented serve, scored the final
three points for the 15-12
Mustang victory .
The Heppner Mustangs' varsity
net squad displayed a hint of
their dominance as they defeated
the Pilot Rock Rockets. 15-5,
15-4, on Tuesday, September
29, in both teams' Columbia
Basin Conference debuts.
The Mustangs led throughout
both games as the Rockets were
never able to mount an effective
attack.
Heppner's service
success was 86 percent (36/42),
with 100 percent serving coming
from Casey Ingraham (7/7),
Amber Peck (5/5), Katie Sherritt
(2/2) and Jaci Hughes (2/2). Jill
Barber scored a total of 10
points as she posted 12/13
service success.
Heppner's junior varsity put up
identical 15-8 scores to jettison
the Rocket JVs. The Mustangs
led throughout game one with
Pilot Rock never able to come
closer than four points.
On Saturday, October 3, the
three Mustang net squads once
again swept the competition, this
time at Wahtonka.
The varsity Mustangs took
their third CBC game in two
games. 15-13, 15-5. The first
game was close with the lead
see-sawing, but when the dust
cleared it was Heppner 15-13.
Game two was Mustangs all the
way with the Eagles never
threatening.
The junior varsity's match
could be summed up with two
words - service success. After a
slow start Heppner won the
match 13-15, 16-14. 15-5.
In game one the Mustangs
lead 13-5 when their game went
to pieces and the Eagles slowly
played themselves back into the
game to take the w in. Heppner's
team service success was dismal
in game one as they were only
able to put 21 of 30 serves into
play (70 percent).
The momentum was definitely
with Wahtonka in game two.
The Mustangs pulled ahead 9-4,
only to watch the Eagles wing to
a 13-9 lead. At that point the
Heppner team dug down and
battled back over the next five
rotations to tie the score at 13,
then again at 14, before going
ahead 16-14 to stay alive in the
match.
In game two the
Mustangs successfully served 81
percent (21/26).
The tie-breaker game was
knotted at five when Abby Kahl
went back to blast in 10 straight
points for the Mustang win.
Using only four servers, the
Mustangs posted 89 percent
(16/18) service success for the
final game
The Heppner Cs continued
their winning ways, taking
Wahtonka 15-12, 15-1. In game
one the young Mustangs found
themselves down 7-12 when
Jenni Patton went back and
served them well, scoring points
eight through 15 for the w in.
The Mustang Cs used only
