Bulldogs drop Mustangs
By R ic k Paulies
The Heppner Mustangs traveled
to Culver on Saturday, Oct. 10,
and were beaten by the Bulldogs,
32-22.
The Bulldogs jumped out to an
8-0 lead on their first possession
on a 26-, and touchdown run by
quarterback Ryan Overcash.
Overcash passed to Jeremy
Benningfield for the two-point
conversion.
The two teams then traded
pants before the Mustangs took
over on their own 26- yard line.
The Mustangs then began driving
the ball, picking up three first
downs getting to the 4 1 of Culver.
A lateral pass was fumbled on the
next play and Benningfield
picked up the loose ball and ran
55 yards for the touchdown. The
two point conversion was good,
giving Culver a 16-0 lead 2:12
left in the first quarter.
The Mustangs then recovered an
unsuccessful onside kick at their
own 49. Heppner then drove
down to the Culver three yard line
before a fumble on a handotT
gave the ball back to the
Bulldogs.
The Mustangs’ defense held and
go the ball back at their own 42-
yard line. Heppner’s’ third fumble
of the first half gave the ball back
to the Bulldogs at the 50 yard
line.
The Mustangs took over on
their own 35- yard line on the
second half kick-off. A 30- yard
run on a sweep around left end b,
Derek Gunderson took the ball
down to the 23- yard line. Ryan
Matteson then hit Tim Dickenson
for a 23-, and touchdown pass to
put the Mustangs on the board.
The pass on the conversion
attempt was now good to make
the score 16-6 with 9:12 left in
the third quarter.
On Culver's next possession,
Gunderson intercepted a pass,
giving the Mustangs the ball at
their own 33- yard line.
But the Mustangs gave the ball
right back on their fourth fumble
of the game.
The Bulldogs
moved the bell down to the six-
yard line where Seth Boyer ran it
in for the touchdown. Overcash
passed to Alex Carlson for the
two-point conversion to increase
the bulldog lead to 24-6 with 5:37
left.
The Mustangs started at their
own 22-yard line and drove down
to the Culver six with the aid of a
29- yard run by Craig Scott. The
Bulldog defense held and took
over on downs.
The defense held as Blake
Knowles and Clint Bellamy
sacked Overcast for a nine-yard
loss to bring up fourth down. The
Mustangs took over at the
Bulldog 30-yard line after the
short punt.
A couple of short runs and a 14-
yard pick-up by Gunderson set up
a 13-yard run for a touchdown by
Gunderson. Matteson passed to
Scott for the two-point conversion
to close the score to 24-14 with
9:04 left in the game.
The Bulldogs then drove down
the field and scored another
touchdown on a sic-yard
Overcash pass to Benningfield.
Overcash passed to Carlson for
the two-point conversion to make
the score 32-14 with 3:24 left.
The Mustangs took over at their
own 35 after the kick-off sailed
out of bounds. Gunderson picked
up seven yards on a pass from
Matteson, followed by a 21-yard
pass to Jared Eckman. Matteson
hit Eckman for a 39-yard
touchdown pass and then hit
Casey Evans for the two-point
conversion to make the score 32-
22 with 2:12 left.
The Mustangs got the ball right
back and a 26-yard catch by
Evans took the ball down to the
30- yard line of the Bulldogs.
Overcash then intercepted a pass
and took the ball back to midfield
to kill the drive.
The Mustangs defense held and
forced a punt, taking over at their
own 31 yard line. The game
ended, however, on a 26 yard
pass to Eckman.
