The Heppner Mustangs
avenged a season-opening loss a
year ago to defeat the visiting
Scio Loggers 29-16 on Friday,
Sept. 3. Despite giving away
five fumbles and having several
penalties, Heppner, ranked 10th
in the state, got 102 yards
rushing and three touchdowns
from junior Craig Scott to pull
away from the eighth-ranked
Loggers in the second half.
Scio took over at their own 40-
yard line after the opening kick
off and the Mustangs' defense
held to force a punt. The snap
from center was high and senior
Michael Schonbachler rushed in
to tackle the punter for a loss to
their own 22.
On the first play, Scott broke
free for a 12-yard gain before
getting hit and fumbling the ball.
Scio was forced to punt again,
with Scott returning the ball 32
yards to the 20 of Scio. Scott
carried
for
four
yards,
Schonbachler for two and Scott
for eight more for a first and
goal at the six. Faced with a
fourth and four, Blake Knowles
made a diving catch of a pass
from Ryan Matteson for the
Mustangs' first touchdown of
1999. Knowles' kick-was good,
giving Heppner a 7-0 lead with
4:43 left in the first quarter.
Michael McCabe hit a deep
kick-off, pinning Scio back to
their own nine. The Mustangs'
defense again held, and, after a
penalty on the punt return, took
over at midfield.
Schonbachler ran for six yards,
then five more for a first down at
the end of the first quarter.
The Mustangs then fumbled to
give the Loggers the ball at their
own 44. Knowles sacked the
Logger quarterback for an 11-
yard loss to force another punt at
their own 21-yard line.
The Mustangs' third fumble
gave the Loggers their best field
position of the night at
Heppner's 26 yard line. The
Loggers made the Mustangs pay
by moving the ball to the end
zone, capped by a two-yard run
by Dennis Jackson. Tyler
Stillman ran in the PAT to give
Scio an 8-7 lead with 8:54 left in
the first half.
Scott returned the kick-off 45
yards to the Scio 35 to give the
Mustangs good field position. A
three-yard run by McCabe and a
pass interference penalty gave
the Mustangs the ball at the 18-
yard line Scott then carried
three straight times, the last for
two yards and a touchdown.
Schonbachler then caught a
deflected pass from Matteson for
the PAT to give the Mustangs a
15-8 lead with 6:45 left in the
first half.
The Loggers then put together
their only sustained drive, taking
over at their own 45, and
marched to the end zone, capped
by a four-yard Stillman run.
Stillman ran in the PAT to give
the Loggers a 16-15 lead at
halftime.
The Mustangs took the second
half kick-off, but couldn't move
the ball and were forced to punt.
A good punt by Levi Geer
pinned the Loggers deep and the
defense held to force a punt The
Mustangs gave the Loggers back
the ball by fumbling the punt at
the Logger 45.
The Mustang defense again
held and a Matt Baker sack
forced the Loggers to punt. Scott
took the punt and, getting a good
block from Jake Roy, returned it
47 yards to the Scio 21.
Geer ran twice for seven yards
and Scott gained five yards to
the nine. Scott then took it in for
the touchdown and Matteson ran
in the PAT to give the Mustangs
a 23-16 lead with 4:32 left in the
third quarter.
Scio took over at their own 22
after the kick-off, but the
Mustangs' defense, led by
Schonbachler, held, forcing a
punt. A three-yard punt gave the
Mustangs good field position at
the 32 of Scio.
Scott ran for 12 yards and
Matteson hit Joe Papineau for a
13-yard pass to the seven. Scott
then took it in, the last two yards
in the air, for his third
touchdown. After a long penalty,
Knowles' extra point try from 39
yards was no good, but the
Mustangs held a 29-16 lead at
the end of the third quarter.
The fourth quarter was spent in
the Mustangs' side of the field as
Heppner's defense didn't give
Scio anything. The Mustangs'
offense moved the ball, but
mistakes and another fumble
kept them from scoring.
Michael Schonbachler and
Craig Scott led the defense with
30 and 26 defensive points
respectively. Levi Geer and
Michael McCabe each had 13.
Blake Knowles had 11 and Kyle
McDaniel and Ryan Matteson
each ended up with 10.
Scott led the rushing attack
with 102 yards and three
touchdowns on 16 carries.
Matteson finished four of eight
passing for 26 yards and a
touchdown.
The Mustangs will travel to
Umatilla on Friday, Sept. 10, for
their next game. This will be
another
non-league
game
beginning at 7:30 p.m.
