by Rick Paullus
The Heppner Mustang boys'
basketball team dropped their
opening pre-season game to the
visiting Condon Blue Devils, 71

lead after one. Travis Camine
scored half the Blue Devils
points in the quarter.

after a nice pass from Scott to
start the second quarter. After a
Condon basket, Scott scored and
Matteson hit two free throws to
give the Mustangs their biggest
lead of the game at 23-18. The
Blue Devils then went on a 13-3
run before Michael McCabe hit a
layin on a nice pass from Scott to
end the first half with the
Mustangs down 31-28.
Condon increased their lead to
49-39 after three and led 55-41
with 6:00 left in the game before
the Mustangs began a comeback.
Blake Knowles hit two free
throws and a short jumper and
Scott hit two more free throws to
make it 55-47. After a basket by
Camine, Knowles and Joe
Papmeau each scored on rebound
baskets to get within 59-51. Two
Blue Devil baskets sandwiched
around a Matheny three-pointer
made it 61-54 and Papmeau and
McCabe each hit two free throws
to get the Mustangs to within 61-
58.
The Mustangs could get no
closer as the Blue Devils held on
for the win.
Matteson hit 11 of 14 free
throws and finished with a game
high 19 points and four steals.
Matheny ended up with 12 points
and Knowles finished with 11.

rebounds and Scott and McCabe
