On third and 10, Knowles caught a 19 yard touch down pass from Elguezabal, then kicked the extra point for a 14-0 lead at the end of the first quar ter. The Huskies put together their best drive of the game on their next series, but Brad Adams in tercepted a pass at the Mustang 22 to end the drive. Elguezabal picked up two and Adams five before M cCabe broke free for 27 yards to get into Huskies’ territory. After an incom plete pass, McCabe picked up four and Scott took a short pass from Elguezabal for 14 yards. Scott then went for 21 to the four yard line. Scott then went for two to set up a one yard run for McCabe for a touchdown. The kick was no good and the Mustang led 20- 0 midway through the second quarter. The Mustangs took over at their own 45 after the defense held the Huskies on fourth down. Matheny picked up 25 yards on a pass but a clip brought it back for only a five yard gain. McCabe rushed twice for 10 yards and a first down at the 40. Scott went for 18 more, getting a good block from Knowles. McCabe went for five but the Mustangs lost three on a fumble to make it third and eight from the 20. Knowles then took a hand-off on a double re- verse for a touchdown. After the kick failed, the Mustangs led 26-0 at halftime. The Mustangs took over at their own 30 after the second half kick-off and McCabe went for 11 after a first down to get the drive started.

After an offsides penalty and an incomplete pass, Matheny caught a six yard pass from Elguezabal. Scott picked up eight and Adams went for three more and a first down at the 10 yard line. Matheny then completed a 10 yard pass to McCabe for a touchdown. The kick was no good and the Mus tangs led 32-0. The defense forced another punt and Scott picked up good blocks from McCabe and Knowles and went 32 yards to the 25 of Sherman County. The Mus tangs were unable to move the ball and the Huskies took over at their own 20. The defense again held and the Mustangs took ever at their own 34 after a long punt return was brought back by a clip. Matheny went for 13 and McCabe seven, but a clip took the ball back to the 19. Knowles then picked up 44 yards on a pass from Matheny. The offense stalled and the Hus kies took over at their own 49 af ter a punt. The Heppner defense held though and took over at the Husky 49. Scott took a screen pass from Matheny for 13 yards. Things then got a little crazy as a hold on a long gain, an unsportsmanlike con duct penalty and another hold on another long run moved the ball back to the 43 of the Mustangs. McCabe picked up 11 yards on a pass from Matheny and Adams went for 11 more, but it wasn’t enough as the Huskies took over at their own 37. Elguezabal then picked off a long pass at the 34 of the Mus tangs. A fumbled pitch lost seven, but Scott went for 15, then four more and a first down.
