running back for a four yard loss.
Stefan M atheny ran for 16
yards after the Viking punt to get
the Mustangs out to the 30 yard
line. Michael McCabe ran for four,
then Scott went for five twice to
pick up a first down. The drive
stalled there and the Mustangs
were forced to punt.
The Vikings picked up 22 yards
on a pass but couldn’t go any far
ther. A shanked punt for only four
yards gave the Mustangs theball
at the 50 yard line.

Ryan Matteson, pulled up and
threw a pass to M cC abe.

b locks do w n field from Joe

go for a touchdoyvn Brad Adams
ran in the two-point conversion to

another punt which McCabe re
turned 31 yards, picking up an
other good block from Papineau,
to the 46 yard line.
McCabe went for four, then an
offsides penalty was called on the
Vikings. McCabe picked up an
other eight, Adams six, and Scott
took a pitch on the option for 22
yards to the 15, then ran six more
yards to the nine. McCabe went
in from there for his second touch
down. The point after failed and
the Mustangs led 14-0 late in the
first quarter.
After the Vikings picked up a
first down inside Heppner terri
tory, Papineau stepped in front of
a short swing pass and returned it
51 yards for a touchdown as the
first quarter ended. Knowles’ kick
was good to give the Mustangs a
21-0 lead.
Matheny intercepted a pass on
the Vikings' next possession and
returned it to U m a tilla ’s 42.
Matteson then hit Papineau in
stride down the middle for his sec
ond touchdown in less than a
minute and a half. Knowles hit the
extra point for a 28-0 lead.
The Vikings were forced to
punt again, but the M ustangs’
drive ended with a fumble inside

a holding penalty brought it back
to the 36 yard line. Scott then ran
for 14 and Matheny caught a short
pass to the 19. Knowles then made
a great juggling catch over the
middle for a touchdown, then
booted the extra point for a 35-0
lead.

again and a fumble on a bad snap
was recovered by Knowles at the
Vikings’ 17 with 1:17 left in the
first half.

Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes. Chamber Manager
October literally flew by like
the leaves whipping off the trees.
All who participated in the
scarecrow contest made it a
unique month for Heppner as
people enjoyed the 24 lively
creations scattered about town.
Winners will enjoy their dinners
donated by Gary and Dian at
G&D's Linger Longer (formerly
Cal's). Chamber appreciated the
spirit.
Speaking of spirit, the Chamber
and merchants are working hard
to plan yet another great "Stroll
Heppner and Light Parade",
scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 30.
One and all are invited to begin
stringing lights on their entries to
help make this the best light
parade ever. Soon entry forms
will be available at the Chamber
office and various businesses
around town. Be sure to pick one
up. Out o f town entries are
welcome.
Along those lines, think "light
up Heppner". If you are one of -
those great volunteers who puts
lights on a tree, plan to be on
hand to deck the halls on *
Tuesday, Nov. 28. Assistance
will be provided for the larger
trees. Pull out those lights and
check to see that they are in
working order. An "elf will be in
touch soon.
It just seems that some force
has speeded up the time. We're
supposed to be getting 24 hours a
day, the clock says we are, but
why oh why do those hours go so
rapidly? Is it because we are
trying to live more than one life?
Would a clone help? An
especially
hard
working
volunteer said that the only way
to get out of a job in Heppner is
to either move or die. A better
idea is to find some more
volunteers to "make it happen".
Chamber members Dave
Sykes, Darrel Raver and Jerry
Breazeale have jumped into the
thick o f things to make jobs
happen in the Willow Creek
Valley. These "three musketeers"
are on the go to market
Heppner's industrial site in
conjunction with the Willow
Creek
Valley
Economic
Development group, and buy-in
from business owners. One of
their goals is to contact all
Heppner High School alumni.
Hats off to these fellows and to
all who are working to bring
family wage jobs to south
Morrow County.
Pause this weekend to pay
tribute to our veterans, explain
Veteran's Day to your children
and grandchildren, give a veteran
a hug. Where would America be
without them?
Thought for the week: "You can
tell a lot about a person by the
way he/stie handles three things:
a rainy day, lost luggage, and
tangled Christmas tree lights."
