Catlin Gabel, 49-44, in Friday's

“I was very pleased with the
way the girls played, especially
Friday night,” commented Coach
Dana Reid. “It was one of the
strongest season openers for
Heppner I've seen in several
years.”
Shelley Rietmann led the
Mustangs against the Catlin

11 rebounds. Lacey Matteson
added 11 points and dished out
six assists, Brett Barber snagged
11 boards and four steals, while
