The varsity Heppner girls had
all they wanted and more from
Weston-M cEwen on Friday,
February 9.
The Mustangs
barely got the bam door shut on
the rabid TigerScots to eke out a
41-40 victory and hold onto their
third place standing in the
Columbia Basin Conference.
With both teams putting on full
court pressure, it was more than
three minutes into the game
before Megan Bailey took the lid
o ff the basket and put in an
offense rebound. The Mustangs
lead 13-8 when the first quarter
buzzer blew.
The second period started out
fast and rough. The Tiger-Scots
hit their shots, outscoring the
M ustangs. 9-18, to take a four-
point lead into the break.
The Heppner squad attempted
but they were only able to score
eight, while holding Weston-
McEwen to eight. The Mustangs
continued to trail, and the Tiger
Scots, along with their rowdy
fans, were hoping to hold the
advantage.
In the fourth quarter Shelley
Rietmann took the reins to score
nine o f her 13 points. Through
the final period, the Mustangs
had to lean into their traces, just
to stay close.
With two minutes on the
clock the scoreboard read 37-40
when M arissa McCabe hit an
eight-foot jum per to pull the
M ustangs within one. Then a
Lacey
Matteson
pass
hit
Rietmann for the bucket to put
the Mustangs ahead. Heppner
controlled the ball and played out
the clock for the win.
The Mustangs out-rebounded
W eston-McEwen, 48 to 34, with
Rietmann pulling down 14
boards and McCabe grabbing 13.
The win came from behind the
charity stripe, as the Tiger-Scots
managed to hit only one o f five
free-throws, while the Mustangs
converted six o f 11.
There is a good chance that
these two teams will meet in the
first game o f the district playoffs.
The Mustangs will need to have
their heads up and control the
game to keep on top o f this rough
and tumble team from Athena.
