While the Heppner varsity girls
held the usually prolific Pilot
Rock squad to a measly 37
points, the Mustangs were unable
to mount enough offense to
overcome the visiting Rockets on
Friday, February 16, and went
down, 32-37.
The Mustangs came out with a
stingy man to man defense, with
SanJuanita
Elguezabal
and
Marissa McCabe aggressively
hitting the boards. The Mustangs
and their fans were a little
frustrated by the lack of whistles
in this very physical game, with
only one foul called in the first
quarter. The scoreboard read
Mustangs, 6, Rockets, 10, after
one.
Lacey Matteson swooshed in a
three-pointer to start the second
quarter out with a bang. Both
teams appeared a little flustered,
which resulted in several
turnovers and wild scrambles,
then Matteson hit an inside
jumper to bring the Mustangs
within one, 11-12. At the break
the Mustangs were trailing, 11-
14.
Diminutive Brett Barber fired
up her team, and the crowd, early
in the third when she blocked a
shot. Matteson hit the back side
o f a two freethrows to pull
Heppner within two points,
McCabe hit a bucket and
Matteson added another, but the
Rockets again pulled away to
lead by six, 16-22, after three.
Shelley Rietmann put in an
offensive rebound to start the
Mustang scoring in the fourth.
Matteson hit a three-point goal

and the Mustangs took the lead,
23-22. A Rocket made a lay-in
and was fouled to again take the
lead. Rietmann sunk two from
behind the charity stripe to pull
the Mustangs even again.
The teams traded goals with
Rocket Catherine Barkley hitting
a three. Back down the floor in
the Mustang key McCabe hit a
field goal which Pilot Rock’s
Erin McLaughlin answered with
a bucket, so McCabe came back
down the floor to put in another
jumper, making the score 29-32.
With time running out, the
Mustangs were forced to put the
Rockets on the line in the attempt
to gain possession. This strategy
fell flat with Pilot Rock hitting
eight o f 15 free throws in the
final period.
With less than two minutes
remaining, Meghan Bailey came
in and nailed a three-pointer to
bring Heppner back within four
points, 32-36. Time ran out on
the Mustangs, but the Heppner
team proved Pilot Rock can be
contained, and the Mustang fans
were treated to quite a game.
Heppner outscored Pilot Rock
from the field, but the contest
was won from behind the line
with the Rockets converting 11
of their 17 freethrows, while the
Mustangs went behind the stripe
only four times to make three.
Matteson put in an excellent
game, leading the Mustang
scoring with 17 points, two
assists, three rebounds, and two
steals. McCabe pulled down
eight rebounds while putting in
eight points, with Elguezabal
grabbing six boards.
