Heppner quarterback Chuy Elguezabal gets set to make handoff during Saturday's playoff game
By Rick Paullus
An efficient passing game helped
the second-ranked Heppner Mustangs
blow past the visiting Portland
Chnstian Royals, 48-0, on Saturday,
Nov. 10, in the first round o f the
OSAA U.S. Bank C lass 2A state
playoffs. The Royals were geared
up to stop the run so the Mustangs
went to the air as Stefan Matheny
caught three touchdown passes, tw o
from Chuy Elguezabal and one from
Michael McCabe on a halfback pass.
The win puts the M ustangs in
the quarterfinals against the Oakndge
Warriors in Oakridge on Saturday,
Nov. 17, at 1 p.m. The ninth-ranked
Warriors won the Tri-Co. League
title and won their first round game.
34-14 over Bonanza.
The Royals caught the Mustangs
o ff guard by com ing out in a no
huddle offense, driving the ball down
the field and appeared ready to score,
but Mdtheny got the first o f his two
interceptions in the end zone to stop
the drive.
A short gain by McCabe set up
a 48-yard pass play to Matheny from
Elguezabal to the 29-yard line o f
Portland Christian. After an illegal
procedure penalty, Kyler Lovgren
ran twice for 10 yards and on fourth
down, M cCabe hit a wide open
Matheny for a 24-yard touchdown.
Elguezabal kicked the extra point
to make it 7-0.
The Royals turned the ball over
again on a fumble recovered by
Adam Bergstrom at the Portland
Chnstian 36-yard line. Matheny ran
for two, and. after an incomplete
pass, McCabe went for 13 yards to
the 22. After an offsides penalty on
the Royals, Matheny made a diving
catch for a 14-yard gain to the three.
Lovgren took it in on his second try
for the touchdown, then Matheny
hit Luke Murray in the back o f the
end zone for the two-point
conversion and a 15-0 lead.
On the Royals' next possession,
David Norton made a juggling,
diving interception in the backfield
to give the Mustangs the ball at the
Portland Christian 45-yard line.
Elguezabal hit McCabe for 17 yards
but the Royals' defense stiffened
to bring up a fourth and eight.
Elguezabal found Matheny behind
the defense for a 28-yard touchdown
to make it 21-0 late in the first
quarter.
Brian Rust made a tackle in the
backfield fora six-yard loss to force
a punt which took a Mustang bounce
and was downed at the Royals' 24
yard line. Matheny ran for one then
five to set up an 18-yard scramble
for a touchdown by Elguezabal, who
also kicked the extra point to make
it 28-0 early in the second quarter.
The M ustangs' defense held,
forcing a punt which was returned
to the Heppner 46. Lovgren ran for
one, then six, Brad Adams went for
two, then eight and a first down.
Elguezabal went for three, then nine,
McCabe ran for five, then caught
a 12-yard pass from Elguezabal on
a fourth and five down to the three.
A motion penalty brought it back
to the eight where Lovgren went
for five and McCabe took it in for
the touchdown. Matheny ran in the
two-point conversion to make it 36-0
at halftime.
The Mustangs received the second
half kick-off, but couldn't move the
ball and were forced to punt. The
Royals moved it down to the
Heppner 31-yard line before they
were stopped.
McCabe went for nine and Adams
ran for seven more to set up a 53-
yard touchdown pass from
Elguezabal to Matheny. The pass
failed on the conversion but the
Mustangs led 42-0 midway through
the third.
The Mustangs held again to force
a punt which Matheny returned 40
yards, getting several good blpcks
along the way, down to the Portland
Chnstian 28-yard line. After a fumble
lost four yards, Brian Rust ran for
five then caught a 21 -yard pass from
Tanner Britt on fourth down to the
10. But they went backward from
there and a 35-yard field goal try
came up short.

One young Lexington
boy found a way to turn "lemons
into lemonade" this Halloween.
Brent Eckman, 10, a
fourth grader at Heppner High
School, was challenged this
Halloween after he had been
diagnosed with diabetes. Brent
still went trick-or-treating, but
turned his bounty into a benefit
for someone else.
The day after Halloween
Brent, with the help o f his mom,
Judy, began selling his candy-for
a good cause. He raised $62.30
which he donated to the Matheny
family fund. David M atheny was
critically injured in a horse riding
accident. Brent got the idea to
donate to the M atheny fund
because his older brother Jared
and M atheny's older son, Shane,
are good friends.
