Third Quarter Big second half carries Mustangs past Vikings By Rick Paullus The Heppner Mustangs used a big second half to take a 46-12 win over the visiting Umatilla Vikings on Friday, Sept. 20, in their first Columbia Basin Conference game of the year. The Mustangs (4-1 overall) led just 13-6 at halftime, but turned up their play a notch in the second half, outscoring the Vikings, 33- 0, until the last minute of the game. The Mustangs play at Pilot Rock on Friday, Sept. 27, at 7 p.m. for their next CBC game. The Mustangs got off to a good start taking over at the Umatilla 45-yard line after forcing a punt as Brad Adams rushed twice for 21 yards and Chuy Elguezabal hit Justin Botefuhr for a 15-yard gain but they turned the ball over on a fumble at the fourteen. The defense held again with the Mustangs taking over at the Viking thirty-seven after another short punt and Tyler Boyer rushed three times for 24 yards but a holding penalty brought it back to the 20-yard line. After a short gain on a pass to Luke Murray, Elguezabal kept the ball on the option for 18 yards and a touchdown. Kyler Lovgren kicked the extra point to make it 7-0. Boyer intercepted a Viking pass on their next possession but the Mustangs were unable to move the ball. The teams traded punts before a punt return for a touchdown by Elguezabal was called back for an illegal block giving the Mustangs the ball at their own 28-yard line. The Mustangs then gave the ball to Adams as he rushed eight times for 65 yards taking it in from the one for the touchdown. The kick was no good but the Mustangs led 13-0 with 3:35 left in the first half. The Vikings scored a touchdown with a little over a minute left to get within 13-6 and the ensuing kick-off was returned by Boyer for a touchdown but a penalty brought the ball back to the Mustang 23-yard line. The Mustangs brought the second half kick-off back to the Viking 49-yard line and right to work as Adams picked up four yards, Botefuhr caught a 21 -yard pass from Elguezabal, Adams went for five, Boyer went for six but a hold took it back to the nineteen. Boyer ran for seven, Elguezabal hit Luke Murray for a nine-yard gain to the three where Adams took it in for the touchdown. Elguezabal hit Murray for the two-point conversion to make it 21-6. The defense held forcing a punt which Elguezabal brought back 76 yards for a touchdown and this time there were no flags. The conversion failed and but the Mustangs led 27-6 with 5:34 left in the third. After forcing another punt, Conner Kilkenny and Brian Smith tackled the Viking punter for an eight-yard loss giving the Mustangs the ball at the 26-yard line. The Mustangs were unable to get a first-down and gave the ball back to the Vikings at the 17- yard line, but Donald Adams picked off a pass at the 20-yard line. The Mustangs fumbled the ball back to the Vikings but Botefuhr picked off another deflected pass and returned it to the Viking twelve. Faced with a fourth and seven at the nine Adams took a screen pass into the end zone getting good blocks from Adam Bergstrom and Brian Haguewood. Lovgren’s kick was good to make it 34-6 after three quarters. The Mustangs forced another punt but coughed up the ball again as the Vikings recovered another fumble at their own 39-yard line. The Vikings were forced to punt again but the snap sailed over the head of the punter which was scooped up by Robert Whalen at the twenty-five who ran it in for the touchdown to make it 40-6. In the Vikings next drive, Jode Coil picked off a pass and returned it 48 yards to the 32-yard line. Matt Kenny ran twice for five yards before Cody Walton gained 25 yards on a reverse. Walton then took it in for the Mustangs final touchdown. The Vikings scored a meaningless touchdown with less than a minute left to make the final 46-12. Brad and Donald Adams again led the Mustangs defense with 19 points each with Murray adding 18 points, Coil 15 points and Smith and Botefuhr getting nine points each. Adams finished with 110 yards on 15 carries with Elguezabal gaining 52 yards on 18 carries and completed seven of 17 passes for 66 yards. Walton carried five times for 46 yards and Boyer had 33 yards on seven carries. Murray caught three passes for 20 yards and Botefuhr had two receptions for 36 yards.
