Reedsport scores late to nip Mustangs
The Reedsport Braves
ended a 70-yard drive with
a three-yard touchdown pass
with 1:41 left and hung on
to beat the H eppner
Mustangs 35-34 on Friday,
Sept. 10 in Heppner.
The
M ustangs
dropped to 0 and 2 on the
year and have one more non
league game against a very
good W illam ina team on
Friday, Sept. 17 before
beginning Columbia Basin
Conference play on Sept. 24
at Stanfield.
Neither team could
move the ball through the
first seven minutes o f the
first quarter as each team
punted twice. On the Braves
third punt, T yler B oyer
gathered it in and went 64
y ards up the R eedsport
sid elin e, g ettin g a huge
block from Brandon Seitz,
for the g a m e ’s first
to u chdow n.
M atthew
VanCleave hit Kory Paullus
for the two-point conversion
to make it 8-0.
Matt Kenny picked
off a Reedsport pass on their
next possession and returned
it 23 yards to the Braves 47-
yard line, but the Mustangs
couldn’t take advantage and
were forced to punt again as
the first quarter ended.
The team s traded
punts again until the Braves
picked off a screen pass and
returned it 65 yards for a
touchdown. They completed
the two-point conversion to
tie it at 8-8.
That was short lived
though as Boyer gathered in
the kick-off and raced 82
yards for a touchdown to
give the Mustangs a 14-8
lead after the tw o-point
Heppner lineman Peter Geer (75) scoops up a kickoff
conversion run was stopped
short.
The B raves cam e
right back and scored taking
a 15-14 lead after kicking
the extra point with 3:49 left
in the first half.
On the ensuing kick
off, it was Aaron Delveaux’s
turn to take it 83 yards for a
touchdow n and give the
Mustangs a 20-15 lead after
the tw o-point conversion
run again failed.
But the B raves
resp o n d ed w ith a long
touchdown pass to take a 21 -
20 lead at the half, ending a
wild second quarter in which
the teams combined for 35
points.
The Mustangs took
the second h a lf k ick -o ff
starting at their own forty-
two and moved inside the
Braves forty as Kenny ran
twice for 10 yards and Boyer
ran three times for 11 yards
but a hold took the ball back
to midfield. Boyer ran twice
for 10 yards and on fourth
down, VanCleave hit Seitz
for a 15-yard gain to the
twenty. Boyer ran twice for
seven yards but the drive
stalled and the Braves took
in the back o f the end zone
for a 20-yard touchdow n
pass. VanCleave hit Seitz for
the two-point conversion to
give the Mustangs a 34-29
lead with 7 minutes left.
The B raves took
over at their own thirty after
a long k ic k -o ff by M att
M cCabe and began their
game winning drive. The
Mustangs almost had them
sto p p ed but the B raves
com pleted a double pass
faced w ith a fourth and
sixteen at midfield, good for
22 yards and a first down.
The M ustangs had
one last chance as Casey
Maben jumped on an onside
kick at the Heppner forty-
eig h t but four stra ig h t
incomplete passes gave the
Braves back the ball and
they were able to run out the
clock for the win.
The defense was led
by Boyer with 34 defensive
points with Kenny adding 24
points, Paullus 19, Seitz 18,
C oil
and
F ran cisco
E scalan te 10 each and
D elveaux and G ordy
Wegworth nine points each.
The Mustangs held
the B raves to 42 yards
rushing, but gave up 190
yards through the air.
Boyer had 67 yards
on 20 carries and Kenny
rushed nine times for 45
yards for Heppner.
