By Rick Paullus
When a last second
field goal attem pt by the
Pilot Rock Rockets missed
by the narrowest of margins,
the Heppner Mustangs had
pulled out a 9-7 win over the
Rockets on Friday, Oct. 8 in
Pilot R ock in a wild
Columbia Basin Conference
game
The Mustangs, 3-0
in the CBC and 3-3 overall,
had gotten a 35-yard field
goal on a free kick from
freshman Matt McCabe with
48 seconds left in the game
to regain the lead at 9-7.
The Mustangs get a
much needed week off with
a bye before being at home
against the Weston-McEwen
Tigerscots on Friday, Oct 22
in CBC play.
The gam e started
out good for the Mustangs
as the Rockets were forced
to punt on th eir first
possession, which Jode Coil
retu rn ed 16 yards to
midfield. Matt Kenny ran
twice for eight yards and a
face mask penalty took the
ball to the thirty-eight After
a hold brought it back to the
forty-one, Tyler Boyer ran
for seven then the Rockets
jumped offsides on third and
five to give the Mustangs a
first down at the 28-yard
line M atthew VanCleave
then threw a pass that
bounced in and out o f the
defensive backs hands and
into Brandon Seitz hands

Seitz for 14 yards and a first
down at the sixteen, Boyer
ran for four, Kenny for four
and Coil for one before the

again and a short punt out
o f bounds gave the
M ustangs good field
position again inside the
R ocket 30-yard line.
However, a fumbled shotgun
snap was recovered by the
Rockets back at the Heppner
47-yard line. The defense
held again with the Mustangs
taking over on downs and
ran out the clock clinging to
a 6-0 lead at the half.
The Mustangs took
over at their own 24-yard
line after the second half
kick-off and went right to
work as Boyer ran three
times for 31 yards and a
personal foul penalty took it
down to the Rocket 29-yard
line Boyer ran twice for 13
yards then for eight more,
but a hold brought it back to
the 25-yard line. Boyer ran
for five and on third and
