C hance Day (140) cam e through for the M ustangs with a pin in the second period and six points. Tomás Elguezabal (145) scored six points by forfeit in his weight class. F in ally up for H ep p n er was S p en cer Palmer (160) who gave a valiant effort but could not avoid the pin in the first period. The final score was Heppner 12, Enterprise 30. Heppner then took on Irrigon in th eir final c o n test. O ne again the Mustangs gave away points in the u p p er and low er weight classes. Tyler Robinson and Dillion Lutcher were both pinned in the first. Chance Day won by fo rfeit and scored six points. Tomás Elguezabal faired no better and was pinned in the first.
