By Larry Palmer
The
H eppner
w restlin g team tra v e led

Powder, and the Heppner
Mustangs. The host for this
year was Elgin/Im bler in
Elgin.
The Mustangs’ first
encounter on the mats were
the Outlaws of Enterprise.
Due to lack of wrestlers in
the lower weights (103,119,
135, and 152) and upper
weights (171, 189, 215, and
285) Heppner had to forfeit
the scores in these weights.
F irst up for the
M u stan g s
w as
T yler
Robinson (125) who was
pinned in the first period.
Then Dillion Lutcher (130)
struggled into the second
p erio d but w as pin n ed .
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.
The last Mustang to wrestle
for the meet was Spencer
Palm er w ho m ade it the
second period before being
pinned.
