Admiration expressed for Heppner’s
support of athletes and students
Too much time may have passed, but I can’t let go
o f wanting to express my admiration for Heppner’s display
o f support for their athletes and students. While at the state
championship football game in Hillsboro, my Heppner
pride was bursting at the seams, not only for the football
team but also for the great tunes being performed by a
talented team of band members. 1 was also impressed with
the increased number of students involved in band - bravo
to the great leadership. All is a tribute to the dedicated
parents, teachers and coaches that encourage and support
these outstanding students. My heart will always be split
between Heppner and the big city.
