Last Saturday night the Mustangs were too hot
for those Tiger Scots to handle in their 68-54 win. The
Mustangs just had too much momentum coming o f their
93-58 win the night before against the Union Bobcats.
The Mustangs got off to an early start going up
18-8 in the first quarter. The leading scorer o f the game
was Chris Lien with 16 points followed by Jared Hud
dleston with 14. Although the Mustangs shot very well
from the field they struggled from the free throw line
making just 15 out of 27 shots.
The Mustangs are tied for the top o f the league
with a 3-0 record in the Blue Mountain Conference.

The lone Lady Cards
had their best weekend of
the season putting two in
the win column and scoring
over 50 points in the Satur
day game. With the wins,
the Lady Cards league mark
improved to 2-2.
A fast-m oving flu
bug hit the lone team mid
week, putting big question
marks into the starting lineup
w hen Sherman County came
to town on Friday night.
Two girls were missing and
several others crawled off
their couches prior to game
time. But the Cardinal of
fense was clicking regard
less as lone jumped out to
a 10-5 first quarter lead and
built it to an 18-11 margin
at halftime.
S h e rm a n C o u n ty
pulled to within three after
hitting back to back three
pointers early in the third
quarter. The Huskies took
their first lead o f the game
with 5:17 remaining when a
basket put them up by one.
Their biggest lead o f the
game was 36-33 with just
under three minutes to go.
S te f a n ie A rc h e r
came up big under the bas
ket when she put back her
own offensive rebound and
w as fouled on the play.
When she hit the free throw,
she tied the game back up.
Shortly after that, Makenna
Ramos stole the ball and got
it to Beth Morter for the lay
in and the Cards were up
by two.
T h e L ad y C ard s
missed two free throws and
the Huskies missed a pair in
the final two minutes as lone
clung to their two point lead.
With seven seconds remain
ing, Mary Rietman made a
free throw' to build a slightly
safer margin of three. Sher
man County was not able
to get a shot oft' in the time
remaining, giving the Lady
Cards the hard-fought, first
w in o f the season 39-36.
Stefanie Archer had
a tremendous double-dou
ble, leading all scorers with
13 points and pulling down
15 rebounds. She also led
the team in steals w ith four.
Beth M orter was also in
double figures with 12 and
led the team in assists with
three.
“ It was great to get
our first win o f the season,
especially against a good
Sherman County team that
was very quick and ran a
full court man-to-man press
the duration o f the game,”
said Coach Mike Garrett.
"We finally put full four
quarters together for the
first time this year. The fact
that I had two seniors home
w ith a nasty stomach flu and
two other starters sick on
the bench made for a very
entertaining game.”
The Cardinals were
on the road bright and early
the next morning, traveling
to Prineville to take on Cen
tral Christian. The flu kept
senior starter, Tiana Cama
rillo, home for the day.
The W hite Tigers
were shooting well in the
early going, jumping out to
a 6-2 lead. The Cardinals
w hittled aw ay and when
Beth Morter hit a three near
the end o f the first quarter,
they took an 11-8 lead. Thir
teen for 14 free throw shoot
ing in the second quarter
helped the Lady Cards build
a 29-20 halftim e lead. The
second half was not kind to
the White Tigers as the lone
team had their best quarter
o f the season in the third,
outscoring their opponent
17-4 and finished strong to
win the game 57-25.
"T his was a good
weekend for us. We have
been w o rk in g on b u ild
ing our confidence in our
shooting and it is starting
to show,” said Coach Mike
Garrett. "We were 17 for 20
from the free throw line in
the first half. That is a con
siderable improvement from
the beginning o f the season.
We take a lot of pride in our
ability to play good defense
and we switched back and
forth from man to man and
zone and the kids got very
aggressive in the second half
and held them to five total
points.”
The Lady Cards fin
ished w ith three players
in double figures. Stefani
A rcher and Beth M orter
shared scoring honors w ith
12 and Tyree Svetich added
10. Stefanie A rcher had
seven rebounds and two
blocked shots. Beth Morter
and McKenna Ramos each
