SIX - Heppner Gazette-Times. Heppner. Oregon Wednesday. November 11, 2009 Mustangs continue in state football action By Jared Lemnton Heppner and Mon roe both play ed a great gam e Saturday. Heppner had a solid defense, and did not allow Monroe to score, ending the gam e w ith a score o f 33-0. It was made very clear that Heppner would be mov ing on to the second round o f the playoffs early on in the game. The Mus tangs took the lead on their first play after Bryan Hol land ran a 52 yard touch down. Heppner kept their momentum from their first touchdown and scored two more in the first quarter, both by senior Brent Eck man. Despite having the football for m ost o f the second quarter, the M on roe offense could not pass the goal line against the stingy M ustang defense. The scoreboard read 20-0 at the half. Heppner got things going again pretty quickly a fte r h a lftim e . Eckm an rushed into the end zone for his third touchdow n, and David Bemtsen quickly put another six points on the board, making the score 33-0. A lth o u g h th e y scored no p o in ts in the fourth quarter, H eppner managed to finish strong, keeping a hold of their 33 point lead. Throughout the game, Brent Eckman ran for a total o f 91 yards, and Top Photo: #3 Brent F.ckman #3 jumps over the top of the Monroe Defensive line.

Cardinal football season comes to an end The lone Cardinals 2009 football season came to a different end than the one they envisioned at the hands o f a strong Cove team last Friday, November 13, in the first round o f the OSAA State 1A Football Playoffs. The Cardinals kept it close in the first half but saw the gam e get away in the second, falling to the Leopards 44-12. A big crowd showed up to enjoy the first home state football playoff game in 29 years and for the most part, stayed until the end, despite the chill o f the evening and the brisk breeze. “ It’s not the way you want to end the season,” said Coach Den nis Stefani. “But we came a long way and had a good season.” The Cards struck first early w hen Micah Still man cut loose for a 55 yard touchdown run on just the third play of the game. The extra point was no good but just like that the Cardinals were up 6-0. Cove turned the ball over on downs on their first series. The Cards notched a first down but gave the ball back to Cove on downs on the next series. Cove then got on the board a fte r th e ir q u a rte rb a c k moved the ball downfield 50 yards and a couple plays later, their star running back punched in from 21 yards out. Their extra point also failed the score was tied 6-6 w ith 4:26 left in the first quarter. The team s traded p o s s e s s io n s w ith each team’s defense stifling the other team ’s offense. Mid way through the second quarter, a flare up away from the ball resulted in a double ejection, lo n e ’s Micah Stillman and a play er from Cove were both rem oved from the game. Stillm an had been m ov ing the ball fairly well for the Cardinals, gaining 76 Providing fast, friendly, hometown service since 1959 final margin. Cove pounded the Cardinals with 397 yards on the ground on 42 carries. Delcurto (193 yards) and Cove quarterback, W itty (180) accounted for the majority. The Cardinals tal lied 204 yards rushing on 37 carries. Tanner Rietmann w as the C a rd ’s lead in g rusher (12-83) follow ed by Micah Stillman (8-76).

C o a c h S te fa n i w asn’t sure if it was the weather or nerves or some unknown factor that caused his team to fumble the ball seven times, losing it five times but he knew that it cost the team dearly. “You are not going to win a lot games with that many turn overs.” Despite the disap pointment o f the season’s abrupt end, Coach Stefani noted that it was a “pretty satisfying season” for the team. “Basically it was a very good season for the s e n io rs ” w ho rem in d ed their coach they went 1-8 in their freshman year and 8-2 in their senior year. “To have a turnaround like that is alright.” BMC all-league football teams announced T h e 2 0 0 9 B lu e Mountain Conference all league football teams were recently announced.
