Lady M ustangs fall in championship game Alumni softball game
The Heppner Lady
to be held March 12
Mustangs went into the
district tournament in Pend
leton eying the number one
seed to the state tourna
ment and a home playoff
game. In 32 minutes on
the court at the Pendleton
Convention Center those
dreams were dashed.
Heppner was able
to rest on the first night of
the tournament and watched
as Pilot Rock beat Union
for the right to play for
the conference champi
onship. From the start of
the game Saturday night
it looked as though Pilot
Rock benefited from play
ing the night before. In a
hard fought, back and forth
game the Lady Mustangs
were never able to make
a run that would put them
over the top.
Many games this
year, the Mustangs held a
considerable edge at the
free throw line. On Satur
day night, however, the free
throw attempts were even
( 11) although Heppner had
nearly twice as many fouls
as Pilot Rock (20-11).
Pilot Rock led 19-
lb at the half and built on
that in the third quarter
when they held Heppner to
just three points in the pe
riod. Late three-point field
goals by Jessica Hughes and
Brynna Rust that looked as
though they might be the
spark needed to take the
lead each time were an
The 2010 Hepp
ner High School Softball

The game will be
played on Friday, March
12, at 4 p.m. on the Bob
Kilkenny Field. Any female

School, having played soft-
ball or not, are welcome to

swered by Pilot Rock.
Hughes led the Mus
tangs with 10 points. Joan
na Patton added nine points
and six rebounds. Erin Price
chipped in nine rebounds
and five points. Rust led
the defensive effort with
four steals.
Heppner will now
travel across the state to
play Friday in Riddle, who
is the Mountain View Con
ference #2 seed to the state
tournament. Riddle comes
into the game w ith an 18-7
overall record and 9-5 in
conference play.
Heppner was well
represented on the all-con
ference teams with four

es. Erin Price was voted

Hughes and Brynna Rust
