SIX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, February 9,2011 Lady Cards move to 11-1 in conference play The lone Lady Car dinals strengthened their hold on first place in the Big Sky East with three huge wins last week, two against east side rivals. With just two league contests left on the schedule, the Cards sport an 11-1 record in conference play and a 17-5 record overall. It didn’t seem like a Tuesday night game with a packed gym and the lone Community band playing but that was due to the importance of the match against Condon/Wheeler. The Cardinals put the first blemish on Condon/Wheel er’s perfect record back in January and the Knights were looking for payback as well as fighting for their playoff lives. After trailing by six towards the end of the first quarter, the Cardinals clawed their way back only to see CW use an 8-2 run to rebuild that six point lead. Behind Shadow Ken drick’s 11 point second quarter, lone took a 30-28 lead to the locker room at halftime. The third quarter was tight with neither team able to edge ahead by more than three points. Lacey Thompson hit a basket with 30 seconds left in the frame and the teams started the fi nal eight minutes of play all tied up at 40. Again Shadow Kendrick came up big with her own 7-3 run to start the fourth. The Knights refused to shake loose though. With 2:05 remaining in the game, lone led by a slim, one point margin, 49-48. With just over a minute to go, Shad ow Kendrick hit a jumper. Fifteen seconds later, Lacey Thompson was fouled on her way to the basket. That huge three point play pro vided the separation the Cardinals were looking for as they finally stretched out to a six point lea(f, $4-48. The Knights weren’t able to score on the next posses sion and then provided such an open look at the basket, that Collette Cason banked in a nice little shot to build the lead to eight points with 35 seconds remaining. The Knights made a three point play to reduce the Cardinal lead but Makenna Ramos Beth Morter made the extra pass to Lacey Thompson for a score and the team followed up with a textbook press break lay in, also by Lacey Thompson. With 1:35 showing, the Cardinals were up 50-41. Echo then sent the Cards to the free throw line several times in hopes of regaining posses sion of the ball. With 9.2 seconds remaining, Beth Morter hit the second of two for the final margin 51-41. Shadow Kendrick led the Cardinal scoring 15 points. JoAnna Patton add ed 11 with Lacey Thomp son and Beth Morter both had eight. Mary Rietmann had four, Collette Cason had three and Makenna Ramos had two.

These two teams were as evenly matched as any in the conference. Heppner came out playing well, on both ends of the court, scoring 29 in the first half to Enterprise’s 24. In the second half the M ustangs’ offense cooled off, only scoring 10 points. And, again, the sixth ranked Outlaws, for the second time, won by two points, 41-39. Bailey Bennett had a good game, scoring 14 points and pulling down 17 rebounds for Heppner. Point guard Alana Wilson JV also played well, scoring 13 points, two three-pointers and three for four from the line with six steals. This team has struggled to put together fourth quarter of basketball this season. We’re waiting for their best game to appear when they need it most, we believe it is coming. The Heppner boys’ team also lost to the En terprise Outlaws for the second time this year, 62- 50. They played pretty good against the fast paced Outlaws, scoring well and coming a few times within a couple points of the Out laws. Enterprise went on a late game scoring run to seal the win. The Heppner girls’ JV team got two wins on the road this past weekend. The trip started in Enterprise on Friday. The game started slow on of fense for both teams and be came a defensive struggle the whole way. After one quarter the Mustangs lead 3-1. In the second Ryan Dougherty got some of fense going with six and the defense took if from there, holding the Outlaws score less for the quarter, taking a 9-1 halftime lead. The Mus tangs looked like it might get going on offense with two quick baskets by Emma Osmin. But once again, the offense dried up. But the Outlaws got some offense going, getting 11 in the third and making it 15-11 after three quarters. In the fourth the Mustangs outscored Enter prise 7-5 to take away a 22- 17 win. The Mustangs were led in scoring by Dougherty and Osmin with six each, three each for Greenup and Sandford, and two each for Kindle and Day. Osmin also led the team in rebound ing with five. It was great defensive effort especially after their last meeting the Outlaws won 48-33. On Saturday Hep pner traveled to Union to take on the Bobcats. They got off to a very fast start leading 20-6 after the first quarter led by Makenzie Correa’s eight points, hit ting two three-pointers. That proved to be the dif ference in the games as the Bobcats kept chipping a way at the lead through the rest of the game, outscoring the Mustangs 33-22 the rest of the way. The girls pro tected the ball enough at the end and made just enough free throws to pull out a 42- 39 win. The scoring for the Mustangs was Correa with 16, Cassi Day seven, Emma Osmin six, Blake Greenup four, two each for Aimee Seines, Carrie Haguewood, Anne Gokesh, Larrisa Gray, and one for Lilly Sandford. Sandford and Day led the team in rebounding with seven and five each. Osmin had five steals to lead the team and Haguewood pro vided three assists. The two wins put the JV’s record at 8-6 with two games left against Ir- rigon and Stanfield.
