The offense was just short of 300 yards on the ground-near 289- and had over a 100 in the air. The defense ju st played well, and as the game went on, they got better and bet ter. I feel there were three outstanding players that contributed greatly to our win. Zac Orem, as quar terback he did a nice job for us. He ran well, threw accurate passes on plays that we needed, was good at his pitch and played a good technical game on the offense. On defense he just played well, once he got the hang of his position. Evan Rietm ann ran over 100 yards and did well in his new position of linebacker. He had four team tackles and was very effective all over the field. And Omar Juarez had 13 tackles and made a nice catch on of fense, as well as snagging an interception.” “Overall, I am real happy with the develop ment of the Cardinal team and I am beginning to feel like they are connecting to me and I feel more like myself on the field.” said Coach Weiper. “I look forward to coaching these boys and am feeling more at ease with them.” Photo by Sandy Matthews lone Cardinals will host Dayville/Monument at The Heppner Mustangs fought a long hard battle coming up short against Gold Beach 7 p.m. this Friday. “This Sept. 9 at Heppner.
