OWGL
Mustang boys jump-start basketball season
Imbler received a foul call
on an offensive rebound
by Heppner. The Mustangs
made both free throws, ty
ing the contest at 21.
Pressure at the full
court press gave the Mus
tangs opportunities, but
they couldn’t convert the
turnovers by Imbler into
points. At the end of the
third quarter, the Panthers
pulled ahead 26-21. Hep
pner was able to pull w ithin
three points with 35 sec
onds left on the clock, but
a final score of 40-35 to
Imbler gave the Mustangs
the lose.
The H e ppner
Mustang basketball sea
son kicked off on Friday,
December 2 with games
against the Imbler Panthers
at Heppner High.
In the g irls’ var
sity game, the Mustangs
struggled with poor shoot
ing, going 12 o f 57 from
the field. The Panthers hit
a three-point shot at the
buzzer to end the first quar
ter 8-7 Imbler.
Heppner trailed the
entire second quarter, which
ended 19-11 Imbler. Late in
the third quarter, with the
Mustangs trailing 21-19,
The Mustang girls
shot nine for 11 from the
line for the game.
The varsity boys’
basketball game against
the Imbler Panthers showed
good promise for the Mus
tangs as they shot well from
the three-point line and the
free throw line, hitting six
for six. Heppner led the
game from the beginning,
with a halftime score of 26-
18. The Mustangs played
great defense throughout
the game, capitalizing on
Panther turnovers. The fi
nal score was 58-36 for the
Mustangs’ first win.
The Mustang bas
ketball teams then traveled
to Washington on December
3 to play the Tri-Cities Prep
Jaguars. The girls photo
copied their first game, out-
rebounding the Jaguars and
taking care of the basketball
with only 14 turnovers, but
they couldn’t execute their
offense effectively, only
hitting 3-20 for outside the
arc and unable to penetrate
the Jaguar defense. Despite
struggling offensively, the
Mustangs tied the game at
32 with only 3:40 left in
regulation. Tri-Cities Prep
shot well from outside,
though, and finished the
Mustangs’ run 42-37.
The Heppner boys’
varsity team also fell to the
Tri-Cities Prep Jaguars,
ending their second game
o f the season 50-28. The
Jaguars’ quickness on the
fast break took advantage
of the Mustang turnovers,
which plagued Heppner for
most o f the game.
Both team s will
play again this weekend
when Heppner hosts the
Hoop Classic Tournament,
with games on Friday and
Saturday. Other teams in the
tournament are lone, Cove
