Morrow County should be very proud.
With the support the Heppner-lone softball team had
last Friday in Corvallis, and the talent the young ladies
have, it’s no wonder they became state champions.
I was very proud to have watched the contest against
an excellent team from Glendale. I had the privilege of
coaching at Heppner High School during the years of
1961-1965. A great community.
