SIX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, September 19,2012 Heppner volleyball Mustangs falter against Willamina continues to roll The H eppner varsi ty volleyball team began league play in John Day in the first three-way league match of the season. Grant Union, Heppner and Elgin took turns playing each other in a match o f best out of five sets to win the match. Thq Lady Mustangs first played a young Elgin team, winning the first three sets 25-17, 25-16 and 25-6. The Mustangs looked slug gish in the first set but had gotten into their rhythm by the third set, winning the match. In their second game, against host Grant Union, they matched up pretty well against the Prospec tors. The Mustangs served the ball well from the line and sharpened their play making skills by winning the match in three sets, 25- 18, 27-25 and 25-17. I'he Mustangs are now 2-0 in league and 12-2 overall in the BMC league. They have a home game Thursday, Sept. 20, at 5 p.m. against the Irrigon Knights and a home three- way against Enterprise and Union at noon on Saturday, Sept. 22, in the HHS gym. Junior Mustangs trample Rockets The Heppner Mustang Junior High football team opened their 2012 season with a convincing 28-0 win over the Pilot Rock Rockets last Thursday. The Mustangs kicked off first and forced the Rockets to punt on their first drive. Heppner started on the 50-yard line and, after a 13-play drive, Logan Grieb scored on a two-yard run. The point after failed and the score was 6-0. The defense, which was dom inating all day long, forced another Rocket punt. After some strong running by Kevin Murray, the Mustangs scored on a 22-yard pass from Logan Grieb to Caden Hedman. The PAT was missed again, making the score 12-0. The next Mustang score came much as the last one did, this time on a 17-yard pass from Grieb to Hed man. The two-point con version run by Murray was successful and the score was 20-0. Grieb scored the next Mustang touchdown on a 35-yard run up the middle of the Rocket defense. Jake Lindsay ran in the PAT to make the final score 28-0. The offensive line made good running lanes for the backs to gain yardage. The defensive line and line backers controlled the line o f scrimmage and helped the team hold Pilot Rock to only two first downs for the entire game. Lead ing tacklers for the game were Tim Jaca, Clyde Britt, Jose-Angel Garcia, Kevin Murray and Kolby Currin. The next game for the team is this Friday, Sept. 21, in John Day at 11 a.m. Despite high hopes, the 1 leppner Mustangs couldn’t quite catch their stride dur ing their third game o f the season, a home game against Willamina on Sept. 14. The Mustangs failed to build momentum in the first three quarters, kept at zero by the end of the third quar ter. A final-quarter shut-out by the Mustangs, giving them their only points of the game, wasn’t enough to turn the tide and defeat the Bulldogs. The Mustangs lost the challenge by a bru tal 28-6. During the first quarter, Willamina Bulldogs scored a touchdown when BulldT- revor Hunt (#12) handed off ball at the 14 to Tyson Jahn (#10), who ran the ball from the 14 and carried the ball to the endzone for an 11 - yard gain and touchdown. Hunt attempted the point after touchdown from the 6, handed off ball at the 6 and ran the ball from the 6, car rying the ball to the endzone for a three-yard gain and two point conversion. Also in the first quar ter, the Bulldogs scored a touchdown when Hunt handed off ball at the 6 to #5, Travis Kurz, who ran the ball from the 6 and car ried it to the endzone...a three-yard gain and touch down. Hunt then attempted the point after touchdown from the 11, dropping back to the 11 and throwing an incomplete pass. D uring the second quarter, the Bulldogs scored again when Hunt dropped back to the 15 and threw a pass completion. Kurz carried the ball to the end- zone for a 12-yard gain and touchdown. Hunt attempted the point after touchdown from the 6, again throwing an incomplete pass. In the third quarter, the Bulldogs continued to hold the Mustangs by the throat as Hunt ran the ball from the 5 and carried the ball to the endzone for a two-yard gain and touchdown. Hunt then attempted the point after touchdown from the 6, running the ball from the 6 and carrying the ball to the endzone for a three- yard gain and two point conversion. Despite taking a beat ing in the first three quar ters, the Mustang rallied at the end to shut out the Bulldog powerhouses and take the points for them selves. Jaden Orr (#13) handed off the ball at the 18 to #26, Earl Propheter, who ran the ball from the 18 to the endzone, giving the Mustangs a 15-yard gain and touchdown.
