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.
Stats for the game are
Jordan Bailey (#23) and Aidan Wright (#24) head toward the
goal line during the first home game of the 2012-13 Mustang
football season. The Mustangs lost 28-6 against Willamina in
the non-league opener on Sept. 14. -Photo by Sandy Matthews
