However, an inexplicable
momentum swing saw the
surging Huskies roar back
to take the first game 27-
25. Sherman kept things
rolling their way in game
two, taking that game 25-
19 and then finished off the
Cardinals 25-12 to win in
straight sets.
“I can’t think o f too
much good to say about
that m atch,” said Coach

The Heppner Junior
High football team lost a
tough battle with the Riv
erside Pirates by a score of
22-14. The Mustangs ran
into a team that had much
more size on the line for the
second week in a row, but
the Mustangs used quick
ness and blocking skill to
open holes for the backs
to run through all evening
long. It was a hard-hitting
gam e, w ith many long
drives for both teams.
The first drive of the
game for the Pirates ended
when Clyde Britt sacked
the quarterback, causing a
fumble that was recovered
by Logan Grieb. The Mus
tangs took over and scored
after a seven-play drive
that ended with a one-yard
plunge by Caden Hedman.
The two point conversion
was scored on a pass from
Grieb to Kevin Smith. That
made the score 8-0 in favor
o f the Mustangs. A long
drive by the Pirates on the
very next possession led
to a touchdown. A suc
cessful PAT tied it at 8-8.
The Pirates scored again
