Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon
Earn a straight shot through districts to state
ence league.
The first set went to the
TigerScots 25-19. The Mus
tangs didn’t serve well from
the line, having eight er
rors, for TigerScots points.
The second set was tied at
16, then 18. The Mustangs
finished strong and took the
second set 25-20. Heppner
immediately went up 9-2
in the third set; that match
also ended in the Mustangs’
favor, as they dominated
25-13.
The fourth match was
close, knotted at 13 midway
through the set, then at 16,
and again at 19. With the
score at 22-22, spectators
were on the edges of their
seats. The gym went wild
as the score climbed to 24
and up. Heppner finally
took the hard-fought set
26-24, lighting a fire that re
duced to ashes the Weston-
McEwen TigerScots perfect
season.
With these victories,
the M ustang volleyball
team has earned itself an
easy slide through districts
and into state finals. The
H eppner team played a
home game against Stan
field Tuesday night (results
unavailable at print time),
which determined whether
they go into the district
tournament this weekend in
second or third place.
The second and third
p lace team s w ill play
against each other Saturday
at noon in Stanfield, with
the winner going on to play
Weston-McEwen for the
district championship.
Regardless of the out
come, high school sources
say their performance in the
season has earned them an
automatic shot at the first
round of state finals Satur
day, Nov. 3.

Refreshments served
The H eppner youth
program helmet fundraising
drive was reported to be a
huge hit this year. The team
was able to purchase 57
new helmets for players in
grades five through eight.
“The helmets we had
were outdated or would
becom e outdated soon,
so we really needed some
help getting the kids into
the best and safest helmet,”
said Heppner High School
coach Greg Grant.
“We sent out the word
through the newspaper and
word of mouth and we had
a trem endous response.
It is so gratifying to work
in a community that con
sistently steps up for their
kids,” said Grant.
The helmets are the
newest Zenith model that
has technology built in to
help with a better fit.
“The research shows
that the brand of helmet is
really of no consequence in
prevention of injury, but the
fit and how we teach is the
most important aspect. The
Zenith model was the best
in fitting our kids, so we
went with that model.
Donors who helped
make this possible included
Ken and Carrie Grieb, Vir
ginia Grieb, Casey Fletcher,
Cody Fletcher, Sandi Han

Wilson, Palmer Roofing,
H eppner B ooster Club,
Howard Bryant, Todd and
Melissa Lindsay, Andy and

had grass. He was quite a player and had to pass up a chance
to play with Pacific University to stay and run the family
