Heppner volleyball tied for
second in conference
Mustang fillies sport pink for breast cancer in
October
The H eppner High
School volleyball team
went 2-1 this past week in
Blue Mountain Conference
play. This puts their overall
record at 12-9 and their
league record at 7-3. That
has the Mustangs in a tie
for second place in the
conference.
The team is wearing
p in k w a rm -u p s h ir ts
and socks this month in
support of Breast Cancer
A wareness m onth. The
month started with a match
against the Irrigon Knights
on Thursday night. A large
home crowd was on hand
to cheer for the girls. They
won the match in four sets
by scores of 25-16, 23-25,
25-6, 25-17.
The M ustangs next
played the Union Bobcats
and Enterprise Outlaws in
Union on Saturday. It was
a hard-fought match with
the Bobcats that went all
five sets. The Mustangs
prevailed and got the win
by scores of 25-21, 25-22,
16-25, 17-25, 15-8. It was
a closely-contested match
throughout. There was
tremendous fan support for
both teams the entire match;
at times it was so loud in the
gym that the players could
not hear their coaches give
instructions.
In the long run, the
overall good play of the
entire Mustang team proved
to be too much for the
Bobcats.
A fter the long and
draining match with Union,
the team next played the
Enterprise Outlaws. In a
match that went four sets,
the Mustangs lost to the
Outlaws 23-25, 19-25, 25-
21, 24-26.
The next action for the
Mustang Volleyball team
is at home this Saturday,
Oct. 12, with the Pilot Rock
Rockets and the Weston-
M cE w en T ig e r S c o ts ,
starting at noon.

The H eppner H igh
School Mustang football
team continued its winning
ways by beating the Union
Bobcats by a score of 46-0
last week. The win improved
the team ’s record to 5-0
overall and 3-0 in BMC
league play. The Heppner
defense pitched its fourth
consecutive shutout for the
season and the offense lit
up the scoreboard with its
high-octane offense.
The Mustangs won the
coin toss and elected to
kick off in order to get their
prized defense on the field
first and let them set the tone
for the game. The defense
did ju st that and forced
the Bobcats to punt on
their first two possessions.
After the second punt the
Mustangs had good field
position on the Union 26-
yard line. Three plays later
the Mustang offense scored
on a seven-yard run by
Jordan Bailey. That made
the score 6-0 in favor of the
Mustangs at the end of the
first quarter.
To start the second
quarter the Mustangs started
a drive at their own 16-yard
line. Brian Rill exploded for
35 yards on a run around
left end to start the drive.
He then ended it six plays
later when he scored from
four yards out. The PAT
failed again and the score
was 12-0.
The Heppner defense
forced a Bobcat punt and
started another drive deep
in their own territory. This
Mustang drive started at the
13-yard line and lasted for
ten plays before Rill scored
