Mustang golfers battle rough Heppner students place in

Junior High students
Battling through bad
weather conditions all day
long, the Heppner High
School girls’ and boys’
golf teams won titles at the
Enterprise tournament.
With consistent winds
blowing 20 mph and gusts
up to 43 mph it was hard to
get the ball to do what you
wanted it to do or go were
you wanted it to go.
There were also rain
squalls that moved through
the area, bringing a drizzle
at times.
The temperature was
in the mid-40s and, with
the wind chill, it felt much
colder than that. Snow
could be seen falling in the
mountains nearby. It is an
understatement to say that
the teams had to play in
very tough conditions.
The Heppner girls’ team
won the tournament with a
score of 420. Enterprise
finished in second place
with a 452. Blake Greenup

weather conditions and
won individual medalist
honors by shooting an 88.

with a score of 103. Paige
Grieb, Macy Gibbs and
Maddie Lindsay played
well for the Mustangs and
factored into the team win.
Logan Grieb battled
the weather and 31 other
players to win the boys’
division. Grieb recorded
two birdies on the day
and won with a score of
81. John Propheter, Jesse
Corbin, Shane Miles and
Caden Hedman all made
the trip and played some
good golf for Heppner in
the less-than-ideal weather
conditions. The Mustang
team score of 384 beat
teams from Enterprise
(386), Cove (404), Wallowa
(417), Stanfield/Echo(499)
and Grant Union (504).

Friday, May 2, 11
students met at Heppner
High school at nine in the
morning to head to Portland
for two days of fun. The
students began their trip
with an art and culture event
at the Portland Expo Center.
That Friday afternoon,
the students attended a
performance by the famous
Canadian Cirque du Soleil.
This circus is the largest
theatrical producer in
the world, known as “A
dramatic mix of circus arts
and street entertainment.”
After the performance,
the students went to the
Spaghetti Factory for dinner,
the circus performance still
buzzing in their minds.
Comments such as, “It was
awesome,” and, “It gave
a creative outlook on the
evolution of man,” were
said across plates of pasta.
Everyone said that they
had fun.
The next day, Saturday
May 3, 11 future Heppner
writers attended the thirtieth
annual Oregon Writing
Festival that was held at
Portland State University.
Over 300 students from
Oregon schools attended
the daylong w ritin g
celebration. Students
attended workshops and
sharing groups where three
renowned writers were
and helpful ideas on writing
styles.
According to Mallorie
Jones, a Heppner senior,
“The writing festival is
constructive and helps
young writers be more
confident in themselves.
You learn how to share your
ideas and see a different
perspective of writing by
listening to those around
you share their own ideas.”
Junior high student
Sophie Grant commented.
“Most of what we did in
the workshops I already
knew, but it still helped me
sharpen the skills I already
have.”
All 11 students were
grateful to the Booster Club
and the Arts and Culture
Club for their generous
donations. Natalie Grigg,
Isaac G rigg, L illian
Sandford, Mallorie Jones,
Makenzi Hughes, Joe
Schmidt, Kai Arbogast,
K ellie E ad ler, C ara
Arbogast, Katlyn Harper
and Sophie Grant would not
have been able to participate
in either event without their
support.
