The Heppner Mustang

Stanfield Tigers on Monday
night by a score o f 26-12.
Jan Glasen kicked off
for the M ustangs to start

drive by the Tigers that
ended with a touchdown,
the Mustangs found them
selves down by 6-0. The
teams then traded posses
sions as neither could move
the ball. The next time the
Mustangs got the ball the
offensive line blew open
some big holes. Big runs by
Jake Lindsay o f 17 yards,
Kaden Corbin for 19 and
Coby Dougherty for five led
to a 46-yard touchdown run
by Caden Hedman. Lindsay
threw a pass to Ryan Smith
for the two-point conver
sion to make the score 8-6
in favor of the Mustangs as
the first quarter ended.
On the next Stanfield

fumble that was recovered
by Riley Gorham. Three
plays later Lindsay threw a
short pass to Hedman. He
turned to the outside and
raced down the sideline
to score an 86-yard touch
down. That made the score
14-6.
The teams once again
traded possessions. On the
next Stanfield drive the
Mustang stopped them deep
in their own territory. A
personal foul penalty on
the Tigers gave the M us
tangs the ball at the 12-yard
line. Lindsay then threw a
touchdown pass to Hedman
that made the score 20-6 at
halftime.

The Heppner Mustang
fo o tb a ll team rem ained
undefeated on the season
with a hard-fought victory
over the Culver Bulldogs
last Friday night. Heppner
won the game by a score
o f 33-7. Culver had come
into the game undefeated
and highly-ranked. Their
style o f play led to a total
of 12 penalties being called
on their team; five of them
were for personal fouls, and
they also had one player
ejected from the game.
The Mustang coaches
had their team well pre
pared for this and the Hep
pner boys kept their cool
and played the game the
way it should be played.
They played hard and w ith
respect, honor and dignity.
The team was rew arded
for their hard work and ef
fort with a victory and sole
possession o f first place in
the Columbia Basin Con
ference.
H eppner kicked o ff
to start the game. Culver
put together a short drive
but the M ustang defense
forced them to punt. Once
the Mustang offense got the
ball they gained yardage on
five running plays by Brian
Rill. On a fourth down and
one play, the line opened
up a hole big enough for
R ill to get through and
he scored from 41 yards
out. The Jesse Corbin kick
made the score 7-0 halfway
into the first quarter. The
teams traded possessions
as neither defense would
give up ground. It looked
as if Culver would score the
next time they got the ball.
They drove it to the Mus
tang 11-yard line. Logan
Grieb intercepted a Bulldog
pass in the end zone to stop
the threat. The first quarter
ended with the score 7-0.
The Mustangs started
the second quarter with a
long drive. They could not
score and the Bulldogs took
over. That Culver posses
sion ended when Corbin
in te rce p ted a pass near
m idfield. The M ustangs
could not capitalize on the
turnover and the teams once
again traded possessions.
Heppner got the ball back
at their own 42-yard line
a fter a C ulver punt. On
the very next play, Kaden
Clark threw a pass to CJ
Kindle. Kindle got some
great downfield blocking,
and took it in for a 58 yard
touchdown. That made the
Mustang Quarterback Kaden Clark (#10) outruns the Bull
dogs for a successful handoff last Friday. Clark’s 136 yards
contributed to the Mustangs’ sixth straight victory this season
as they defeated Culver 33-7 on the Bulldogs' home turf. -Photo

score 13-0 in favor o f the
Mustangs at halftime.
H eppner got the ball
to start the second h a lf
and scored when Kindle
ran it in from one yard
out. Seven straight running
plays by Rill and Kindle
behind the offensive line
o f Weston Putman, Ross
Cutsforth, Patrick Collins,
Tom Gould, Kevin Murray
and John Propheter led to
the touchdown. This group
o f linemen dominated the
line o f scrimmage all night
long. This made the score
19-0. Aided by a question
able first down spot and a
pass interference penalty
on Heppner, the Bulldogs
scored on their next posses
sion to make the score 19-7.
The Mustangs got the ball
at their own 35-yard line
after the kickoff. A nine
play drive led to another
Heppner touchdown when
Rill ran it in from four yards
out. The score was now
25-7 just seconds into the
fourth quarter.
C u lv e r trie d to get
points back fast, but Clark
intercepted a long pass to
stop the threat. Once again
the team s traded posses
sions. Heppner got the ball
back with five minutes to go
and knew what to do with
it. Tommy Bredfield found
running room and gained 48
yards on the first play. Then
Five plays later the Mus
tangs scored on a two-yard
plunge by Rill. A pass from
Rill to Kindle for the two-
point conversion gave the
Mustangs a 33-7 lead. Cul
ver then mounted a drive to
try and score. The Heppner
defense stood strong all
night long and didn’t want
to give up another score.
Culver got it close to the
goal line with seconds left
in the game. The Bulldogs
used all of their timeouts to
draw up a play in which to
score. They ran three plays
from the one-yard line and
the stingy Heppner defense
stuffed them each time. The
M ustangs m ade a valiant
goal line stand and did not
let them get the touchdown.
The game ended with Hep
pner winning 33-7.
H e p p n e r ru sh e d the
ball behind that big and
strong offensive line for
290 yards in the game. The
stout M u stan g s d e fe n se
held the Bulldogs to only

passing and Culver 85. To
tal offense for the Mustangs

on the night for 136 yards
and a touchdown. He also

K indle led the receivers
w ith tw o c a tc h e s and a
touchdown. Corbin caught
one ball for 40 yards on
the night. Grieb had three

Grieb each had six tackles
in the game. Propheter was
