The Mustangs kicked
off to the start the game.
On the second play. Patrick
C ollins forced a Myrtle
Point fumble that Jesse
Corbin fell on at the 20-yard
line. Just four plays later
CJ Kindle ran the ball in
from six yards out for the
first Heppner touchdown.
The Corbin extra point kick
was good and the Mustangs
led the game 7-0. After the
Mustang defense forced a
punt, the Heppner offense
went on a seven-play drive
that ended with a fumble
at the Bobcat 12-yard line.
Once again the defense
forced a punt and the Mus
tangs got great field posi
tion at the 22-yard line. Just
two plays later. Brian Rill
scored on a 16-yard run up
the middle. The Corbin kick
was good and the Mustangs
led 14-0 at the end of the
first quarter.
On the first play o f
the second quarter. Kindle
intercepted a Bobcat pass
to give Heppner the ball
near mid-field. After a 14-
yard run by Rill, Heppner
scored again when quar
terback Kaden Clark hit
Weston Putman with a 30-
yard touchdown pass. The
Corbin kick was good again
and Heppner led 21-0 just
seconds into the quarter.
Another Bobcat punt gave
Heppner the ball at their
own 45-yard line. Clark
then hit Corbin with a pass
play that covered 55 yards
for another touchdown. The
missed extra point meant
the score was now 27-0.
The Mustangs got the ball
back and quickly scored
again. Clark hit Corbin with
a pass that covered 28 yards
for a touchdown. Corbin
then made the kick to make
the score 34-0. On the next
Myrtle Point drive they got
their only first down of the
game. The drive stalled and
they were forced to punt the
ball again. Heppner started
their next drive at their own
31-yard line. An eight-play
drive ended when Clark
found Corbin open again
and hit him with a 47-yard
touchdown pass. Again the
extra-point kick by Corbin
was good and the Mustangs
led 41-0 at halftime.
The Mustangs got the
ball to start the second half.
They moved the ball down
the field but could not score
and turned the ball over
on downs to Myrtle Point.
Once again the stingy Hep
pner defense forced another
punt and the offense took
over at their own 40-yard
line. After a big 20-yard
run by Clark, the Mustangs
scored again when Rill ran
it in from 18 yards out. Jake
Lindsay came in and threw
a pass to Skyler Palmer for
the two-point conversion to
give the Mustangs a 49-0
lead with three minutes
left in the third quarter. The
rest of the game would be
played with a running clock
as the Mustangs were ahead
by more than 45 points.
Many of the younger Hep
pner players were then ro
tated in to finish the game.
They were able to hold the
Bobcats scoreless the rest
of the way. They were also
able to move the ball well
on an 11 -play drive that ate
up the last seven minutes of
the game.
