The Heppner Mustang
golf teams came home with
championships from the
Enterprise Outlaw Golf
Tournament. The girls’
team continued its winning
streak and the boys’ team
got back into the winner’s
circle as it shot a 374 on
the day to take the boys’
team title.
Emily Rea took home
first-place individual hon-
ors for the girls. Paige Grieb
brought home the third-
place medal and Maddie
Lindsay finished in fourth
place. Amanda Rea was
fifth as the girls team had
four of the top five individ-
ual golfers. Riane Dompier
also golfed for the Mus-
tangs at the tournament.
Sophie Grant did not make
the trip to Enterprise, as she
was home sick.
The boys’ team was led
by Logan Grieb, who fin-
ished in second place. John
Propheter, Ross Cutsforth,
Brian Rill and Tommy
Bredfield all golfed well
and contributed to the Mus-
tang team win.
Both teams are at
the district tournament at
Pendleton Country Club
this week. Both teams are
looking to defend district
championships that they
won there last year. Logan
Grieb also will be defend-
ing his individual district
championship that he won
as a freshman last year.
