The Heppner Mustang
football team finished up
their non-league schedule
with a 59-13 victory over
the Tri-City Prep Jaguars.
With the win the Mustangs
record now stands at 4-0.
Heppner kicked off to
start the game. The Mus-
tang defense forced a three
and out punt by the Jag-
uars. Heppner got good
field position at their own
37-yard line and only took
three plays to score. In his
first varsity start, Kevin
Smith threw a pass to CJ
Kindle for a 37-yard gain.
Two plays later Tommy
Bredfield ran the ball in for
a touchdown from 21 yards
out. Logan Grieb kicked
the point after and Heppner
led 7-0.
The next time the Mus-
tangs got the ball, Smith
found Kindle open again.
This time they connected
for a 64-yard catch and run
touchdown. That made the
score 13-0 with four min-
utes left in the first quarter.
On the next Tri-City
Prep drive, Weston Put-
man stepped in front of the
receiver and intercepted
the pass. Putman ran the
ball in for the touchdown
from 48 yards out to make
the score 19-0 as the first
quarter ended.
Putman scored again
for the Mustangs early in
the second quarter. Smith
found him open over the
middle and completed a
touchdown pass to him of
36 yards. The Grieb point
after touchdown kick was
good and Heppner led 26-
0. After the Jaguars turned

when patrons go drop off
their utility bills, they can
