FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, January 13, 2016 Mustangs sweep irst week of league play Mustangs wrestle their way to podium in Riverside Rumble The Heppner Mustang boys’ basketball team got two big wins last weekend to open up Columbia Basin Conference play. The Mus- tangs (12-1, 2-0) beat the Irrigon Knights 44-42 and the Stanield Tigers 83-65. Heppner traveled to Irrigon to take on the de- fending state champion Knights. Irrigon lost several key players from last year’s team, but they still have many good players who know how to win. In this game, Heppner got to the basket early and often and raced out to a 21-14 lead after one quarter. Neither team could get much going in the second quarter as the Mustangs could only score nine points and the Knights seven. The Mustangs con- tinued to lead the game at halftime 30-21. Irrigon slowed the game down in the third quarter and got some good shots. They outscored the Mustangs 14-5 to tie the game 35-35 at the end of three. The fourth quarter play was back-and-fourth, and Irrigon briefly took a lead. Heppner bounced back to tie the score at 42- 42. At that point, Irrigon decided to hold the ball for the last shot of the game. The Knights took that shot with five seconds left to play and they missed it. Patrick Collins grabbed the rebound and was fouled. He calmly stepped to the free throw line and made both shots to give Heppner the win 44-42. The Mustangs shot 52 percent overall from the ield and outrebounded the Knights 18-11. Collins led the team in scoring with 12. He also had 5 rebounds a blocked shot. Weston Putman followed with 10 points, 6 rebounds and 1 steal. CJ Kindle had 8 points and an assist. Lo- gan Grieb also scored 8 points in the game and had 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Caden Hedman scored 4 points for the Mustangs and had 2 assists. Kevin Murray contributed 2 points and a The Mustang wrestling team competed in two sepa- rate events in Boardman on Friday and Saturday.

In each of the duals, except against Riverside, Heppner won more matches and scored more team points than their opponent.

The blazing irst quar- ter ended with Heppner ahead by the score of 21-20. The Mustang defense stiff- ened and held the Tigers to only eight points in the second quarter.

Both teams shot the ball well in the third quarter and they each scored 19 points. That made the score after three quarters of play 60-47 in favor of the Mustangs.
