streak for Mustangs

The Heppner Mustang
football team lost its first
game in nearly two years
to the Cascade Kodiaks
14-6. The game was played
at the Kodiaks’ school just
outside of Leavenworth,
WA. The beautiful setting
for the game saw the field
surrounded by large trees
may have contributed to
some of the sluggish play
of the Heppner team, but
they still had many chances
to win the game.
It was a tale of two
halves as Cascade domi-
nated the first half of play
and the Mustangs the sec-
ond half. Cascade scored

and also next to a river. The
facility was also dwarfed by
majestic, jagged mountain
peaks for which the area is
famous.
A five-hour bus ride
early in the first quarter on a
23-yard run. The extra point
was good and the Kodiaks
led the game 7-0. Heppner
was able to move the ball in
the quarter but couldn’t put
it in the end zone.
Cascade scored again
early in the second quarter
on a 14-yard pass play.
Again the extra point was
good and they took a 14-0
lead. Heppner moved the
ball better in the quarter
but was unable to score and
trailed 14-0 at halftime.
The Mustangs ran the
ball well in the third quar-
ter as they had 18 running
plays that gained 109 yards.
Heppner finally got on the
board on a double reverse
play. Logan Grieb took the
handoff from quarterback
Kevin Smith and then gave
the ball to Jake Lindsay,
who scampered around the
right end to score a touch-
down from 23 yards out.
The two-point conversion
try was no good and that
made the score 14-6.
Heppner mounted sev-
eral good drives the rest of
the game but were unable
to hit pay dirt again. The
Mustang defense turned up
the heat and didn’t let the
Kodiaks get near the end
zone again. Both teams
traded possessions for the
rest of the game before it
ended with a Cascade vic-
tory by the score of 14-6.
For the game, Heppner
had 11 first downs to 10 for
Cascade. The Mustangs had
181 rushing yards to 155
for the Kodiaks. Heppner
gained 22 yards passing and
Cascade had 71. Total yards
for the game were Heppner
203 and Cascaded had 226.
Grieb led the team in
rushing with 82 yards on 13
carries. He had a long run of
17 yards. Coby Dougherty
had 19 carries and gained
50 yards with a long run
of 14 yards. Beau Wolters
packed the ball 5 times and
gained 31 yards with a long
run of 11 yards. Lindsay
had the 1 carry for 18 yards
and a touchdown.
Smith was 3-20 passing
in the game for 22 yards
and 1 interception. Lind-
say caught one ball for 9
yards, Kolby Currin had 1
catch for 7 yards and Grieb
hauled in 1 pass for 6 yards.
On the defensive side
of the ball, Kevin Murray
once again led the team in
tackles with 16. Lindsay
and Trevin Horne were
next with 8 tackles each.
Jason Rea had 7 tackles and
a fumble recovery in the
game. Beau Wolters had 6
tackles, a fumble recovery
and an interception which
he returned 9 yards. Grieb
and Dougherty each had 5
tackles in the game. Currin
and Tim Jaca each had 4
tackles and Wyatt Steagall
finished with 3. Dakota
and Derek Howard had 2
tackles each while Peyton
Lehman and Gavin Hanna-
Robinson both had 1. Gavin
also recovered a fumble in
the game.
