Mustangs fourth in GU Invitational
The Heppner Mustang
volleyball team opened its
season at the always-tough
Grant Union Invitational
this past weekend. New
Mustang head coach Mindy
Wilson left town with her
team at 4:30 a.m. for a long
day of volleyball in John
Day.
Heppner started the
tournament by going 4-0
in pool play and earning
one of the top seeds going
into bracket play. They de-
feated Jordan Valley 25-15,
Dayville-Monument 25-
22, Pilot Rock 25-20 and
Weston-McEwen 25-23 in
pool play.
It was then into bracket
play where the matches
were best two out of three.
Heppner started out by play-
ing the Crane Mustangs and
defeated them by the scores
of 25-19 and 25-22. Next up
were the Burns Highland-
ers, a perennial power at
the 3A level. An exciting
match that went three sets
saw the Highlanders defeat
the Mustangs by scores of
17-25, 25-14 and 15-13.
That placed the Mustangs in
the 3-4 place match against
the Pilot Rock Rockets.
This match was very close
and could have gone either
way. The Rockets defeated

It was certainly a great
day of volleyball and a
good way to kick off the
new season. Next up for
the team is a trip to Dufur
to play the Rangers and
the Vernonia Loggers. The
Mustangs will then host
their own tournament here
on Saturday, Sept. 2.
off the phrase “respect the
past, represent the future”
and will feature several
new logos, including an
image of a mustang wrap-
ping from side to side on
one of the helmets, and a
circle branding iron with
an “H” in the middle on
another. Images that rep-
resent the wheat fields that
dominate the region were
incorporated into the stripes
and shoulders, and a three-
leafed clover and the let-
ters “BB” which will be
placed on the back of the
helmet, honor Kilkenny
and Heppner’s deep Irish
heritage. The Mustangs
will have a multitude of
combinations to choose
from with four jersey and
pants colors (navy, gold,
white and gray), and four
different helmet designs.
The team will also sport the
latest cleated footwear and
gloves that create the image
of a Mustang when placed
together.
While clearly the color
designs will stand out, Nike
designers applied the same
principles to the Heppner
designs as when creating
NFL uniforms—which em-
phasized enhancing perfor-
mance.
“The Heppner football
uniform was a special proj-
ect for the Nike design team
to work on, meant to honor
Bob, his contributions to
the community and the
Kilkenny family,” said Nike
Creative Director Todd Van
Horne. “We look forward to
the Mustangs taking to the
field in Nike’s latest football
innovation, Vapor Untouch-
able uniform, and wish
them all the success during
the upcoming season.”
The Kilkenny fam-
ily, including Bob’s sons
Patrick, Russell, John and
Kevin, and daughter Kelly,
will be on hand for the
opening game against St.
Paul on Friday night. The
family invites all Heppner
supporters to join them at
Bucknum’s Tavern follow-
ing the game for a hosted
celebration.

The family of Bob Kilkenny
and Nike have teamed up to
outfit the Heppner Mustangs
in new, state-of-the-art uni-

football program, which he
viewed as representing the
culture of integrity, fam-
ily and hard work of the
tiny eastern Oregon farm-
ing community of 1927.
“Bob” Kilkenny could be
found at every home game
with the rest of the town’s
residents, and also routinely
loaded his family in the car
to drive the hundreds of
miles through the rolling
wheat fields of the scenic re-
gion for the Mustang’s road
games. Kilkenny was lov-
ingly known as “Bad Bob”
by his friends and family,
and Nike has incorporated
several symbolic features
in the designs to honor him
as well as the traditions
and history of the Heppner
football. The extensive ar-
ray of uniforms and apparel
are being privately funded
by the Kilkenny family, in
conjunction with Nike, who
offered its services in honor
of Bob and the Kilkenny
family.
“We couldn’t be more
honored to have the bril-
liant minds at Nike design
these uniforms for these
amazing, hard-working
kids on our football team
in honor of our father,”
said Kelly Kilkenny Hale,
Bob’s only daughter. “Dad
loved Heppner football—it
was about who we were as
individuals coming together
as one for our community.
It’s what we did growing
up—it represented how we
lived our lives—it is part of
who we are.”

uniform design was built
