The team looked sharp and focused as they took it to the Boomers from the start of the game. Heppner kicked off and quickly forced a Toledo punt. It only took three plays for the Mustangs to score as Coby Dougherty ran it in from 6 yards out. Dougherty then ran in the two-point conversion to give the Mustangs a 8-0 lead. The next Mustang score came as Beau Wolters took the ball and blasted through a small hole in the line. He kept his legs moving and dragged several Boomer defenders into the end zone for a touchdown. Wolters then caught a pass from quarterback Jayden Wilson to score the two-point con- version to make it 16-0. Heppner would score one more time in the first q u a r t e r w h e n Wi l s o n dropped back and found Logan Burright open over the middle. Burright hauled the pass in and scored from 24 yards out. The Mus- tangs scored the two-point conversion when Wilson completed a pass to Peyton Lehman. That made the score at the end of the first quarter 24-0. The Mustangs would score two times in the sec- ond quarter. The first came as Gavin Hanna Robinson carried the ball in from 6 yards out. The two-point conversion try was success- ful as Wilson once again found Lehman open and hit him with a pass. The second score of the quarter would be another 6 yard run, this time by Dougherty. The conversion try failed and Heppner led at halftime by the score of 38-0. Toledo kicked off to start the second half. The Mustangs moved the ball on a nine play drive that ended in a touchdown when Wil- son carried the ball in from 1 yard out. Wilson then ran the ball in for the two-point conversion.

Mustang volleyball team plays well Nicole Propheter goes up for a kill during the varsity games against Pilot Rock on September 19. -Photo by Kirsti Cason The Heppner Mustang volleyball team split their first two conference match- es last week. Heppner fell to the Culver Bulldogs in three sets 25-13, 25-18, 25-12 but then defeated the Pilot Rock Rockets in three sets by the scores of 25-5, 25-21, 26-24. Against the always tough Bulldogs, Heppner played well and had many long rallies with the Bull- dogs but just came up short on the scoreboard. Culver's strong serving, floor cover- age and power were just too much for the Mustangs on this night. Coach Mindy Wilson stated “It was a good test for our first con- ference game and showed us what we need to work on for the future.” The Rockets then came to town and the Mustangs had something to prove. The team came out fast in the first set and stayed strong the rest of the way in the very exciting match. The Mustangs were even down by 6 points in the third set and came back to win it and the match. Nicole Propheter led the team in kills with 10. Morgan Correa and Jacee Currin were next with 8 kills each. Sophie Grant had 19 assists for the night and Currin 13. Sydney Wilson had 28 digs for the Mus- tangs. This week the Mus- tangs have two more con- ference matches. On Tues- day they travel to Athena to take on the Weston-McE- wen Tigersots and then on Thursday they will host the Stanfield Tigers.
