The Mustangs (9- 7,4-1) are currently sitting second in the Columbia Ba- sin Conference standings. A large and enthusiastic Heppner crowd, that looked as if it outnumbered the home team, were treated to a game that had an excit- ing finish and a victory for their team. The Mustangs struggled for most of the game and didn’t take the lead until there was just over two minutes left in the game. They then controlled the rest of the contest to secure the victory. A slow start by both teams saw the Tigers lead after the first quarter 10-6. The Heppner shooters still couldn’t get on track in the second quarter and the Mustangs trailed at halftime by the score of 23-15. Both teams scored 18 points in the third quarter and the Mustangs trailed 41-33 as the final quarter started.
