Mustangs take win in final
minutes of game
The Heppner Mustang
boys’ basketball team won
their only game of the week
as they defeated the Stan-
field Tigers by the score of
48-43. 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.
Using different com-
binations of players off the
Heppner bench, the Mus-
tangs slowly took control of

effort held the Tigers to
only 2 points in the en-
tire quarter. The Mustangs

points themselves to get the
win 48-43.
Trent Smith led the
Mustangs with 17 points
and three assists. Kevin
Smith finished with 11
points, seven rebounds and
four blocked shots. Wy-
att Steagall, Alex Lind-
say and Tyler Carter each
scored five points in the
game. Steagall also had
eight rebounds, one assist
and one block. Lindsay
also recorded two rebounds
and two steals and Carter
chipped in three rebounds
and a steal. Gibson Mc-
Curry scored three points
and had a block while Der-
ek Howard had two points
and three rebounds for the
Mustangs. Hunter Nichols
ripped down 11 rebounds
for the team and also dished
out six assists. Beau Wolt-
ers and Coby Dougherty
did not score in the game
but they both recorded a
rebound.
This Friday, Feb. 2, the
Mustangs travel to Athena
to play the Weston-McE-
wen Tigerscots. They then

On Saturday, Jan. 27,
the Lady Mustangs traveled
to Stanfield and won by a
score of 55-33. Leading
scorers for the team were
Sydney Wilson with 15
points followed by Jacee
Currin with 14 points and
Madison Combe with seven
points. Madelyn Nichols
once again provided a spark
off the bench with some
solid defense and chipped
in five points. It was a total
team effort with everyone
on the team playing and
contributing to the victory.
The road win improved
the Lady Mustangs CBC
league record to 4-1 and
they are now 12-4 overall.
