Mustang football continues winning The Heppner Mustang football team continued their winning ways by de- feating the Grant Union Prospectors by the score of 47-14 last Friday night. Heppner scored on six of their nine possessions in the game and the outcome was never in doubt The Mustangs (6-2, 3-0) have one more Blue Mountain Conference game left on their schedule as they will travel to Stanfield this Fri- day night to take on the Tigers. Heppner kicked off to start the game and the de- fense got the ball right back for the offense. It took only four plays for the Mustangs to score as Gavin Han- na-Robinson took a handoff and ran the ball in from six yards out for the team’s first touchdown. That made the score 6-0 only four minutes into the game. When the Mustangs got the ball back, they went on a 14 play, 93 yard drive, that ended in a score when Han- na-Robinson pounded the ball in from three yards out for the touchdown. Heppner scored the 2-pt. conversion when Jayden Wilson passed the ball to Hanna-Robinson to make the score 14-0 at the end of the first quarter. The teams traded pos- sessions early in the sec- ond quarter and then the Mustangs took back the ball with a little over five minutes to go in the half. A 13 play, 79 yard drive, led to another touchdown when Wilson passed the ball to Hanna-Robinson for a 15 yard touchdown with just under a minute to go in the half. That gave the Mustangs a 20-0 lead at halftime. Heppner got the ball to open the second half and only needed three plays and one minute to score another Gavin Hanna-Robinson makes a run for it, staying ahead of the opponent. -Contributed photo touchdown. Mason Lehman took a handoff from Wilson and got some great block- ing and outraced the entire Prospector defense on a 56 yard scoring play. Conor Brosnan kicked the extra point to give the Mustangs a 27-0 lead. Grant Union then went on an eleven play drive, but then the Mustang defense stiffened and got the ball back for the offense. A six play drive that was high- lighted by runs of 21 yards by Wilson and 26 yards by Blake Wolters, ended when Wilson hit Mason Lehman with a 30 yard touchdown pass. That gave the Mus- tangs a 33-0 lead at this point. Another Grant Union punt saw the Mustangs get the ball near midfield. Wolt- ers ran the ball for 38 yards and then Wilson passed the ball to Logan Burright for a gain of 13 more. Burright then ran the ball in from four yards out for another Mustang touchdown just five seconds into the fourth quarter. That made the score of the game 39-0. The Heppner coaches substituted freely at this point in the game and Grant Union scored their only points the next two times they touched the ball. That made the score 39-14 with only a little over two min- utes to play in the game.
