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

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.
After a Mustang series
came to an end and Grant
Union got the ball back,
Heppner scored a defensive
touchdown when Jackson
Lehman stepped in front
of a Prospector pass and
took it back 42 yards for
the score. Kason Cimmy-
otti then passed the ball to
Brock Hisler for the 2 pt.
conversion to make the final
score of the game 47-14.
The Mustangs had 23
first downs in the game to
only 11 for Grant Union.
Heppner rushed for 373
yards and passed for 156 for
529 total yards in the game.
The Prospectors only had
163 total yards in the game.
Wilson was 10-17 pass-
ing the ball for 118 yards
and two touchdowns. Cim-
myotti went 2-6 for 38
yards and Casey Fletcher
was 0-1.
Mason Lehman caught
five passes for 75 yards
and one touchdown. Bur-

had a catch for 25 yards.

volleyball team qualified
for the OSAA 2A State Vol-
leyball playoffs by way of
their third-place finish at the
Blue Mountain Conference
district tournament this
past weekend. Information
regarding where and who
they will play will be re-
leased this week.
Before the district tour-
nament, the team needed to
complete conference play
by traveling to Stanfield to
play the Tigers. The Mus-
tangs had complete control
of the match and won it by
the scores of 25-12, 25-20,
25-16.
Heppner led from the
start and won the first set
easily with a score of 25-12.
The second set was a little
closer as there were five
ties and Heppner trailed the
Tigers several times. In the
end, Heppner took control
after a 15-15 tie and won
the set 25-20. The third and
final set saw the Mustangs
lead all the way to the fin-
ish. Heppner took off after
a 2-2 tie and stretched their
lead to 7-2, 13-5, 23-12 and
won the set and match by
the score of 25-16.
With the win over Stan-
field, the Mustangs finished
third in the BMC regular
season with a record of 8-4.
They would face the num-
ber two seed Weston-McE-
wen Tigerscots in their first
match at district.
The teams had split
their matches during regu-
lar season play, but on this
day the Tigerscots would
get the win by the scores
of 25-23, 25-17 and 25-21.
Heppner jumped out
to a quick 12-5 lead in
the first set only to see
Weston-McEwen slowly
battle back. The Mustangs
led all the way until the
score was tied at 22-22.
They ultimately lost the
exciting set by the score of
23-25.
The second set saw the
Mustangs unable to stay
with the Tigerscots from
the start. Weston-McEwen
gradually pulled away and
the Mustangs lost the set
17-25. The third and final

set was much closer and
Heppner led it early at 7-6.
From there the Tigerscots
stretched their lead to as
many as six only to see
the Mustangs battle back.
Heppner got to within two
points at 18-20 but couldn’t
get all the way back and lost
the set and match 21-25.
With that loss, the Mus-
tangs would next play the
Union Bobcats for third
place. The teams had split
their two conference match-
ups during the season with
both of them going a full
five sets. On this day the
Mustangs got the best of the
Bobcats and won the match
by the scores of 24-26, 25-
15, 27-25 and 25-11.
The first set saw seven
ties and several lead chang-
es in it. After an 8-8 tie, the
Mustangs took control and
led by as many as five when
the Bobcats battled back.
The score was tied at 22-22
and then the Bobcats took
the lead 23-22. The score
was tied at 23-23 and then
the Mustangs took the lead
24-23. After the score was
tied at 24-24, Union took
the next two points and won
the set 26-24.
After trailing early in
the third set the Mustangs
tied the score at 10-10.
Heppner then went on a
five point run to lead 15-10
and they never looked back
from there. They stretched
the lead to 18-12 and won
the set 25-15.
The third set was very
close with neither team
leading by more than three
points and there were nine
ties. After a 15-15 tie, the
Mustangs took the lead
and were ahead all the way
until Union tied it at 22-22.
Heppner jumped ahead
24-22 and only needed one
more point for the win.
Union battled back to tie
it at 24-24 and 25-25. The
Mustangs then took control
and scored the final two
points to win the set 27-25.
The fourth set was nev-
er in doubt as the Mustangs
came out and took control
early. They jumped out to
a 9-2 lead to force Union
to call a timeout. Heppner
kept the pressure on and
continued to stretch their
lead out. The Mustangs won
the set and the match by the
score of 25-11.
That win made the
Mustangs (16-12, 8-4) the
third seed out of the BMC
and they will receive an at-
large spot in the upcoming
state playoffs. The Grant
Union Prospectors won
the BMC championship by
defeating the Tigerscots in
the title match.

“The new playground
provides a wonderful op-
portunity for young people
to get outside and play,”
Hammond said. “It en-
hances the whole commu-
nity and was made possible
through a community ef-
fort. This project shows the
character of Boardman and
how our community family
comes together to support
our children,” he said.
