Mustang football season ends Derek Howard (70) and Jackson Lehman (15) block the opponents while Mason Lehman (center) runs the ball. -Photo by Damon Brosnan. The Heppner Mustang football season came to an end with a 34-0 loss to the Kennedy Trojans in a first round game of the OSAA 2A State Football Champi- onship played at Les Payne Field on Friday night. The Mustangs end their season with an overall record of 7-3. They had a perfect 4-0 record in conference and were the Blue Mountain Conference champions this year. Heppner could not get much going against the Trojans from the start of the game on. The Mustangs then lost starting quarter- back Jayden Wilson to inju- ry in the second quarter and had to play the rest of the game with backups in that position. The Trojans have an outstanding running back that pounded the ball through the Mustang de- fense for many yards. The Kennedy defense would not let the Mustangs quick strike offense get moving like it had for most of the season. Heppner played hard the entire game but came up short in this one and saw their season come to an end against the Tro- jans. Kason Cimmyotti was 2-5 passing the ball for eight yards and Jackson Lehman completed one pass for 20 yards to Evan Kollman. Mason Lehman had one reception for eight yards and Gavin Hanna-Robinson had a catch for no gain in the game. Blake Wolters led the team in rushing with 47 yards on 12 carries. Mason Lehman packed the ball seven times for 29 yards and Hanna-Robinson ran for 21 yards on five carries. Jackson Lehman carried the ball one time for three yards. Jason Rea led the team in tackles with 10. Wil- son was next with nine and Kevin Rea had seven tackles. Wolters and Han- na-Robinson finished with six tackles each and with five each were Tyler Carter and Jackson Lehman. Roy Collins had four tackles in the game and with three tackles each were Logan Burright, Keegan Gibbs, Hayden Hyatt and Koll- man. Finishing the game with two tackles each were Mason Lehman and Conor Brosnan. The Mustangs lose sev- en seniors from this year’s team. They are Derek How- ard, Charles Cason, Reno By Doris Brosnan Last Wednesday, the majority of the residents of Willow Creek Terrace donned their pumpkin shirts, planted themselves in the reception area and greeted the largest number of trick-or-treaters ever. Over thirty young revelers entertained with their imag- inative costumes. The fact that so many represented movie and video characters reminded their hosts that the view of Halloween cos- tuming has changed greatly over the years. October ended with a celebration, and so will this month, for Flossie Watkins will celebrate her birthday on the 30 th with one of her favorite meals shared with neighbors and family. In the meantime, No- vember will feature several other days of interest and activities. Last weekend, with the time change came the routine checking of all bat- tery-operated items while staff turned the clocks back an hour. Yesterday, election day, did not create any stress on the Hill because every voter had already received a ballot, made some tough decisions, and turned the ballot in. On every Tuesday, the Terrace Book Club continues to be an entertaining time filled great discussions and often- times, laughter. Yesterday’s discussion was about the Frances Browne short story “Christmas Cuckoo.” To d a y i s n a t i o n a l Tongue-Twister Day, so the morning discussion included attempts at say- ing phrases such as tacky tractor trailer trucks. Repeat that three times, readers. And tomorrow will bring thoughts back to a more se- rious event: Some residents will attend the Heppner High School Veterans pro- gram that pays homage to our local military veterans. Three Terrace residents are veterans. On Sunday, the stu- dents of the St. Patrick Catholic Church’s religious education classes plan to visit the Terrace and will entertain with some musical selections, as well as deliver a monetary donation to the facility. The young people have used some class time to make rosaries that they have now sold as a fundrais- er for their donation. World Kindness Day is celebrated on the 13 th , so morning discussion will in- clude sharing memories of special kindnesses the par- ticipants have received and have extended to others. This mindfulness of others and possible needs will car- ry into the weekend, when, on Saturday, the commu- nity will deliver loaves of homemade breads to their neighborhood. Each loaf of bread will be wrapped, tied with a bow and be de- livered to a neighbor, with an inspirational kind note. This will be the second year for participation in the “Tie One On” project that emphasizes the importance of putting give back into Thanksgiving. A partial preparation for this November and De- cember holiday season will be the pedicure party on the 16 th . Being pampered with a pedicure can provide a plethora of pleasurable sensations. Administra- tor George Nairns invites individuals interested in helping with the party to call 541-676-0004. The week of Thanks- giving is also recognized a s F a m i l y We e k a n d Game-Puzzle Week. At the Terrace, a different game will be offered each day. Before Thanksgiving Day, residents will be sharing memories of some out- standing Thanksgivings and they will be invited to contribute to the “Thankful List” that will be posted in the dining room. One won- derfully, overwhelmingly thoughtful gift that will be on that list, says Nairns, is the 700+ pounds of meats, beef, pork and lamb, recent- ly gifted to Willow Creek Terrace by a kind donor. On Thanksgiving Day, a traditional meal will be shared by staff, residents and family members who have reserved a place at the table. Although four apart- ments are available (call for information), the Terrace community did welcome two familiar faces to the table and an apartment last month, when Ernie and Mary Jean McCabe moved in. Unfortunately, Meg Murray said goodbye as she moved from this hill, where she had been a resident for over seven years, across to another hill above Heppner. She is happy to have visitors at her new abode at the Pioneer Memorial facility. Thanksgiving draws November closer to an end and to Flossie Watkins’s birthday. It also begins the holiday season, always viewed by most Willow Creek Terrace residents and staff as a heart-warming time of the year. Ferguson, Logan Burright, Tyler Carter, Zavier Glov- er and Keegan Gibbs. As Mustang players they have an overall record of 34-10 and they were 19-5 in home games played at Les Payne Field. They participated in the state playoffs each year of their high school careers. They managed a first round game this year, a quarterfi- nal game last year, a state semifinal game their soph- omore year and they were part of the state champion- ship team their freshman year. During their careers the Mustangs won three conference championships. It is quite an impressive record for an outstanding group of football players who are also an outstanding group of young men. They will be missed by the Mus- tang football program. They have provided leadership to the team this year and con- tinued the great “Mustang Tradition that Never Grad- uates.” That tradition will carry on as the Mustangs will return 29 players from this year’s team with many of them seeing significant varsity playing time this year. The future of Heppner football continues to look Heppner/Ione Cross Country team members pictured with their third place plaque are (L-R): Leo Waite, Hayden Qualls, Hunter Nichols, Trevor Antonucci, Colt Parker, Christian Dubry bright.
