The eighth annual Hep- pner Mustang Alumni Bas- ketball tournament was held in front of a large crowd of over 100 fans, family and friends. The annual fund- raiser for the Heppner boys’ basketball program saw a record turnout of players and fans attend the game. The game is open to former Mustangs and family mem- bers. Both the men’s and women’s games were close throughout and extremely entertaining to watch. In the women’s game, the more experienced team, made up of players from 1991-2005 won by the score of 47-37. It was a fast paced and sometimes very physical game that was closer than the final score indicates. The intensity level certainly ramped up as the game neared the end and the ladies were playing their hearts out. Everyone enjoyed seeing so many of the former Fillies and Mustangs play their hardest and have lots of fun doing it. Susan Hisler coached the winning team to their victory. The men’s game was a three point shooting contest at the start and then turned into a physical battle that saw the “oldies” beat the “young guns” by the score of 67-62.
