Mustangs win fourth straight game The Heppner Mustang football team won their fourth straight game to start the season by defeating the Colfax Bulldogs by the score of 27-0 last Friday night. The Mustangs are currently the third ranked team in the OSAA football poll and are one of only three teams in the state that remain undefeated at the 2A level. The stingy Heppner de- fense forced a quick three- and-out by the Bulldogs. The Mustang offense then went on a seven-play drive to get the first score of the game. It came as Jayden Wilson completed a pass to Jackson Lehman who ran it in for a 14-yard touchdown. Kannon Wilkins kicked the extra point to give the Mustangs a quick 7-0 lead. The teams traded pos- sessions four times before the Mustangs would score again. Wilson once again found Jackson Lehman open and hit him with a pass for a nine-yard touchdown. Blake Wolters carried the ball in for the 2-pt. conver- sion to give the Mustangs a 15-0 lead at halftime. Colfax kicked off to start the second half and the Mustangs only needed two plays to score again. Quarterback Jayden Wilson made several twists and turns through the Bulldog defense before he found some open space and out ran the Colfax team for a 60-yard touchdown. That made the score of the game 21-0 with just fifty seconds gone in the second half. Both teams had good drives in the third quarter. It wasn’t until there were only 22 seconds left in the quarter that the Mustangs scored again. Kason Cim- miyotti stepped in front of a Bulldog pass, intercepted it, and scampered 22 yards for a touchdown. That made the score 27-0 as the fourth quarter started.
