The Heppner Mustang
football team beat the Grant
Union Prospectors 41-18
to remain undefeated on
the season. The Mustangs
are 8-0 and currently the
second ranked team in the
latest OSAA 2A Football
Rankings.
It’s always tough to
play in John Day, but this
year the Mustangs started
the scoring off quickly and
never looked back. The
Mustangs kicked off and,
after forcing the Prospec-
tors to turn the ball over
on downs, they scored just
two plays later when Jayden
Wilson passed the ball to
Kannon Wilkins 19 yards
for the score. The touch-
down made the score 6-0
just two minutes into the
game.
It didn’t take long for
the Mustangs to get the
ball back again. Mason
Lehman tackled a Grant
Union player and forced
a fumble that Jace Coe
recovered. Just four plays
later the Mustangs scored
when Wilson ran the ball
in from one yard out for
the touchdown. Wilson then
threw to Jackson Lehman
for the 2-pt. conversion to
make the score 14-0.
On the ensuing Hep-
pner kickoff, the Prospec-
tors ran it all the way back
for the score to make it
14-6.
After Grant Union
kicked off, the Mustangs
went on a 10-play drive that
resulted in a score when
Wilson threw a 10-yard
touchdown pass to Wilkins.
That gave Heppner a 20-6
lead with three minutes left
in the first quarter.

The stingy Mustang de-
fense forced another Grant
Union punt and then only
needed three plays to score
again. After a 49-yard pass
play to Jackson Lehman,
Wilson ran the ball in from
three yards out for the score.
Wilson then completed a
pass to Jackson Lehman
for the 2-pt. conversion to
make the score 28-6 as the
second quarter started.
Early in the quarter,
Jason Rea tackled a Pros-
pector player so hard that he
fumbled the ball. Rea then
recovered the ball to give
the Mustangs great field
position. They couldn’t do
anything with it and the
teams traded possessions
several times after that.
It wasn’t until Grant
Union fumbled the ball
again deep in their own
territory and Gavin Han-
na-Robinson recovered it
to give the Mustangs the
ball back. On the very next
play, Wilson threw to Ma-
son Lehman for an 11-yard
touchdown. That made the
score of the game 34-6 at
halftime.
Grant Union kicked
off to start the second half
and it only took two plays
for the Mustangs to score
again. Wilson completed a
pass to Mason Lehman who
then took it 54 yards for the
touchdown. Wilkins kicked
the extra point to make the
score 41-6 only 50 seconds
into the half.
Once again, the Pros-
pectors took the kickoff
back for the touchdown to
make it 41-12.
The teams spent the
rest of the third quarter and
most of the fourth trading
possessions until Grant
Union scored again late in
the game. That made the fi-
nal score of the game 41-18.
Heppner had 135
yards rushing the ball and
200 yards passing for 335
yards of total offense. Grant
Union finished with 213.
Wilson was 12-19 pass-
ing the ball for 200 yards
and three touchdowns. Ma-
son Lehman caught seven
of those passes for 107
yards and one touchdown.
Wilkins had two catches for
29 yards and two scores on
the night. Jackson Lehman
had a catch for 49 yards and
with one catch each were
Brock Hisler for 12 yards
and Blake Wolters for three.
Mason Lehman led the
team in rushing with 59
yards on four carries and a
touchdown. Wilson rushed
for 40 yards and scored
two2 touchdowns while
Wolters packed the ball 12
times for 22 yards. Hisler
had three carries for 14
yards in the game.
The defense was led
by Hanna-Robinson with
11 tackles on the night.
Jason Rea was next with
10 and with seven each
were Mason Lehman and
Roy Collins. With five5
tackles each in the game
were Wolters, Wilson and
Jackson Lehman. Finish-
ing with three tackles each
were Matt Orem and Kevin
Rea. With two tackles each
were Kellen Grant, Conor
Brosnan and Hisler. Coe
and Kason Cimmiyotti both
had one tackle in the game
for the Mustangs.
Heppner will finish up
the regular season at home
with a game this Friday
night against the Stanfield
Tigers at Les Payne Field.
It is senior night so the ten
senior players and their
parents will be recognized
before the game.
