On the next Knappa possession, they fumbled the ball and Orem jumped on it at the Logger 8-yard line. Wilson took a knee several times to run the clock down and end the game. Heppner got the win by the final score of 55-18. Both teams had 19 first downs in the game. Hep- pner had 325 rushing yards and the stingy Mustang de- fense held Knappa to only 40. The Mustangs had 130 passing yards and Knappa, 312. The Mustangs had 455 total yards in the game compared to 352 for the Loggers. Wilson was a very effi- cient 5-9 passing the ball for 130 yards a one touchdown. Coe caught three passes for 84 yards and Mason Leh- man had two catches for 46 yards and a touchdown. Wolters had a monster day running the ball. The powerful and deceptively fast junior running back rushed for 234 yards on 29 carries and scored five touchdowns. The work- horse effort resulted in Wolters being named the OSAA Player of the Game. Mason Lehman carried the ball four times for 50 yards and Wilson packed it seven times for 31. Jackson Lehman finished with 16 yards rushing. The Mustang offensive line dominated the line of scrimmage all game long and helped the backs achieve such out- standing rushing totals. The Heppner defense has received a lot of recog- nition for their outstanding play all season long and they continued that great play on this day. They held the high-powered Logger offense down for most of the game and you could tell that it frustrated the Knappa team. Brock Hisler led the team with 10 tackles in the game. Gavin Hanna-Robin- son recorded nine and Wil- Kason Cimmiyotti reaches for the football. -Photo by Kirsti Cason. son finished with seven and an interception. Jackson Lehman had six tackles and an interception while Orem tallied six tackles and had a big fumble recovery. With five tackles each were Jason Rea and Coe. Rea also had a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Mason Lehman had four tackles while with three each were Roy Collins and Kason Cimmiyotti. With one tackle each in the game were Wolters and Conor Brosnan. The Mustangs will play for the State Championship this Saturday at Hermiston High School and game time is set for 2:30 p.m. Their opponent will be the Kennedy Trojans. The Trojans were the first-place team from Special District 2 and finished the regular season with a 8-1 record. They were the number one ranked team in the final OSAA football rankings and the number one seed in the playoffs. MCSD shares inclement weather plan The Morrow County School District has an- nounced their inclement weather plan for this year. District administration closely monitors weather and road conditions and strives to inform families of changes in a timely manner, typically notifying the night before. At times weather changes overnight require an early morning change in school plans. The school district will continue a three-hour delay for bad weather this year. The later start on inclement weather days allows more time to evaluate the weather and road conditions before students and staff are trav- eling to school. On the three-hour delay days, buses will run their normal routes, just three hours later. On late start days, schools will still have breakfast and lunch avail- able to students. Additional ways to stay are school messenger, dis- and Facebook pages and lo- informed of school closures trict and school websites cal news and radio stations. For additional informa- tion contact Lisa Patton at 541-676-5024. The Neigh- borhood Center will close at The Neighborhood Center’s 2 p.m. on Wednesday, No- giving tree is displayed at vember 27 and closed for Heppner Market Fresh. Thanksgiving on Thursday.
