MUSTANGS
-Continued from PAGE ONE
the Mustangs the lead 55-
18. 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.

team with 10 tackles in the

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.
