The Heppner Mustang football team traveled to Redmond last Saturday to meet up with and play the Toledo Boomers. A crowd of nearly 100 Mustang friends, fans and family were in the huge stands to witness the 46-6 win by the Mustangs. Conor Brosnan kicked off to start the game and the teams traded possessions several times as both teams were trying to recover from the long bus ride to Red- mond. Heppner had the ball near the end of the first quarter and got their first score when Quarterback Jayden Wilson ran the ball into the end zone from eight yards out for a touchdown. The first quarter ended with the Mustangs ahead 6-0. Toledo scored on their first possession of the sec- ond quarter to tie the score 6-6. After a Heppner pass tipped off of a Mustang receiver’s hands and was intercepted by the Boom- ers, the Heppner defense held and got the ball right back for the offense. Just four plays later the Mus- tangs scored again as Brock Hisler took a handoff and sprinted 52 yards for a touchdown. That made the score of the game 12-6 with six minutes left in the half. On the next Toledo pos- session, Brosnan stepped in front of a Boomer pass attempt and intercepted the ball. He then took off and outran the entire Toledo offense in route to a 70- yard touchdown. Wilson completed a pass to Derrick Smith for the 2-pt. conver- sion to make the score 20-6 at halftime. Toledo kicked off to start the second half and Jackson Lehman returned the ball 39 yards before being pushed out of bounds at the Boomer 31-yard line. On the very first play from scrimmage, Wilson took off running with the ball and scored a touchdown. Heppner now led 26-6 only 17 seconds into the second half. Just one minute later the Mustangs scored again when Jake Lentz forced a Toledo fumble and Wilson scooped the ball up at the 27-yard line and ran it into the end zone for a touch- down. The score was now 32-6. The next Toledo drive went backwards on all three plays before they punted. Mikel Jaca and Lehman tackled the Boomer running back for a 4-yard loss on the first play. Roy Collins got a tackle for a 1-yard loss and then Tucker Ashbeck sacked the Toledo quarter- back for a 5-yard loss. The Boomers then punted the ball to Jace Coe who ram- bled 24 yards with it to give the Mustangs great field po- sition. On the very next play Wilson carried the ball into the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown run. Brosnan kicked the extra-point to give Heppner a 39-6 lead with over eight minutes left in the third quarter. The next time Hep- pner got the ball, Wilson dropped back and found Kason Cimmiyotti open downfield and hit him with a perfectly thrown pass for a 49-yard touchdown. Brosnan once again made the extra-point kick to make the score 46-6 with over five minutes to play in the third quarter. The game continued with a running clock and the Heppner coaching staff started to substitute multiple players into the game. The teams traded possessions several more times and the game ended fittingly as Wilson and Collins sacked the Toledo quarterback. The final score of the game was 46-6. The Mustangs finished the game with 219 total yards and Toledo had 153. Wilson was 4-8 passing the ball for 83 yards and a touchdown. Coe caught two passes for 34 yards and Cimmiyotti had the one reception for 49 yards and a score. Lehman had a recep- tion that gained no yards. Leading the team in Fact Sheet Residential Burn Barrels: A Source of Toxic Pollution How does burning household waste produce toxic air pollution? Burn barrels are inefficient and polluting; they produce low temperature fires that receive very little oxygen. They also produce a lot of smoke (finely divided particulate matter) and many toxic substances. Virtually all of the pollutants are released into the air close to ground level, where they are easily inhaled. cans, aluminum, newspaper, cardboard, office paper, glass, plastic containers and used oil. Garbage pickup service – Check with your local municipality. Self- haul – For do-it-yourself types, it is cheaper to haul trash to a permitted landfill or transfer site. What materials can be burned? Untreated wood, paper and natural vegetative materials can be safely burned. Burning in burn barrels is considered “open burning” The majority of pollutants emitted from burning household wastes in a burn barrel (or other types of open burning) are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, very small breathable particles and nitrogen oxides. However, smaller amounts of more poisonous chemicals are also released into the air when household waste is burned. These include benzene, styrene, formaldehyde, dioxins and furans. These toxic chemicals are carried deep into the lungs, attached to fine particles. There, they embed into lung tissue and enter the bloodstream. Many cities have banned burn barrels, or open burning altogether, including Brookings, Bandon, Florence, Medford, Jacksonville, Talent, and Salem/Keizer. 877-557-1912 FREE Off er valid February 15 - June 6, 2021 Special Financing Available Subject to Credit Approval *To qualify, consumers must request a quote, purchase, install and activate the generator with a participating dealer.
