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.

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.
