FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, September 21, 2022 Mustangs back on winning track with 46-8 victory The Heppner Mustang football team got back on the winning side of things with a 46-8 victory over the Irrigon Knights. The contest was the first Blue Mountain Conference game of the year for both teams. The first quarter of the game started out slowly for both teams and it was nearly over before the Mus- tangs scored the games first points. A 5 yard touchdown run by quarterback Landon Mitchell got the scoring started. A pass from Mitch- ell to Cameron Proudfoot for the 2 pt. conversion made the score 8-0 at the end of the first quarter. The Mustangs scored again early in the second quarter as Mitchell handed the ball off to Saul Lopez who then sprinted down the field for 63 yards and a touchdown. Caden George ran the ball in for the two point conversion to make the score 16-0. Later in the sec- ond quarter the Mustangs forced an Irrigon fumble near midfield that was re- covered by Lopez. After a 14 yard run by Caden George, Mitchell then com- pleted a pass to George who ran the ball in for a 36 yard touchdown. Mitchell threw a pass to Jake Lentz for the 2 pt. conversion to make the score 24-0 with five minutes left in the first half. On the next Irrigon possession, they fumbled and the ball was recovered by Ty Boor. The Mustangs got close to scoring again but time ran out in the first half with Heppner leading 24-0. Irrigon kicked off to start the second half and just two plays after that, Hayden McMahon took the ball around right end for 65 yards before being stopped at the one yard line. On the very next play George blasted through the line for the touchdown. Mitchell ran the ball in for the 2 pt. conversion to make the score 32-0. The Heppner defense then stopped the Knights and forced them to punt the ball away. Just two plays later the Mustangs scored when Mitchell threw a 42 yard pass completion to Proudfoot for a touch- down. Mitchell then ran the ball in for the 2 pt. conver- sion to make the score 40-0 midway through the third quarter. The game would go to a running clock at this point and the Mustangs substituted many of the younger players into the game. Irrigon scored on a long run to make the score 40-8. On the next Hep- pne r posse ssion, ne w quarterback Jackson Coin- er handed the ball off to Hayden McMahon who sprinted 55 yards for a Mustang touchdown.
