Win over Prospectors gives Mustangs
shot at BMC championship
The Heppner Mustang
football team won another
Blue Mountain Conference
(BMC) game by beating the
Grant Union Prospectors
(GU) by the score of 14-0.
The win sets up a game for
the BMC championship
against the Umatilla Vi-
kings this Friday night at
Les Payne Field.
The game with GU was
played in a cool and steady
rainfall that probably kept
the teams from showing
off their true talents on the
field. The teams traded pos-
sessions throughout the first
quarter and neither team
could score.
In the second quarter,
GU mounted a long drive
and looked as if they were
going to score. They drove
the ball to the Mustang
five-yard line before the
Heppner defense stiffened
and held the Prospectors
on downs at the 11. The
Mustangs took over and
went on a 12-play, 89-yard
drive that resulted in a score
when Ty Boor ran the ball
in from one yard out for a
touchdown. The two-point
conversion attempt was no
good, and the Mustangs
led 6-0.
On the next GU pos-
session, David Cribbs inter-
cepted a pass that ended the
first half with the Mustangs
leading 6-0.
The Heppner defense
held the Prospectors on
their first drive of the sec-
ond half and forced a punt
that was fielded by Cam-
eron Proudfoot. Just four
plays later the Mustangs
would score again when
Caden George took a hand-
off and blasted through
the line and sprinted 69
yards for a touchdown.
Boor scored the two-point
conversion to make the
score of the game 14-0.
The next GU posses-
sion ended when Cribbs
picked off another pass to
stop a Prospector drive. The
teams continued to trade
possessions for the rest of
the game and the Mustangs
came away with a 14-0 win.
Heppner amassed 242
total yards in the game and
limited GU to only 110. The
Mustangs had no passing
yards on the night and all
their yards came on the
ground.
George led the team in
rushing with 152 yards on
17 carries. Boor was next
with 40 yards on 12 carries
and Saul Lopez carried the
ball four times for 33 yards.
Hayden McMahon gained
15 yards on the night and
Proudfoot two.
The defense had a
bend-but-don’t-break at-
titude all night and did a
great job in not letting the
Prospectors score. The de-
fensive charge was led by
Jaime Cavan, who recorded
eight tackles in the game.
With seven tackles each
were Boor, Tucker Ashbeck
and Cade Cunningham.
George finished the game
with six tackles and Lopez
had five. Proudfoot had
four tackles on the night,
Jake Lentz three and with
two each were Cribbs and
Hayden McMahon.
Friday night will be
senior night, the night when
the senior players and their
parents will be honored for
all of their hard work during
their time in the Mustang
football program. Game
time with Umatilla will be
7 p.m.
