Heppner’s Cade Cunning- ham recovered a Dragon fumble near midfield and it only took three plays for the Mustangs to score. A run by Saul Lopez of 23 yards and carries by Caden George of four yards and then 13 led to a six-yard run by George for the first Heppner touch- down of the game. George then ran the ball in for the two-point conversion to make the score 8-0. The teams traded possessions for the rest of the first quarter and then the Mustang defense forced a Monroe punt that rolled into the endzone for a touchback. Starting at their own 20-yard line, the Mustangs would score just three plays later. George ran for 20 yards, then four, and then busted through the defense and rumbled 56 yards for a touchdown. The conversion try was no good and the score was now 14-0. The next time Monroe had the ball, Cunningham knocked the ball loose from the runner and Ty Boor re- covered the fumble at the Dragon 29-yard line. This time it only took four plays for the Mustangs to score. Hayden McMahon ran the ball in from six yards out for the touchdown. That made the score of the game 20-0 half way through the second quarter. Monroe had a long drive late in the quarter that the Heppner defense finally stopped on downs as time in the first half ran out with the score 20-0. Heppner got the ball to start the second half and was forced to punt. The Dragons started a drive that ended when they fumbled the ball, and Tucker Ash- beck recovered it to give the Mustangs possession. Starting a drive at their own 23-yard line, the Mustangs gains on runs. Cameron Proudfoot then busted loose and ran for 52 yards to get the ball to the eight-yard line. On the eighth play of the drive, Heppner scored when Boor punched it in from two yards out. The score was now 26-0 as the fourth quarter started. On Monroe’s first possession of the fourth quarter, Landon Mitchell jumped high and snagged a pass with one hand for an interception. The Heppner coaches put many of the younger Mustang players in at this point to give them some valuable playoff game experience. The teams trad- ed several possessions for the rest of the quarter until the final horn sounded, giving the Mustangs a 26-0 victory. The Mustangs had 332 total yards for the game and Monroe only 128.

HHS students attend leadership conference Third place, Michael and Chelsea McCabe The judges for the Hopeful Saints Ministry Halloween decorating con- test had some difficult de- cisions to make as they cruised around Heppner Oct. 27. Despite that, they managed to choose three top winners. First place goes to Judy Hanbury for her display of the family plot, pumpkin patch and skeletal dinner party. Second place goes to William and Neva Mahon for their festive lights and the skeleton farm crew. Third place goes to Michael and Chelsea Mc- Cabe for their spooky entry- way—and did you see how big that spider was? Photos of these and other decorations that did not get entered into the con- test can be seen on the All Saints Episcopal and Hope Lutheran Church Facebook page. The community trunk- or-treat put on by the min- istry was very well attend- ed. This was the Hopeful Saints’ fourth year of ex- tending their Halloween party outside to include trunk-or-treat, and they report it was by far the best ever. They had eight spaces with themes like farm cir- cus, monsters truck, FFA mystery trailer, Hallow- een spirit, Morrow Coun- ty Sheriff and Telly, too. They say they are already planning improvements for next year and will be better prepared with “more treats, a few tricks and added spaces for more trunks full of treats.” Open Discussion Regarding Recall We are holding this gathering to hear Melissa Lindsay and Jim Doherty’s side.
