Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, February 8, 2023 -- SEVEN Lady Mustangs look Mustangs boys scorch Finch makes her to redeem themselves opponents mark in Vanguard over TigerScots Friday track Katie Spivey takes a shot in the game against Irrigon. -Photo by Tylynn Cimmiyotti Last week ended with another round of tough losses for the Heppner Mus- tangs girls basketball as the team dropped three places to land as the 25 th -ranked team for OSAA. They’ve got one more game this week before Dis- tricts, in a lineup against the Weston-McEwen Ti- gerScots on Friday, Feb. 10, which also happens to be their senior night. It will also be an opportu- nity for some payback, as Weston-McEwen is a team that the Lady Mustangs fell to by only one point in the last minutes of the game when they played the TigerScots previously. This Friday’s game will certainly be one to watch as the Mustangs continue to play some strong ball and will be looking to redeem themselves. On Friday, Feb. 3, the Mustangs played the En- terprise Outlaws on their own home court. Heppner scored the first game points when Hailey Wenberg put her free throws in after be- ing fouled on the shot. En- terprise quickly answered back with four points of their own. At 5:46, the score was 2-6, Enterprise. The Mustangs continued to fight and came close to overtaking the Outlaws but ended the first quarter close behind, 9-11. In the second quarter, the girls from both sides came out playing hard and fast. At 6:06 in the second, the score was 11-15; min- utes later, the Mustangs scored again. The Outlaws never let the Mustangs catch up; even as they add- ed more points to the board, so did their opponent. The score was 19-22 with 1:21 left in the first half. Had- lie Nation was at the line shooting with 19 seconds on the clock. Unfortunately, neither fell, and Enterprise got the rebound and hustled down the court to score on the buzzer. The first half ended with the Mustangs only behind by five points, 19-24. In the second half, Hep- pner worked to catch up and came within three points of the Outlaws. The Outlaws again closed out a quarter, adding some points on the buzzer at the end of the third. Heppner kept posses- sion of the ball more during the second half but strug- gled to add points to the board. The Outlaws added to their lead; the final score was 30-39, Enterprise.
