Saul Lopez
added. “It was an experi-
ence for sure.”
Cavan-Harris, wres-
tling at 195 pounds, started
the tournament by winning
by fall over Mathew Chap-
man of Kennedy in the
first round. He then won
by fall over Lee Brainard
of Oakridge in the quar-
terfinal. He fell to Ash
Blomstrom of Toledo in
the semifinal match but
rallied to win by fall over
Clancy Rutledge of Culver
in the consolation semifi-
nal match. His tournament
run ended when he lost by
decision (9-5) to Malachi
Hansen of Central Linn in
the third-place match.
Zach Brown, wrestling
at 138 pounds, won round
one by medical forfeit and
advanced to the quarter-
final, where he won by
decision (8-4) over Draven
March of Nestucca. Brown
then lost by decision (6-3)
in the semifinal and suf-
fered another loss by deci-
sion (5-3) in the consolation
round.
Saul Lopez wrestled at
138 pounds. He received
a bye in his first round but
then lost by tech fall to
Nic Kaufman of Toledo.
He received another bye in
consolation round two. He
then lost consolation round
three by major decision
(15-4) to Aaron Martin of
Glendale.
Cade Cunningham,
wrestling at 220 pounds,
received a bye in his first
round. He then lost by fall
to Logan Clayburn of Myr-
tle Point in the quarterfinal
match. Cunningham won
his next two matches, by
fall over Howard Lewelling
of Glendale in consolation
round two and by decision
over Rylan Cox of Grant
Union/Prairie City in con-
solation round three. He
finished his run in the state
tournament by losing by
fall to Gunnar McDowell
of Enterprise/Wallowa in
the consolation semifinal.
The Gazette-Times pre-
viously reported in error
that Lady Mustang Journey
Cavan-Harris qualified for
the women’s state tourna-
ment. Cavan-Harris was
indeed the first Heppner
female wrestler to place at
the district level, placing
fourth. However, she did
not qualify for state, as
only the top three wrestlers
advanced. The editor apol-
ogizes for the error.
Ione players receive
all-league honors
Several Ione/Arlington
players were selected for
Big Sky all-league teams
at the recent district cham-
pionships.
Named to first team for
the boys was senior Marcus
Radcliffe.
Selected for second
team was senior Bryce
Rollins.
Receiving an honorable
mention was senior Carson
Eynetich.
On the girls’ side,
Delani Stefani was named
to first team, while Najiah
Knight and Vicky DeLa-
Torre both received honor-
able mentions.
Mustangs advance to final
eight in state championships
The Heppner Mus-
tang boys basketball team
punched their ticket to the
OSAA 2A State Basketball
Championships by defeat-
ing the Oakland Oakers
52-43. The Mustangs (20-5)
will play in the first game of
the tournament at the Pend-
leton Convention Center on
Thursday, March 2, at 1:30
p.m. against the Manna-
house Academy Lions. The
Lions (25-2) finished first in
the Northwest League and
beat Bandon in a playoff
game to advance to Pend-
leton.
The Mustangs traveled
to Oakland to play the Oak-
ers in a small gym common-
ly referred to as the “Nut
House” for how loud and
crazy it can get. The first-
round playoff game was
played in front of a packed
house of Oaker fans who
loudly supported their team.
Quite a large group of Hep-
pner parents and fans made
the long trip to Oakland to
support the Mustangs. Their
cheering certainly helped
the Mustang team through-
out the game.
The long trip didn’t
appear to slow the Mustang
team down as they jumped
out to a quick 6-1 in the first
two minutes of the game.
Heppner kept the pressure
on and led 14-8 at the end of
the first quarter. The Mus-
tangs continued to score
early in the second quarter
and extended their lead to
22-14 with two minutes left
in the first half. Oakland
went on a small run and
then scored a basket at the
buzzer to cut the Mustang
lead to 24-22 at halftime.
Heppner kept rolling
throughout the third quarter
and pushed their lead to
32-25 with three minutes
to play in the quarter. The
Mustang defensive pressure
continued to slow Oakland
down and with only 20 sec-
onds left in the third quarter
the Mustangs had their
largest lead of the game at
40-29. The Oakers scored
near the end of the quarter
to cut the Mustang lead to
40-31 as the fourth quarter
started.
Oakland made a run at
the Mustangs and pulled to
within four points at 42-38
with four minutes left in the
game. Heppner held strong
and extended their lead to
48-40 with two minutes to
play. Oakland was forced to
foul the Mustangs and send
them to the free throw line.
The Mustangs made several
key free throws down the
stretch to keep the Oakers
from getting any closer.
Heppner won the game by
the score of 52-43.

the team with 15 points.
David Cribbs was next
with 12 points and eight
rebounds. Tucker Ashbeck
contributed eight points and
controlled the paint area
before fouling out late in the
game. Caden George had
six points in the game and
was tasked with defending
the best Oakland player
all game long. He did a
tremendous job of holding
that player to well below his
season average in points.
Landon Mitchell had five
points and nine rebounds
for the Mustangs as he
controlled the pace of play
for the team throughout the
game. Cameron Proudfoot
provided valuable minutes
of hustle play and scored
four points in the game.

when the team got in some
foul trouble early and gave
the team an energy boost
and also scored two points.

Rosenbalm has taken his

ly there in the 2014-15 and
