The Mustangs (6-1 overall, 3-0 BMC) won the game despite not having quarterback/safety Landon Mitchell playing and turn- ing the ball over three times to the Tigers. Landon broke a collarbone in the game against Riverside/Ione. He had successful surgery and will be back for basketball season. The Mustangs scored the first four times they had the ball in the game. Their first score came as new starting quarterback Mason Orem led a nine- play drive to paydirt when Caden George ran the ball in from 4 yards out for the touchdown. That gave the Mustangs a 6-0 lead early in the game. Stanfield scored quickly on their first drive. The Mustangs came right back with a score of their own when Hayden McMahon raced 63 yards for a touchdown. That made the score 12-8 in favor of the Mustangs. Once again, the Tigers quickly scored to take the lead 14-12, but that lead was short lived. Orem led the Mustangs on a six- play drive to score again as Cameron Proudfoot ran the ball 37 yards for the touchdown. Caden George threw the ball to Orem for the 2-pt. conversion to make the score 20-14 Mustangs. On the next Stanfield possession, Nick Wenberg intercepted a pass to give the Mustangs great field position near mid field. On the very next play Hayden McMahon outran the Tiger defense for a 45-yard touchdown. That made the score 26-14 at the end of the first quarter. The Tigers went on a long drive, but the Mustang defense stopped them on downs at the Heppner six- yard line. The Mustangs took over but fumbled the ball to give Stanfield great field position. Stanfield took advantage and scored on the next play to pull closer by the score of 26-22 midway through the second quarter. The teams traded possessions for the rest of the quarter and the score was 26-22 at halftime. Heppner kicked off to start the second half. On a Stanfield running play, Landon McMahon caused a fumble that Caden George scooped up and ran 33 yards for a Mustang touchdown. Caden ran in the 2-pt. conversion to make the score 34-22. Stanfield went on a long drive, but it was halted when Cameron Proudfoot intercepted the Tiger quarterback. The next Heppner drive was halted when they fumbled the ball to Stanfield. The Tigers went on to score again to make it 34-28 as the third quarter came to an end. The next Heppner drive went deep into Tiger territory and was stopped again with another Mustang fumbl e.
