The tourna- ment-style event is held in Umatilla at the high school and junior high school gyms. It brings together some of the best compe- tition from all over the region and from different classifications. The Mustangs start- ed off by playing the The Dalles Riverhawks, a 4A school that had some tre- mendous three-point shoot- ers. Heppner started strong in the matchup until mid- way through the first quarter when they got doubled up 12-6. The Dalles stretched their lead to 20-9 at the end of the first quarter. Heppner played really well in the second quarter and cut the Riverhawk lead midway through the quarter to only four points at 22-18. The Mustangs then trailed at halftime by the score of 33-22. The second half saw the Riverhawk sharpshoot- ers hit deep three after deep three to stretch their lead out. The Mustangs strug- gled to put the ball in the basket and trailed 52-28 at the end of three quarters. The fourth quarter was much of the same and the Riverhawks defeated the Mustangs by the score of 66-40. Leading the scoring for Heppner was Gage Heideman with 11 points. Gage also tallied two re- bounds in the game. Kea- ton Coiner followed with nine points, and he hauled down a team high seven rebounds. With five points each were Mason Orem and Alakae Rodriguez. Mason also had two assists and Alakae finished with 1 re- bound and three assists. Tripp Stewart had three points, two rebounds and two assists while Caylan Proudfoot had two points, two rebounds and two as- sists. Caleb George scored two points and had three rebounds for the Mustangs and Marty Medina recorded two rebounds and Joseph Albitre finished with two assists in the game. Next up for the Mus- tangs was the 3A Riverside Pirates. This team qualified for the 3A State Playoffs last season and returned the majority of that team. Heppner started the game off slowly and struggled to score. The Mustangs trailed 20-14 at the end of the first quarter. Heppner could only manage to score two points in the second quarter and trailed 37-16 at halftime. The third quarter con- tinued much like the second quarter did and the Pirate sharpshooters continued their hot shooting. The Mustangs trailed 53-23 at the end of the third quarter. Both coaches cleared their benches in the fourth quar- ter to give every member of their teams some playing time. The Pirates won the game by the score of 56-24. Mason Orem led the team in scoring with 14 points and he also had three rebounds. Next with four points and a rebound was Heideman. With three points each were Albitre and Keaton Coiner. Al- bitre also had a rebound and Keaton finished with a team-high seven rebounds. George finished with one rebound and two assists, Stewart and Proudfoot had two rebounds each and Rodriguez finished with a rebound. With one assist in the game was Marty Medina. The Mustangs finished off the tournament with a win over the Ione/Arlington Cardinals by the score of 43-24. The Cardinals scored the first five points of the game before the Mustangs caught fire and soon evened the score at 7-7. The Mus- tangs led the game 11-10 at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter is where the Mustangs took control of the game and led at the half 21-13. Hep- pner continued to control things in the third quarter and stretched their lead to 37-20 at the end of the quar- ter. A highly competitive game continued through the fourth quarter with both teams giving it their all. When the final horn sound- ed, the Mustangs got the win by the score of 43-24. Orem once again led the Mustangs with 16 points and he also had two rebounds. Next with 12 points, two rebounds and three assists was Albitre. Keaton Coiner was next with eight points, a game high 10 rebounds and an assist. With three points, one rebound and one assist was George, and finishing the game with two points each were Proudfoot and Darby Spivey. Proudfoot also had five rebounds and two assists in the game while Spivey finished with six rebounds for the Mus- tangs. Rodriguez had two rebounds and an assist, Heideman finished with three rebounds, Medina had two rebounds, Jace Wilson one and Stewart had an assist. The Mustangs are 3-2 so far on the young season.
