HEPPNER -- Tiny Oregon Class 1A Helix brought seven girls, one-seventh of the school's student body, into Heppner to take on a slate of larger classification schools in the season-opening Heppner tournament and came out with a respectable showing.
Pool play saw the Grizzlies lose 17-25, 24-26 to Class 3A opponent Corbett, splitting with host Heppner 20-25, 25-18, and finally breaking through against the Pendleton junior varsity 25-7, 25-18.
Helix's 1-1-1 record out of pool play left the Grizzlies seeded third heading into bracket play.
