The U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced Jan. 8 the state-by-state winners of its inaugural High School Cross Country Coach of the Year. Medical Lake head cross country and track coach Gene Blankenship earned the vote for the state of Washington. “There’s an awful lot of great coaches in Washington state that have better records than I,” Blankenship said. “Coaches don’t win those kind of things without having some kids that are reall...
Medical Lake ventured into the tall grass, so-to-speak, in their lone Northeast A League wrestling match last week, traveling to face defending state 2A champion Deer Park and falling 63-18. Hudson Petek at 160 pounds, Ian O’Brien (280) and Jackson Tappero (182) all won by pins for the Cardinals. “We competed very well,” head coach Sam Petersen said. “Two others, Keoni Paikuli and Justin Brundage, were ahead before they got caught and pinned.” The Cardinals took a limited s...
It’s been feast or famine for the Medical Lake girl’s basketball team this season. And last week’s split of a pair of Northeast A League contests, losing 42-38 at home to Colville, but capping things with a hold-your-breath 35-34 win on the road at Newport, was a perfect example. “Yeah that was a nice win,” Cardinals head coach Kyle Lundberg said of the Newport victory. “I was proud of the girls, and how they were able to find a way to win. That’s important because we re...

The Cheney High School girls' basketball team came up short last week in their bid to move up in the standings of the Great Northern League. Instead, the Lady Blackhawks dropped all three of their road contests, including a 43-42 loss at Pullman Saturday night. Cheney's balanced scoring helped them stake a 25-22 lead at the half, but a cold - or colder than the Greyhounds - third quarter led to a one-point deficit heading into the final eight minutes, and the Lady Blackhawks...
Three straight road losses last week helped keep the Cheney High School boys’ basketball team at the bottom of the Great Northern League pack. The Blackhawks came up short in a couple of tough losses to Spokane Valley schools, beginning with a 51-41 loss Jan. 6 at East Valley and last Friday’s 53-47 setback at West Valley. Last Saturday, Cheney was no match for the No. 4-ranked 2A school in the state, Pullman, falling 66-35 to the Greyhounds. The Blackhawks had shots at upsetting both Valley schools. Tuesday against the Kni...
The Cheney High wrestling team dove right into Great Northern League competition Jan. 7 with a 48-36 loss to West Valley, followed by a seventh-place finish in the Silver Bracket at the River City Duals Tournament Jan. 10 in Post Falls. The Blackhawks weren't at full strength in the West Valley dual, as they forfeited four matches. The Eagles forfeited one match. Despite losing in team scores, several Cheney wrestlers had good performances. Cameron Wiseman (138 pounds) led...
With one of the toughest, and by far busiest weeks of the season so far in front of them, the Medical Lake boy's basketball team takes the momentum of two convincing victories with them. The Cardinals topped Colville 61-50, Jan. 6 at home and then traveled to Newport, Jan. 9 where they breezed past the Grizzlies 67-38. Medical Lake, who faced the top-rung of the Northeast A League teams - a place they share with a 5-0 record - hosted Lakeside (4-1 NEA, 9-2 overall) this past...
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson put on an impressive performance in Seattle’s 31-17 win over the Carolina Panthers in the NFC divisional playoff game. Besides Kam Chancellor’s pick for a 90-yard touchdown, Wilson was the star of the night. He completed 15 of 22 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns. In a postgame interview, former Seahawks quarterback Warren Moon praised Wilson for his performance. “That ball, that was some of the best touch you will ever see,” Moon said. The Seahawks’ have had some great quarterba...
As the Eastern Washington women's basketball team watched the University of Idaho turn a 16-point deficit into a three-point lead with just under five minutes to play in last Saturday's Big Sky Conference basketball game at Reese Court, they needed a fix. That came from a combination of youth and a veteran for the Eagles who survived to collect a 71-65 win and keep their conference record unblemished at 3-0 - alone atop the early standings - with their overall mark at 10-4....
