  • Blue Devils bounced

    Updated Jul 17, 2015

    The Spokane Blue Devils AAA American Legion baseball season skidded to a halt following the first two days of the league playoffs. With losses to the Northstars, 14-5 on July 13 and to the Cannons, 10-0 July 14, sandwiched around a 10-0 victory Monday night over the N.E, 49ers, the Blue Devils were ousted from the double-elimination tournament. The Blue Devils had just returned from playing six games at a tournament in Boise where with just 12 players, they finished a surprising second with a 4-2 record. Watch for a wrap-up...

  • Summerhawks 15U drops games to Joes, Hurricanes

    AL STOVER, Staff Reporter|Updated Jul 17, 2015

    The Cheney Summerhawks 15U baseball team continued to grind through their season after losses to the Joes, 11-6, July 7, and the Hurricanes, 2-1, on Monday. Against the Joes, Cheney got a burst of offense early, leading for most of the game. Down 4-1 in the fifth inning, the Joes came back to take the lead and kept it for the rest of the game. Despite the loss, head coach Nick Fell complimented his team’s pitching and offense. “We swung the bats really well, but we just couldn’t capitalize,” Fell said. Against the Hurrica...

  • Former Eastern Eagle Matt Nichols looked good in starting role

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Jul 17, 2015

    Perhaps the injury shoe that Matt Nichols has worn throughout much of his professional football career in Canada has worn out? Or he’s outgrown it and never wants to wear that style again? The former Eastern Eagle who was twice named Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year in 2007 and 2009. Nichols later earned a tryout with the Dallas Cowboys, was originally signed by the Edmonton Eskimos in 2010, but has spent the majority of his CFL career on crutches it seems. But July 9, a...

    AL STOVER, Staff Reporter|Updated Jul 17, 2015

    The Cheney Summerhawks 17U baseball team came off another busy weekend after they went 2-2 in the East Valley Red Hawk Classic Tournament, July 9-12, in Yakima. They lost to Sedro Woolley, 11-6, and Arlington, 8-0, then defeated Sunnyside, 9-6, and Yakima Rattlers, 11-7, in the consolation bracket. Cheney started the tournament against Sedro Woolley in what head coach Austin Sharp described as a "back-and-forth" game. After Cheney led 6-5 in the sixth inning, Sedro Woolley sco...

  • Denny's wild ride caps Cheney Rodeo

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Jul 17, 2015

    Five of the eight championships were decided on Friday night at the 48th Annual Cheney Rodeo, but those who ventured out to Bi-Mart Arena Sunday got to likely see the performance of the weekend. That's where bareback rider Wyatt Denny from Minden, Nev. scored an 81 on a mount named Lakota to win that championship over Colbert, Wash. rider Jed McKinley's 80. It was after completing his required eight-second ride that the drama began. Denny was unable to free himself from the...

  • Cheney loses host role in Little League tournament

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Jul 17, 2015

    In the simplest of forms, baseball's a game of hits, runs, pitches, strikes, balls and errors. But it's also one of knowing the signs, from coaches to players running the bases and with the catcher to his pitcher. And maybe in the case of the Washington State Little League 9-10 age group state tournament that was to have started July 17 and run upwards of 12 days at Salnave Park in Cheney, it was having no signs, or confusing ones at best. Just a few weeks before the city was...

  • Thank you to those who did not light fireworks

    Updated Jul 17, 2015

    The governor of Washington state, the mayor of Medical Lake and numerous fire officials asked that we forgo using Fourth of July fireworks this year due to the dangerous drought conditions. I was embarrassed and disappointed by the number of people who chose to ignore the requests and instead terrorize pets, traumatize veterans and risk the lives and property of their neighbors. What may I ask is so “patriotic” about watching your hard-earned money disappear with a bang and a puff smoke? Wouldn’t it have been more patri...
