  • Eastern collects both respect, and their check at Oregon

    Paul Delaney, Staff Reporter|Updated Sep 10, 2015

    Sometimes there’s no place like being live to really soak in a college football game. Other times, however, when the distance is just a bit too far for a quick road trip, the comfort of the living room and the 55-inch flat screen was the perfect place to catch the kickoff of the 2015 college football season. Montana and North Dakota State can claim to playing first, but the season really hit high gear this past Saturday with many a head-turner — and certainly a head scr...

  • Eagles go indoors for game No. 2

    Paul Delaney, Staff Reporter|Updated Sep 10, 2015

    rom ear-splitting noise outdoors, to ear-splitting noise indoors. That's the environment No. 7 Eastern Washington faces as they travel to Cedar Falls, Iowa this Saturday for an 11 a.m. Central Time kickoff at No. 14 University of Northern Iowa's UNI Dome. However, if 58,000 screaming fans at Autzen Stadium in Eugene didn't much rattle the Eagles in their 61-42 opening week loss to Pac-12 power Oregon, then maybe 15,000 indoors will not either. EWU play-by-play broadcaster...

    NEWS SERVICE REPORTS|Updated Sep 10, 2015

    If there’s a better receiver at any level of college football, Cooper Kupp’s coach would like to see him. The sensational Eastern Washington University junior wide receiver has been named by the Big Sky Conference as this week’s ROOT Sports co-Offensive Player of the Week after finishing with career highs of 15 catches for 246 yards — both Autzen Stadium records — in a 61-42 loss to Oregon on Sept. 5. He shared the offensive award with Northern Arizona receiver Emmanuel Butler. With three touchdown receptions against t...

  • Cardinals fall at Orofino in weather-shortened game

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Sep 10, 2015

    Friday's season opening nonleague football game in Orofino left Medical Lake head coach Wes Hobbs wishing for more. Playing 28 minutes of a 48 minute game where he found his team close to putting it all together on a number of occasions, Hobbs, his Cardinals and the home standing Maniacs had to defer to Mother Nature. A rainstorm, much-needed to douse area wildfires, but accompanied by copious lightning strikes, rolled into the Clearwater River Valley just after halftime,...

  • Cheney shuts out Colville in season opener

    Al Stover, Staff Reporter|Updated Sep 10, 2015

    History did not repeat itself for the Cheney High football team as they opened their 2015 season with an impressive 28-0 non-league win over the Colville Indians, last Friday. While Colville defeated Cheney 12-10 in both teams' first game last season, the Blackhawks' defense prevented the Indians' offense from reaching the end zone this time. "I think it was a good showing," Cheney head coach Bobby Byrd said. "It's always a little nerve wracking to see how the team will come...
