There was a lot to like about Medical Lake's 24-15 Northeast A League football victory over Kettle Falls in last Friday's Homecoming game according to Cardinals' head coach Wes Hobbs. The win, which was Medical Lake's second straight improved their NEA record to 3-2 and overall mark to 4-3. "It was good, we needed that one," Hobbs said. "Regardless of the outcome with Freeman we've got a shot (at the postseason)." With Jackson Tappero scoring twice and rushing for 145 yards...
Medical Lake’s top-ranked 1A boys’ cross country team kept within striking range of earning their first Northeast A League championship in over a quarter century scoring an easy 16-43 win at home last Tuesday over Chewelah.

This past Tuesday the teams – the boys a perfect 4-0 and the girls 2-2 – traveled to Bear Lake County Park for their final NEA meet with league-leading Riverside...
By JOHN McCALLUM Editor Cheney girls soccer head coach Nils Radtke said he’s tried about everything he can, books, video, different lineups, you name it, but hasn’t be able to find the magic touch to coax a couple more wins out of the Lady Hawks. Cheney dropped both games last week to the Valley Schools, East and West, losing 3-1 Tuesday at home to the Knights and 4-0 to the Great Northern League-leading Eagles 4-0 on the road Thursday. Radtke said in both games the Lady Hawks had early scoring chances that might have changed...

Cheney High's cross country teams squared off with West Valley and Colville in Great Northern League competition last Wednesday at Plantes Ferry Park in Spokane Valley.

The boys notched a split, easily defeating Colville 24-32 but getting edged by West Valley 26-29. Mariah Brenton led the Cheney girls, finishing second with a time of 20 minutes, 47 se...
Encouraged by a youthful team with a fast finish a year ago, the Eastern Washington University men’s basketball team has been picked to finish fifth by the coaches and sixth by the media in preseason polls announced by the Big Sky Conference Oct. 17.

Despite being a house of horrors with painful losses in his last two visits to Washington Grizzly Stadium, Eastern Washington University head football coach Beau Baldwin is looking forward to returning there this Saturday when his third-ranked Eagles clash with the No. 10 Grizzlies. “It’s going to be a tremendous challenge, but that’s what we love,” Baldwin said this past Monday during the EWU Coaches Show. “We love those challenges, we love going on the road; what better pl...
For a half and then some, last Saturday's Homecoming football game between Eastern Washington and Southern Utah had a certain sense of déjà vu to it. It seemed eerily familiar to the 2012 contest between the two teams played in Cedar City where missed opportunities eventually cost the Eagles both the game, 30-27, and their No. 1 ranking in the Football Championship Subdivision. In the 2012 game, then redshirt freshman quarterback Vernon Adams struggled in his start and was r...
Just about any coach will tell you the secret to winning on the field is execution – plain and simple doing what you're supposed to do. In the first half of last Friday's Homecoming game with visiting Deer Park the Cheney football team was their own worst enemy at times, with mistakes preventing the Blackhawks from getting any real momentum and helping the Stags to a 7-0 halftime lead. In the second half, execution took over. The Blackhawks scored three straight touchdowns, o...
It’s October, and that means it’s time for the greatest spectacle in the history of sports: the end of another Seattle Mariners season. On “The X-Files,” FBI agent Fox Mulder said “I want to believe” regarding the existence of extra-terrestrial life. Mariners fans across the Northwest, including myself, have adopted the saying for the team, wanting to believe that one day the team will manage to have a stretch of success. The organization is arguably in deeper despair than it was at its last major crisis, around 2008 when i...
After winning a program-record 14 league games and advancing to the WNIT for the second time in school history a year ago, Big Sky coaches and media members have tabbed the Eastern Washington women's basketball team first in the Big Sky preseason polls, announced by the conference office Wednesday, Oct. 16. EWU's previous best preseason ranking under head coach Wendy Schuller came prior to the 2010-11 season when the Eagles were picked to finish second in both polls. Eastern...
