Toss out an official’s inadvertent whistle and it’s possible the story on Eastern Washington University’s women’s basketball game last Saturday against the University of Washington in Seattle might have been about more postseason. But that isn’t the case so the focus is on a post mortem following the Eagles’ 65-60 double-overtime loss to the Huskies in the first round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament at Alaska Airlines Arena. The loss denied Eastern its first nati...
Former Eastern Washington University quarterback Erik Meyer threw for eight touchdown passes and ran for another in leading the Spokane Shock to a 67-41 season-opening Arena Football League win over the Cleveland Gladiators March 24 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

With 6:29 left in the first Tennell made it a 13-0 game with his 1-yard run. Jordan Kamar became Meyer’s target for his next t...

Medical Lake got off to a fast start in its 2013 Northeast A League baseball season last Saturday with a pair of stout offensive performances. The Cardinals scored nine runs in the first inning of a 14-4 win in the opening game of a doubleheader and then got even better in the 21-1 win over the Grizzlies in the nightcap, scoring 10 runs in their first at bat. “We had a great week of practice and everything translated onto the field,” Cardinals’ head coach Kerry Kelly said....

Pullman (3-0 GNL, 4-2 overall) outshot Medical Lake 15-9 with goalkeeper Brendan Satcher making seven saves. The Cardinals traveled to Clarkston this past Tuesday for another warm-up game for Northeast A League play that begins with a home...
What a difference a year’s experience plus shaking the trees and bushes has done for Medical Lake baseball. Four games into the 2013 season the Cardinals have surpassed their 2012 win total following twin maulings of Newport 14-4 and 21-1 last Saturday on the road. Cardinals’ third-year head coach Kerry Kelly assembled 39 prospects for their return to the Northeast A League and will carry 13 of those on his varsity roster. “It’s a group of kids that’s worked hard in the offse...
The Cheney boys’ track and field team split up to gain experience in a pair of multi-team invitational meets last Saturday. The bulk of the Blackhawks traveled to the Columbia Basin for the Ray Cross Invitational in Ephrata, finishing seventh overall out of 26 schools. Tom Trude led the Blackhawks on the track, finishing third in the 200-meter dash in 24.01 seconds. Jesse Hallstrom was fourth in the 800 in 2:02.61 with Kyle Lerch sixth in the 3,200 in 10:11.17. Calvin Berstler was 10th in the 300 hurdles in 44.08, with the 4x...
As much as Cheney girls’ track head coach Tom Stralser is uncertain about his team’s chances at winning a sixth consecutive Great Northern League and District 7 championship, he does feel pretty good about some of the Blackhawks winning something a tad bigger – a state title. Stralser thinks the Blackhawks have a chance to produce four, five or six 2A state champions at the Memorial Day meet at Mt. Tahoma High School in Tacoma. Cheney returns five All-GNL first team membe...
Cheney High’s baseball team is off to a 1-4 start, but if that seems discouraging, the Blackhawks and their fans can check a little recent history – last year’s squad also started 1-4. That team went on to win 15 of their last 20 games, seven straight at one point, en route a 17-9 record, District 7 title and second seed to the 2A state tournament where they lost to East Valley-Yakima in the quarterfinals. Blackhawks manager Randy Elam returns three of last year’s nine starters for his eighth season at the helm of Cheney...

After a strong couple of outings last week, the Cheney tennis team was unable to overcome a strong Mt. Spokane team Tuesday, March 19, losing 0-7. The final score, however, doesn’t factor in the absence of the team’s three top players. Boys’ team head coach Jesse Erickson said their absence was heavily felt, especially against Mt. Spokane’s experienced team. “Mt. Spokane has a much more experienced team, and they’re much more consistent,” he said. Mason Van Stone had the lone set win of the day, going 6-4, 4-6, 8-10. “That w...
Head coach Gary Blake had a philosophical outlook about his young Cheney softball team’s 12-7 loss at West Valley. “We hit the ball well,” Blake said. “You score seven runs, you really should win.” Both teams hit well, slugging it out for 27 hits, 10 by the Lady Hawks. What Cheney needs to tweak now is its pitching, something that will come as the weather warms, and its fielding. While the published box score had the Lady Hawks with just one error, by Blake’s count it was four. Senior Katie Bethel gave the Lady Hawks the l...
Last weekend a lot of attention was fixated on tournaments. First was the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. So much excitement, so much hype in the lead-up. Then so much devastation and depression for many when local favorite Gonzaga – the nation’s No. 1 ranked team and the West’s No.1 seeded team – first tripped over the curb a week ago be barely beating an upstart Southern University team. And after the Bulldogs completely “zagged it” Saturday against Wichita State, those wh...
