For a second year in a row the Eastern Washington University football team begins preparations for their upcoming season with a chip on its collective shoulder. Spring practice begins Friday, April 4 with the memory of Towson University’s 35-31 Football Championship Subdivision victory last Dec. 21 at Roos Field. The visiting Tigers rallied in the final 5 minutes, 9 seconds and erased a 10-point EWU lead sending the Towson onto the national championship game in Frisco, Texas. Two years ago EWU’s furious rally fell short in...
Medical Lake’s defense came to the rescue in the end. But only after a lack of it helped dig the Cardinals into a hole in the first place last Wednesday in a Northeast A League baseball game at Kettle Falls. The Cardinals (3-1 NEA, 4-1 overall) rallied from deficits or 3-0 and 5-1 to beat the Bulldogs 7-6, earning a split in their week’s games following a 4-2 loss at Freeman (2-0, 2-0), last Tuesday. In the top of the eighth Cory Wagner walked to open the inning then stole second. Tristen Keith bunted Wagner over to thi...
Medical Lake ran its early-season winning streak to four straight before the string came to an end last week. The Cardinal bats remained hot in a 16-4 win Tuesday at Freeman (0-2, 0-2) as Medical Lake (3-1 NEA, 4-1) scored both early with a four-run first inning and then late knocking home seven more in the sixth. In all the Cards had 17 hits. Jordyn Soliday’s four, plus a triple, and Chelsea Hamby’s three hits, including a double, led Medical Lake. Shelby Pavao got her fourth pitching win. Wednesday, Kettle Falls (3-1, 4-1...
A new, but familiar face will guide the Medical Lake softball team in 2014. Longtime assistant, Tim Blakely, takes over for John Higgins who retired -again - following the conclusion of the 2013 season. Two seniors, Hailey Cheevers and Shelby Pavao, return from the Medical Lake team that finished 7-11 in the Northeast A League and 9-14 overall. Jordyn Soliday, also a senior, joins the team from Liberty High. Cheevers is in centerfield and is in her third year with the team....
There has been relatively little change over the years when it has come to coaching Medical Lake tennis. It was first under the careful guidance of Leroy Lemaster for decades, and most recently the girls have had Dawn Eliassen leading that team since 1999. Now, the most recent changes in coaching roles still have the program in familiar hands. Following the move of boys' coach Justin Blayne into an athletic administrator's role, the teams are now co-coached by Eliassen and...
The Cheney girls’ tennis team ended a short week with a victory over the North Central Indians, 26, making their dual record 3-0. Katlynn Smedley (No. 1 singles) kept her undefeated streak alive after she defeated NC’s Katie Dominguez 6-0, 6-0. She is now 3-0 in match play. Grace Pohl (No. 2 singles) picked up her first win of the season after she defeated the Indians’ Abby Colestock, 6-1, 6-1. Sarah Fillmore (No. 3 singles) picked up an impressive victory after she beat NC’s Elizabeth Bailey, 6-2, 6-0. In her season debut f...
The Cheney boys' golf team has been busy on the links, as they get ready for the remainder of the season. Bob Hilzendeger, who is in his second year as head coach, said the season is "going well." After losing seniors Nick Hilzendeger and Tyler Maurer to graduation, several players have been practicing in hopes of moving up the ranks. "They're a pretty young and inexperienced team so far," Hilzendeger said. "But, I'm seeing players coming around and improving quickly." One...
The Cheney High softball team went 2-1 in Great Northern League competition last week, downing Deer Park Tuesday and splitting a doubleheader Saturday with visiting East Valley. Tuesday the Lady Hawks broke through for multiple runs against Stags' ace Kylie Sweeney, getting an RBI double by Rachel Barsness and RBI single by Bailey Towey in the fifth inning en route to the 6-1 win. Cheney added insurance in the top of the seventh on a solo home run by Barsness and 2RBI triple f...
The rumor mill was running in overdrive following the recently concluded West Regional for the 2014 NCAA men's basketball tournament held at the Spokane Arena, March 20-22. Out of one end of the machine came word that Washington State University, the sponsoring collegiate institution, would not renew its involvement, and thus, our area's place -specifically Spokane - in the national spotlight would go away. Days after the Arena was returned to its usual spring tenants,...
Weathering the weather proved to be the toughest battle at last Saturday's Ezra Gordon Invitational track meet last Saturday in Colville. The meet, which attracted 23 girls teams, plus another 22 on the boy's side, including Medical Lake, saw lightning twice delay the event and finally lead to early cancellation of distance events. But despite the early end, the beginning and middle had notable accomplishments according the Cardinals' co-coach Gene Blankenship. "We had a...
Cheney High's boys' and girls' track and field squads have kicked things into a bit higher gear, traveling to Colville last Saturday for the Ezra Gordon Invitational, followed by hosting Spokane's North Central High School this past Monday in a meet rescheduled from March 27. In Colville the Blackhawk girls placed second out of 23 teams with 64 points, 29.5 points behind meet champion Lakeside. Cheney's boys finished in a three-way tie with Tonasket and Chewelah for 14th out o...
