There's a number of golfers who Medical Lake boy's coach Jim Mason would love to have more time to craft into better players. He's going to get his wish, but likely not until next year because the bulk of his team this year, a turnout of 18, are either freshmen or sophomores. That's what Mason called a huge turnout. "I have a lot of new golfers and basically three returners from last year," Mason said. "Zach Elder is probably my top guy," with Adam Howard another key team...

The Cheney Blackhawks baseball team had a short break before traveling to Colville to play the No. 1 ranked Indians in a Great Northern League (GNL) doubleheader, Saturday April 12. The Blackhawks dropped both games to Colville, the first 3-1 and the second, 6-3. The Indians took the lead after two runs in the second inning in game one. An RBI single by Sawyer Sims helped Cheney score their first run in the third. Head coach Mike Cagle said Sims had hurt his shoulder earlier in the game as he slid head first into second...
EA Sports has given mixed martial arts fans and gamers a treat for the upcoming UFC video game. The company announced that movie star and martial arts legend Bruce Lee will be an unlockable character in the game. This allows fans can now live out their fantasy of playing “the Dragon” against today’s top competitors - at least in the realm of video games. Although Lee’s model will have his likeness and sport yellow trunks - a homage to the yellow jumpsuit he wore in the 1973 hit “Game of Death.” I doubt gamers actually wi...
Medical Lake co-head track coach Gene Blankenship has a couple of scenarios he's looking at for the upcoming season that kicked off yesterday (Wednesday, April 16). If the team performs as it has so far through a handful of invitational events they'll compete amongst the middle of the pack in the Northeast A League. However, if he and his other co-coach Steven Keith, can coax a little more distance out of field events, they just might challenge the top teams, specifically,...
A Saturday trip to Colville might have been a bit too early for the Cheney High softball team to return to from spring break. And maybe it was the wrong opponent. The Lady Hawks committed an uncharacteristic five errors, almost double the number committed in their first six games, and couldn’t find a way to get to Indians ace McKenna Cabbage, falling in doubleheader action 9-1 and 12-2. Two of those errors came in the second inning of game one, putting the first two Colville runners on base. A walk loaded the bases and the I...
Eastern Washington head football coach Beau Baldwin seemed to evoke a little Grantland Rice when talking about his team's first football scrimmage of the year staged April 12 at Roos Field. Rice, a noted sportswriter from the 1920s, coined that age-old axiom of "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game," to conclude his famous poem, "How you played the game." "We don't get caught up in whether the offense or defense wins the scrimmage," Baldwin said. "We...
Either I’ve invented a new form of sleepwalking, let’s call it “sleep traveling,” or I’m not taking enough pictures. We get a lot of emails here at the Cheney Free Press. A lot of it’s good, requests for advertisements, press releases, informational opinion pieces, story leads and so on. A lot of it is crap. It would be great to filter it, this Spam (I actually like Spam, the mystery meat), but alas, we can’t as it could block other messages we do wish to receive. So we endure. And in enduring, as I said above, I do believe...
It’s been said it can take years to build up trust, only to have it destroyed overnight by one small act. In a column on PACE’s character trait for April, trustworthiness, Better Business Bureau communications specialist Matthew Sewell links the ability to establish trust with the way we use technology and all forms of media today. Sewell hypothesizes the more time we spend with media, the less time we dedicate to connecting with our peers face to face. “By extension, it could be deduced that we are less likely to trust anoth...
