  • Cardinal baseball season ends in loss to Brewster; Legion next

    Paul Delaney, Staff Reporter|Updated May 23, 2014

    Medical Lake packed the pitching arm, but seemed to forget the bats when they played their opening game of the 1A baseball Bi-Disrict playoffs last Tuesday in Moses Lake. Limited to just four hits by the Brewster Bears’ starting pitcher, Timbo Taylor, the Cardinals fell 3-0 at Larson Field ending their season at 12-9.

    Paul Delaney, Staff Reporter|Updated May 23, 2014

    If you're going to get beat, it might as well be by one of the best and the Brewster Bears certainly proved that last week. Medical Lake's soccer season came to an abrupt end May 13 in the opening round of the 1A Bi-District playoffs, 6-0 to the Bears. Brewster, 14-4, went on to beat Quincy 4-3, May 14.

  • Cheney out of softball playoffs

    John McCallum, Editor|Updated May 23, 2014

    Cheney’s attempt to continue advancing through the post season fell one run short Tuesday night as the Lady Hawks fell 8-7 to the East Valley Knights in District 7 third-round action at East Valley. The Knights grabbed an 8-0 lead after the first two innings, but Cheney slowly whittled that away. The Lady Hawks scored three in the fourth, one in the sixth and three more in their final at bat in the seventh, only to have the season end when umpires called a runner out for interference with an infielder. East Valley moves on t...

    John McCallum, Editor|Updated May 23, 2014

    The Cheney High softball team returned to its early and mid-season form just in time for the first round of District 7 playoffs, getting good pitching, hitting and defense in a crucial 5-1 win Thursday over visiting West Valley in a round-one, elimination game. After starting pitcher Julia Boyd got three straight outs to escape a two-on, no-out jam in the top of the first, the Lady Hawks responded with all they would need for the win in the bottom of the frame.

  • Hawks down Pullman for district's top-seed

    John McCallum, Editor|Updated May 23, 2014

    Last Thursday's Cheney High boys soccer game with visiting Pullman went about the way Blackhawks head coach Mark Kiver expected a third match-up with a challenging league foe might go - difficult and contested right to the final whistle. The state's top-ranked 2A team scored a goal in the 23rd minute, and got a stalwart defensive effort to make that stand en route to a 2-0 win over the 10th-ranked Greyhounds. The win gave Cheney (15-1-2) the No. 1 seed out of District 7 play...

  • Washington bracketology is about staying close to home

    John McCallum, Editor|Updated May 23, 2014

    Bracketology is always interesting. Doesn’t matter if it’s trying to figure out why the NCAA basketball selection committee made one team a 12 seed and another a 5 seed, when the 12’s record and schedule was better than the 5’s. Or why they sent Duquesne University (don’t ask why I picked them, I just did) from Pennsylvania to the West Region, and University of California-Davis to the Southeast Region. Figuring out how playoff-bracketing works is always interesting, at all levels. Take the upcoming Washington 2A boys soccer b...

    Updated May 23, 2014
