Cheney rallied from behind but came up short as they lost to North Central 33-27. The Blackhawks were done 26-0 at one point in the second quarter but had some solid defense and quick scores from the offense to put them back into the game. Senior running back Charles Johnson was all over the field for the Cheney Blackhawks in the game versus North Central. Johnson had 16 carries for 138 yards along with a rushing touchdown and a punt return touchdown. Running back and...
They came that close... The 1967 Eastern Washington State College Savages football team had a magical season under coach Dave Holmes that led to the NAIA national championship game versus Fairmont State College of West Virginia. The team lost just once that season, 28-21 in the title game played at Morgantown, W.V. at the University of West Virginia. That team was honored on its 50th anniversary prior to the 2017 Eastern Washington season opening game Sept. 9 versus North...
The wildfire smoke that left the region choking has finally been whisked away, but it’s left the Medical Lake cross country team a little sight impaired as the Cardinals get a delayed start to their season. Following the cancellation of the Highlander Invite on Sept. 9 at Shadle Park High School, ML head coach Gene Blankenship is left to wonder a bit as he preps the team for Saturday’s Seaport Invitational in Clarkston, Wash. “You get a chance to find out who really are the t...
Medical Lake appeared to have made some strides in its opening football game versus Kellogg on Sept. 1. But the progress took a step backwards it appears when the Cardinals were shutout 29-0 Saturday, Sept. 9 at Priest River. The game was moved after virtually all area high school sports were either postponed or canceled due to the lingering wildfire smoke that blanketed the region. The Cardinals (0-2) were limited to just 65 total yards, 48 of that through the air via the...
Geiger scores ‘em all in Cards win Makayla Geiger had just another career game Sept. 11. The senior forward scored all five Medical Lake goals in a 5-1 Northeast A League win over Newport that was rescheduled from Sept. 7 due to problems with wildfire smoke. Geiger, who scored 14 times last season and set a school record with 21 career goals, opened scoring for the Cards (1-1) at the 20-minute mark. After Newport’s Chloe Clark tied it, Geiger gave her team a lead they wou...

Unhealthy air caused by smoke from regional wildfires played havoc with the opening of local high school sports action last week — indoors as well as outdoors. Rules governing Pullman School District activities led not only to the cancellation of its soccer match last Thursday with Cheney, but also that evening’s volleyball contest with the Blackhawks. Third-year CHS volleyball head coach Heather Zorrozua’s squad did manage to hit the hardwood competitively — hosting Greater Spokane League 3A Rogers on Sept. 6. After droppin...
Due to the smoke filled air, the Cheney High School football team's game was delayed by one day and took place last Saturday afternoon against Greater Spokane League's North Central where the Blackhawks rallied from behind but eventually fell 33-27. "As far as effort, the boys did great," head coach Bobby Byrd said. "It was a wacky situation with it being a mid-day rescheduled game, but it came down to the team with less mistakes and North Central did a great job at that."...
Despite the cancellation of the annual Highlander Invitational at Shadle Park due to still smoky conditions, the Cheney High School cross country teams still found a way to make it onto a course for their first competition of the season. They just had to travel a bit further to do it. The Blackhawks managed to squeeze in to the Moses Lake Invitational at Blue Heron Park on Saturday, likely to the displeasure of several other teams. The Cheney girls took first in the varsity and junior varsity 5,000-meter races while the boys...
From the program that helped NFL Hall-of-Famer Vince Lombardi get his start, Eastern Washington University hopes it sees first-year head coach Aaron Best earn his initial victory. Kickoff against Fordham University at Jack Coffey Field in the Bronx is 10:06 a.m. with only radio coverage on 700-AM ESPN and 105.3-FM in the Spokane/Cheney area. The Rams are 1-1 after an opening crusher of a loss, 64-6 at Army and a 38-31 come-from-behind win over Central Connecticut, both on the...
It had no official title. But last Saturday's home opening football game between the No. 2 ranked Football Championship Subdivision North Dakota State Bison and the then No. 7 Eastern Washington Eagles could have had a catchy subtext. Rumble on the Red or the Rivalry at Roos have an alliterative ring. As it turned out it was a Bison stampede as the rubber-match between the two football powers ended in a 40-13 NDSU rout. Few saw that coming after the previous two match-ups have...
Cheney High girls soccer head coach Nels Radtke had a good feeling early on in last Saturday's non-league game with West Plains rival Medical Lake. Both teams battled each other pretty evenly through the first 30 minutes of the game on the Lady Blackhawks pitch. Cheney settled for outside shots at the start, with Cardinals goalkeeper Annastasia Hurt-Moran making several key saves. That changed in the 31st minute when Emma Evans connected with Kaitlin Teeters for a goal. What...
CHENEY Sept. 5 Cheney police received a call from a man in Idaho who was engaged in a conversation via social media with an individual on the 10000 block of West Melville Road. The man became concerned for the individual during the conversation, and contacted Cheney to request a welfare check. Mental health issue was reported on the 18000 block of South Lois Drive. Individual works in Cheney, and fellow employees requested a welfare check. The Cheney School District school resource officer was contacted about a juvenile who w...
The opening of the food pantry, Cleone's Closet, in Airway Heights is still underway even though it is opening a little later than expected. Originally it was going to be open Sept. 6 but with the remodeling of the new building located at 13114 Sunset Highway, it is set to open on Oct. 2. Volunteers arrived on Friday, Sept. 8 to help paint the inside walls. The next steps for the organization are the electricity and plumbing work, the city to approve it and Second Harvest to...
