Medical Lake's first-ever cross country state championship earned the Cardinals a special reception upon the team's return from Pasco last Saturday. The team received an escort from the Medical Lake Fire Department. "The kids really got a big kick out of that," co-coach Gene Blankenship said. "They picked us up at the city limits and had their flashing lights as the bus followed," he said. "When we got into the city they put on the sirens and all these cars are pulling over...
Facing the Cashmere Bulldogs in an opening round playoff game on the road last Friday night, the Medical Lake Cardinals knew what to expect. And it was much like what the residents of a low-lying island face with a pending tsunami following an earthquake. They know the wave is coming but Mother Nature always wins. Cashmere's wave came on the ground with a fully-tilted attack that featured 508 yards on 45 carries – 11.28 yards per touch – and bowled over Medical Lake 54-14 in...

Colville eliminated Cheney from the District 7 2A volleyball tournament with a 3-0 shutout, putting to rest a strong year for the Blackhawks team.

The youngsters played like veterans Sunday afternoon at Reese Court, not because they wanted to, but because they had to. And the senior-less Eastern Washington University men’s basketball team used the 22 points, 11 rebounds from sophomore forward Venky Jois for an 87-58 basketball victory over Pacific University in the Eagles’ season opening game. Jois, the “Freshman of the Year” in the Big Sky Conference a year ago, added five assists, three blocked shots and three steals. He had 16 points and eight rebounds in the sec...
Cheney’s cross country teams have demonstrated all season that, lacking a superstar runner, success can also be had through hard work and dogged perseverance. Those traits paid off two weeks ago in return 2A state appearances for both Blackhawks boys and girls teams, who finished their season with eighth and 14th place finishes respectively on the 5,000-meter course at Pasco’s Sun Willows Golf Course. “Proud of the kids,” head coach Jay Martin said in an email. “They fought hard to get to state and then did the best they...
If one listens to Eastern Washington head football coach Beau Baldwin’s analysis of the challenge that awaits his team this Saturday afternoon at Alex Spanos Stadium in San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly might replace their Mustang mascot with the mythical multi-headed monster, known as the Hydra. From both an offensive and defensive standpoint the Eagles will have their hands full for this next-to-last Big Sky Conference regular season game that kicks off at 12:40 pm. and can be v...
Three first quarter interceptions led to three Cheney touchdowns, which was all the Blackhawks needed to notch a 20-14 home-win over Clarkston in last Friday night's season finale. The first pick came on the Bantams' second possession when senior RC Reed hauled in a Cole Copeland pass that was tipped at the line of scrimmage, returning the ball to the Clarkston 40. A block in the back penalty gave Cheney the ball at midfield, and a steady diet of Austin Kline runs culminated...
Nathan Harries found out about NCAA rules the hard way this summer as he was about to start his freshman year at Colgate University in New York. Instead of getting ready for the upcoming basketball season, he found himself with one year of his NCAA eligibility removed. The decision was reversed a week ago after numerous media outlets began sharing the story. This summer, Harries participated in the Dunwoody Baptist Church’s basketball league after returning from serving his mission with the LDS Church. According to NCAA r...
You know it's a good day on the football field when: • Your team scores on all but the final possession – that being a couple of kneel-downs. • Your quarterback connects on all but two passes. • And maybe best, your punter never takes the field. Those are just a few things that jumped out of Saturday's Big Sky Conference football showdown between No. 3 Eastern Washington and fourth-ranked Montana State, won by the Eagles in most convincing fashion, 54-29 at Roos Field....
Micah Dingfield led the Medical Lake boy's cross country team to Pasco and gave them the chance to win a state championship.

The Cardinals scored 72 points to easily outdistance LaCenter's 112 and the 128 from Meridian, delivering the school its fifth overall state title. Little did anyone know that Dingfield's dominating Most...

1 Years Ago Nov. 20, 2003 The city of Cheney moved to free itself of some of the uncertainty involved with receiving services from the Bonneville Power Administration by purchasing two electrical substations from BPA for $617,000. Medical Lake officials were in the midst of studying a long-term plan that would affect the city’s growth and economic development. Planning consultant Bill Grimes suggested the city look at areas including Fox Hollow, the western edge of Silver Lake as well as lands east and north of Brooks R...
