"We are still counting and tying down numbers," Edwards wrote in an email. He followed up on that during a later interview, saying that, "We were a little light...
The pressure hung heavy on freshman Jayda Noble as she stepped to the free throw line with 1 second remaining in her team's 1A regional game against LaSalle and Medical Lake trailing 47-45 Febraury 25 in the Cheney High School gym. When the first foul shot clanked off the rim, then the tears welled in her eyes because it meant the Cinderella season for the Cardinals had the wheel fall off the carriage on the way to the state championship ball. But it wasn't that miss, nor the...

The Blackhawk girls weren't far back either, tying Ellensburg w...
