Little did Jim Townsend know that his 62-yard fumble return for a touchdown against Cal Poly in September would be up for an award in December. The Eastern Washington University junior defensive end out of Okanogan, Wash. High School is one of 18 finalists nationally for the Piesman Trophy (rhymes with Heisman), an annual award given by SB Nation to a “lineman who does something special with the ball in his hands.” Fans may vote for up to five of the finalists at: www.sbnation.com/a/piesman-trophy-2018. Among the 18 fin...

I will not be watching this Sunday’s Super Bowl. That is probably a first for me, but more one of logistics than anything else. This Sunday we’ll be driving back from Southern California after a quick trip to visit my wife’s mother and family, so watching the road is the order of the day. We’ll tune in the game on Sirius XM. See how that works for commercials. Even if there wasn’t a road trip in store over Super Bowl weekend, I’m not so sure I’d be as enthusiastic about one of the biggest events each year in our national spor...
Cheney High’s girls basketball team almost found a way to pull off an upset of the state’s seventh-ranked 2A team last Tuesday. The Lady Blackhawks fell behind early at home against Great Northern League leader Clarkston on Jan. 22, trailing 14-4 after the first eight minutes of play. But they rallied, outscoring the Bantams 20-11 in the third quarter to tie the game at 37 before fading down the home stretch in the 59-49 loss. Aijia Loffredi led Cheney in scoring with 16 points, with fellow senior Haley Pemberton adding 11....
The Medical Lake boys’ basketball crew lost on the road 76-61 against the NEA leading Deer Park (10-1, 18-1) on Friday. The Cards fell to 4-6 in Northeast A after a two-game winning streak on the road. “We found ourselves trying to dig out of a 25-7 first quarter hole on their Senior Night,” head coach Noel Hachtel said. “To add to the drama, Deer Park was also playing for their first-ever league championship.” From the tipoff, the Deer Park defense kept the Cards from scor...
Poor shooting and allowing their opponents too many easy points sent the Cheney High boys basketball team to a Great Northern League loss last Tuesday night against visiting Clarkston. The formula led to an early seven-point Blackhawks deficit after one quarter and they never found their way back in the 60-48 setback to the league-leading, visiting Bantams. Cheney head coach Gregg Smith said the Blackhawks shot 33 percent overall from the field, with just nine assists. The Bantams on the other hand pulled down 12 offensive...
The Medical Lake girls basketball squad took it right to Deer Park (7-4, 14-5) in a slap-down 58-38 win in front of the Stag home crowd Friday night at Deer Park High School. Their Cardinal pride was on the line, according to head coach Kyle Lundberg. “After losing at home to them, which resulted in our first league loss in 32 league games, they wanted to prove that it was just a fluke that they lost the last time,” Lundberg said. And prove it was a fluke they did. The Car...
By SHANNEN TALBOT Staff Reporter Mama Jeannie doesn’t quite know what to do with compliments. Jeannie Choi, called “Mama Jeannie” by employees and customers alike, is the owner and chef at D’bali Asian Bistro, the Airway Heights restaurant gaining a cult following for its signature Asian fusion dishes and distinctive seasonings. And when complimented on the delicious food coming out of her kitchen, she just smiles, waves a hand and says, “It’s not bad, huh?” Not bad is an und...
