    Updated Feb 21, 2019

    A 9-0 run early in the second half helped open a double-digit lead they wouldn’t relinquish, and the Eastern Washington University men’s basketball team beat Idaho 82-57 Monday (Feb. 18) 82-57 in a President’s Day game at Reese Court in Cheney. Eastern shot at a 62 percent clip in the second half to turn a seven-point advantage into a 29-point bulge in the second half.

    SHANNEN TALBOT, Staff Reporter|Updated Feb 21, 2019

    Cheney’s Lady Blackhawk gymnasts braved the elements on Friday, Feb. 15, and traveled to Mukilteo for a state qualifying meet, where sophomore Lauren O’ Callaghan earned a place at this weekend’s state championship in Sammamish, Wash. O’Callaghan was joined by Makayla Miller, Alexis Ewen, Sidnie Pacheco and Ashlynn Moad. The girls had to adjust quickly to schedule changes when their Feb. 8 district meet was postponed and later cancelled due to inclement weather, prompting local athletics directors to use scores from a Seattle...

  • Medical Lake girls lose in NEA playoff game

    Lee Hughes, Staff Reporter|Updated Feb 21, 2019

    The game at West Valley High School sometimes looked more like a wrestling match than a basketball game on Feb. 13 when the Medical Lake girls took on an aggressive Freeman team in the NEA championship game. Perhaps it was a grudge thing. After all, the Cards had beaten the Scotties in both of their regular season matches. In the end it was the Scotties physicality that was the Card girls’ demise. Freeman wasn’t afraid to haul down rebounds, wrestle for the ball, or in the...

  • Card girls smash Omak on the home hardwood

    Lee Hughes, Staff Reporter|Updated Feb 21, 2019

    It took four minutes for the visiting Caribou League Omak Pioneers (8-4, 14-9) to even get on the board against the Medical Lake girls’ “Red Crush” defense in a one-sided 59-33 victory on Saturday in post-season playoff action. The victory was led by 5-foot-8-inch Lexie Redell, who singlehandedly kept the Card offense scoring points at the start until Jaycee Oliver decided she wanted some of the action and hit a 3-pointer. Then the team’s first quarter shoot-fest began....
