    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Apr 7, 2016

    Medical Lake’s success in track the past few years has centered largely on the strength of their distance athletes. There’s a shift now to the sprinters who have led the Cardinals to another impressive finish at the Deer Park Invitational last Friday, April 1.

  • Medical Lake softball splits games with Chewelah, Reardan

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Apr 7, 2016

    The bats were just not there one day, but were found on another as Medical Lake split a pair of softball games last week. The Cardinals fell to Chewelah in a Northeast A League game March 31 where they were limited to five hits in a 4-2 loss. The hits were back in an 8-2 win Saturday at Reardan in a nonleague game. “We fought hard to get back, our bats were stymied a little bit,” head coach Tim Blakely said. “As a team, when you bat below .200 for the game it doesn’t do you...

  • Cards break out big bats for wins over Newport, Chewelah

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Apr 7, 2016

    Medical Lake Cardinal baseball head coach Kerry Kelly has a good reason to be happy. Not only did his team score big victories last week but they saw the return of pitching ace Cory Wagner who was sidelined for a couple of weeks with a fractured thumb. The Cardinals put together a clinic in hitting and pitching early in the week scoring a pair of wins, a 10-0 one-hit complete game performance over Newport from Kyle Thompson. That was followed by an 11-1 victory on the road at...

  • Lady Blackhawks open Great Northern League softball

    John McCallum, Editor|Updated Apr 7, 2016

  • In World Wrestling Entertainment it's goodbye 'Divas,' hello superstars

    AL STOVER, Staff Reporter|Updated Apr 7, 2016

    I know I’ve written this before but I just want to get it out of the way. Yes, I know professional wrestling — or sports entertainment as it’s known in some circles — is scripted. But rather than getting into the argument of “fake vs. real,” I wanted to touch on some of the recent developments in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) from this past week, specifically relating to their women’s division. Hey, if ESPN can do live updates from WrestleMania last Sunday’s (April 3) and devote weekly segments to WWE’s “Raw” — n...
