With the regular season's end rapidly approaching, the Cheney High boys' soccer team pretty much knows where they'll start the upcoming Great Northern League playoffs - on the road.

Cheney has suffered three straight loses, the last two coming last week at East Valley, 2-1, and at home against league-leading Pullman, 2-0. Knights' midfielder Chase Binder broke a...

What’s that old saying about where “close” almost counts? Horseshoes and hand grenades come to mind. The Medical Lake soccer team was close twice last week but still lost Northeast A League matches 2-1 at league-leading Colville, April 19, and 1-0 at Newport, April 21. “We played them strong,” Cardinals’ head coach Zane Higgins said of Colville, which improved to a perfect 6-0 in the NEA (7-0 overall) in a contest where his team had plenty of late chances and its only goal....

The girls finished second with 137 points, six strokes ahead of East Valley (131).

Cheyenne Marchand finished second overall after shooting a 59, which is 34 higher than her score in the March 22 GNL tourn...

Among other things, Medical Lake head softball coach Tim Blakely learned last week that the Northeast A League’s perennial power, Lakeside, has not necessarily reloaded, but retooled. After a big-bats victory, 15-5, April 18 against Riverside (2-5 NEA 3-7 overall), Medical Lake (3-4, 7-5) saw its modest three-game winning streak getting thumped by Lakeside April 21, 10-0 in six innings and 16-3, a contest that went the distance. “They are a solid, solid team,” Blakely said....
The Medical Lake boys’ tennis team ran its win streak to three and a 5-1 league record with a 5-0 win over Freeman, April 21. Kason Bailey played his first match at No. 1 singles, moving up from No. 2, and set the stage with an easy 6-1, 6-1 win. “Kason has been steadily improving at singles and is one of the most steady players we have on the team,” assistant coach Todd Harr said. Kyle Booey had a similar easy time of things at No. 2 with his 6-2, 6-1 win to close out singl...
The Cheney High boys’ tennis team continued its path to a second Great Northern League regular season title with wins over Pullman, 4-3, April 19, and West Valley, 6-1, April 21. Ryan Axtell, No. 1 singles, came back to defeat Marcello Scudiero, 2-6, 6-2, 6-4. After Axtell dropped the first set, head coach Jesse Erickson suggested he “be a little more patient” and “let his opponent’s shots come to him.” “In those second and third sets, Ryan picked his moments and capitalized when he had an opening,” Erickson said. Mason Van...
The Cheney High girls’ tennis team hit a rough spot during Great Northern League play after a 6-1 loss to Pullman, April 19, then rebounded to defeat West Valley, 6-1, April 21.

The road to the Great Northern League postseason continues to be a rocky one for the Cheney High baseball team, who went 0-3 in league play last week, bringing their losing streak to four games.

When Medical Lake came in second place last May at the state 1A track meet at Eastern Washington's Roos Field it took many by surprise. The Cardinals finished behind King's High School of Seattle 88-56 in 2015 as they sought to defend the team title they won in 2014, but did so with just six entries, most of whom have now graduated. So as the 2016 season dawned, the Cardinal co-coaches, Gene Blankenship and Steve Keith, figured it would be a year of rebuilding. Well surprise...
If the Cheney High softball team is interested in defining that moment when they learned how to win close games, they couldn’t go wrong with last Friday’s game one of a doubleheader at West Valley. Down 5-1 against the then- Great Northern League leading Eagles, Cheney scored nine runs in the last three innings en route to a 10-8 win. In the fourth, Meghan Krantz and Courtney Johnstone delivered RBI singles to pull Cheney within two. In the fifth, Krantz drew a two-out, bases-loaded walk to score Shelby Melton, and Joh...
So, Whitman College has become the latest school to drop its mascot. In a recent Associated Press story, the Walla Walla-based school announced their sports teams will no longer be called the “Missionaries,” named after missionaries Marcus and Narcissa Whitman who were killed with 12 other settlers by nearby Cayuse Indians in 1847. In the story, reporter Nicholas K. Geranios wrote school officials considered the mascot “noninclusive, imperialistic and incorrectly implied that Whitman, “a private, liberal arts school of abou...
There's certainly plenty of power in the offense and lots of pop on defense that was on display in the annual Eastern Washington University Red-White football scrimmage, Saturday, April 23 at Roos Field. The Eagle offense, led by sophomore Gage Gubrud and two other experienced quarterbacks fighting for the starting job, piled up 382 yards on 84 plays. But while the offense scored 34 points, the defense had its share of big plays, with seven sacks, eight passes broken up and a...

1 Years Ago May 4, 2006 Expanding on their earlier efforts to create a vision for the future, the Cheney City Council met to further define 21 specific goals at its recent meeting. The Medical Lake School District outlined recent efforts to implement the class-size reductions through the voter-approved initiative I-728, approved by voters in 2000 by a record 72 percent. New uses of the money included a K-3 art teaching position and a part-time kindergarten teacher. The Medical Lakes boys’ tennis team clinched its 14th league...
