A surprising season for the Medical Lake American Legion A-League team came to a very strange ending. After qualifying for the league playoffs in a season that was viewed simply as a time when young players were going to be learning the game and gaining experience, the team emerged from pool play 3-0. Thinking they might have earned a little easier path to the state playoffs following wins of 7-6 over University, 5-4 against host Lewis and Clark and a 9-4 clubbing of Mt....

The Cup will remain in Cheney for at least another year. For the second-straight time and third in the last seven seasons, Eastern Washington University has again won the Big Sky Conference Presidents’ Cup for the 2015-16 school year, the league office announced July 18.

The Presidents’ Cup is unique in collegiate athletics in that it reinforces the Big Sky’s dedicatio...
If last season’s finish was the first indication of football parity in the Big Sky Conference, this year’s preseason polls in the league affirm it. The Eastern Eagles have been pegged to finish third by the media and fourth by the coaches as the picks were released July 19 at the Big Sky Conference Football Kickoff in Park City, Utah. Northern Arizona was picked to finish first in both polls, but after that the next four spots were scrambled. Montana was picked second by the media, followed by Eastern, North Dakota and Por...
It's a big year for Eastern Washington University athletics director Bill Chaves. Ahead lies what he calls, "one of those milestone birthdays," his 50th, marked also by the start of his 10th year on the job in Cheney. When Montana State's Peter Fields stepped down recently, Chaves surprisingly became the longest tenured AD in the Big Sky Conference. That's saying something considering the game of musical chairs Chaves interrupted at EWU in July 2007 when he was named to the...
The Cheney 17U baseball team began its last leg of the season with a 10-9 loss in a nine-inning game against Pullman’s AA American Legion team, July 14. The one game against Pullman was originally scheduled as a doubleheader, but one contest was canceled due to American Legion playoffs, according to Cheney head coach Austin Sharp. Sharp said Pullman opted to make the game a nine-inning one. With the game tied 8-8 at the end of five innings, Cheney scored one run in the sixth to take the lead. Pullman took back the lead w...
In an effort to make football more exciting for fans, the NFL is looking at ways to increase the difficulty of the kicking game. One idea that has been brought up over the years is narrowing the width of the goal post uprights, which is currently at 18 feet, 6 inches. But this isn’t something league officials are going to hammer out overnight. They are taking more of a methodical approach to it. According to a story on NFL.com, the league is thinking about planting microchips into footballs during preseason games. If the p...
