    FOOTBALL Gubrud wins national FCS honor An 80 percent passing performance is pretty rare, but the supporting cast made it happen for Eastern Washington University senior quarterback Gage Gubrud.

  • Cheney volleyball season kicks off with a win

    SHANNEN TALBOT, Staff Reporter|Updated Sep 6, 2018

    The Lady Blackhawks won their first game of the season by a close margin last Friday against Northwest Christian School, eking out the win 16-14 in the fifth and final set. "It was a close game. We learned a lot about the things we need to focus on," head volleyball coach Heather Zorrozua said. The girls had to adjust to a different schedule when their game was moved to much earlier in the day to precede a football game. It was a back-and-forth battle for the win, with the...

  • Medical Lake volleyball delivers wins at Davenport Tournament

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Sep 6, 2018

    Following their showing at the Davenport Tournament, there may be something to the old “three is a charm” adage. At least that is what third-year Medical Lake head volleyball coach Todd Harr might be thinking following his team coming away with a 2-1 record and his first match wins with the program. “Starting the season with two wins is what this team deserves and has earned throughout their hard work and dedication to this program,” Harr wrote in an email. “ I can honestly...

  • The focus should be on athletes' skills, not their skirts

    SHANNEN TALBOT, Staff Reporter|Updated Sep 6, 2018

    In a recent interview with Tennis magazine, the president of the French Tennis Federation Bernard Giudicelli moved away from mere athletics and instead discussed a matter of fashion, stating that a new dress code will be implemented in the French Open because “sometimes we’ve gone too far.” Specifically addressing the attire of female competitor and world-renowned athlete Serena Williams, who wore a catsuit designed to prevent blood clots, Giudicelli said “The combination of Serena this year, for example, it will no longer...

  • EWU, NAU clash in early showdown

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Sep 6, 2018

    Two of the teams that preseason pollsters think will vie for the Big Sky Conference football title will meet this Saturday, just two weeks into the season. Because of scheduling in the expansive Big Sky Conference, however, this game between Eastern Washington University and Northern Arizona at the Walkup Skydome in Flagstaff is considered nonconference. But while the game has no bearing on league standings, it could easily play a big part in possible playoff pairings come...

  • Medical Lake drops football opener to St. Maries

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Sep 6, 2018

    If there were pluses that could be extracted out of Medical Lake's 42-20 opening week football loss to the St. Maries, Idaho Lumberjacks in a game played at Holliday Field, consider these. The Cardinals put up the most points in any one game since their 2016 opener - a 29-24 loss to Kellogg - and they outscored a very solid Lumberjack team in the second half to do so. Now it's a matter of improving the start where, after holding the visitors to one first down in their initial...

  • Ending the wrong kind of streak

    John McCallum, Managing Editor|Updated Sep 6, 2018

    That didn’t take long. Led by two touchdown passes from quarterback Alex Long and the stout defense of linebacker Jacob McGourin, the Cheney Blackhawks football team put an end to their 12-game losing streak with a 27-22 win over visiting Colville last Friday in their season opener at Tom Oswald Field. Cheney head coach Bobby Byrd gave credit for the victory to good leadership skills on the part of his seniors, who kept calm after Blackhawk miscues, and some juniors and sophomores who absorbed the lessons delivered by the u...
