Congratulations to the Washington State Cougars on their upset Saturday of 25th-ranked Southern California. It must feel like a bowl win anytime the Cougs beat USC, especially having not done so since 2002. It didn’t take long after the final whistle blew for Wazzu fans to start flooding the social media environment with tweets, texts and posts of jubilation. And it didn’t take long for some of them to proclaim the win as one of the signs of the return of football power to the Pacific Northwest – sometimes referred to Washi...
Medical Lake ran right with some of the biggest schools in the region at last Saturday’s Coaster Classic cross country invitational at Silverwood Theme Park where the Cardinal boys finished third and girls 10th. “This was our best year ever at the Coaster Classic,” head coach Gene Blankenship said of his boys’ finish behind Idaho 5A school Capital (44 points) and 3A University (53) of the Spokane Valley and Greater Spokane League. The Cardinals (133) took 35 runners and all...
Cheney girls soccer head coach Nils Radtke said last Saturday’s friendly with the Greater Spokane League’s Rogers High School had some similarities with the 2012 Lady Hawks, and a huge difference. The similarities were Cheney’s propensity to give up quick early goals. “The huge difference was we battled back and were able to win,” Radtke said of the Lady Hawks 5-3 season-opening victory. Twice Cheney allowed Rogers to score in the opening minutes of each half, the first tim...
Medical Lake’s Eamma Davis (13) sets up a play against the home-standing Davenport Gorillas during a game last Saturday at the Davenport Tournament. It was the first competition for new Cardinals’ head coach Amanda Higgins. The Cardinals lost to Odessa/Harrington and later Davenport before winning their final two games against Lake Roosevelt and Bridgeport. “Our defense is really coming along nicely,” Higgins said. “They are really starting to read the ball and anticipat...
The Eastern Washington women’s volleyball team will face its toughest test yet this season in its final weekend of nonconference play. In advance of their Big Sky Conference, and home opening match Sept. 19 versus Sacramento State the Eagles hit the road for the final time taking on a group of California schools. That trip began with a match at San Jose State Wednesday, Sept. 11. After their stop in the Bay Area, Eastern will then spend its weekend in San Diego, Calif., playing three matches as part of the USD Tournament, t...
The Eastern Washington University men’s and women’s cross country teams will venture west to Seattle to compete at the 21st Annual Sundodger Invitational Saturday Sept. 14, hosted by the University of Washington . Head coach Chris Zeller expects Catie Arrigoni and Katie Lynch to each build off of promising season-opening races and Steven Kutsch and Quin Olivas have solid races following a good week of practice....
History did a good job of repeating itself last Friday night in Medical Lake in the Cardinals season-opening game with St. Maries. Medical Lake used a stout defensive effort in the second half and produced a fourth quarter rally to defeat the Idaho visitors 32-28 on a rainy night at Holliday Field. “That’s a typical Medical Lake, St. Maries opener,” Cardinals head coach Wes Hobbs said. The two teams have engaged in some down-to-the-wire classics since beginning their cross-bor...
This one really belonged to the defense. With the Eastern Washington University defense swarming all over a beleaguered Western Oregon quarterback, Ryan Bergman, and limiting he and the Wolves to a -23 yards in their first five possessions, the Eagles rolled to a 43-14 non-conference football win last Saturday in EWU’s home opener at Roos Field. On an unusual late summer afternoon where a steady light rain – and a decidedly one-sided game – sent most of the gathering of 6,349...
It’s a demanding schedule but nothing different than in the past for the Eastern Washington University women’s basketball team, which released its 2013-14 schedule, head coach Wendy Schuller announced Sept. 5. The Eagles will take on six squads that advanced to postseason play last year. Nonconference opponents Iowa State and Gonzaga made the NCAA Tournament last year while Butler earned a bid to the WNIT, respectively, and will provide a test for the Eagles. Montana was the Big Sky's representative to the NCAA Tou...
