Medical Lake’s cross country team sought out new conquests last Saturday. And the Cardinals got what they wanted scoring an impressive victory at the 19th annual Wenatchee Invitational. The 1A Cardinals, who outscored 4A Wenatchee 47-54 to win the boys’ team title, were the defending boys’ champions at Clarkston’s Seaport Invite. “We defeated two good 4A teams and one 3A team,” head coach Gene Blankenship said. Hanford, a 2A school, was third (92 points) and local school, 3A...

The Cheney girls’ swim team is gaining some good experience on the road, and will participate in their first home meet this week at the Eastern Washington University pool. The team has performed in two contests thus far, the Ephrata Jamboree and a match against Ellensburg. The Ephrata meet didn’t affect Cheney’s rankings, and offered a chance for some of the novice swimmers to get some hands-on experience in a real competition setting. Cheney did take second in the 200 yard medley relay, with a time of 2:05.99, just a littl...
Medical Lake volleyball earned its first Northeast A League volleyball victory of the season last week with a 3-0 sweep of Chewelah.

Coupled with a 3-0 loss at Lakeside last Tuesday, Medical Lake is 1-3 in league play. “This win was a team effort,” head coach Amanda Higgins said. “All the girls played hard and the hard work paid off.” Medical...
For Cheney girls’ soccer head coach Nils Radtke, what’s in the past is just that – in the past. Over with, done, time to move on. The Lady Hawks got blitzed in a pair of losses last week, 5-0 in non-league action at 1A Lakeside and 7-0 at Great Northern League opponent East Valley. In both games Cheney fell behind early and fell behind big before the half, getting out shot by their opponents 29-6. “Those are over with and the good news is we’re still 2-1 in league,” Radtke said. “It’s a new week. It’s a great opportunity...
The Cheney boys captured first place and the girls third in the 2A/1A classification cross country races at Saturday’s Runner’s Soul Erik Anderson Invitational at Plantes Ferry State Park in Spokane Valley. The Blackhawks boys topped an all-Great Northern League top three, scoring 76 points to West Valley’s 86 and East Valley’s 97, while the girls finished with 84 points to place behind Northeast 1A’s Riverside’s 39 and meet champion Lakeside’s 28.

After splitting a pair of matches to open Big Sky play last week, the Eastern Washington women’s volleyball team welcomes the Montana schools to Reese Court for a pair of league showdowns this weekend. The Eagles square off with Montana State Thursday, Sept. 26, before taking on the Griz Saturday, Sept. 28. Both matches are set for 6 p.m. starts. Eastern (4-9, 1-1 Big Sky) experienced both ends of the emotional spectrum last week, earning a thrilling comeback win against visiting Sacramento State last Thursday, Sept. 19, befo...
The “Unfinished Business” T-shirts many Eastern Washington University football players wear had their inspiration from last December’s 45-42 semifinal playoff loss at Roos Field to Sam Houston State University. The loss to the Bearkats, despite the furious second-half rally from a 35-0 halftime deficit by scoring 42 points, stalled the Eagles’ quest for a return to Frisco, Texas where they won the 2010 FCS National championship. Hence the unfinished business theme. Redshir...
Cheney High School volleyball continues to lead the Great Northern League standings, sitting at 2-0 in league play and 3-1 overall. The team split its matches last week, winning a close one against East Valley and losing against Mt. Spokane. “We knew it was going to be a really tough match,” head coach Brianne Lowe said about the Mt. Spokane match. “They’re a big school and they have a lot of talent, so we knew we had to come in and be aggressive.” The first set of the match...
Smothering defense and an opportunistic offense propelled Cheney to a 27-9 win over Idaho 4A school Lakeland in the Blackhawks football home opener last Friday night at Tom Oswald Field. Quarterback Andrew Graham scored on a 1-yard run and hooked up with wide receiver Logan Clayden on a 16-yard TD pass as the Blackhawks built a 17-3 halftime lead and held on to go 3-0 for the second time in three years. “We stuck to our game plan to control the ball and control the line of s...
