  • Road-weary Southern Utah visits Roos Saturday

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 5, 2018

    A favorite for the 2018 Big Sky Conference football championship and the defending co-champions meet Saturday at Roos Field as Eastern Washington and Southern Utah clash with a 12:10 p.m. kickoff. Last year in Cedar City, a second-half meltdown led to a 46-28 loss to the Thunderbirds, the first of what would be two consecutive losses to the Big Sky’s Utah teams. The following week, Eastern lost at home to Weber State 28-20 in what essentially proved to be a big reason why t...

  • Preparation now complete for Cardinal cross country

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 5, 2018

    Backed by a strong finish last Saturday amongst a stout field, the Medical Lake cross country teams now enter the part of the season where it begins really counting. As Northeast A League dual-meet competition began this week with Medical Lake hosting its lone home event on Oct. 3, the Cardinal boys returned from "The Rose City" with a Division 3 championship. The girls tied for fifth. A handful of invitational meets have head coach Gene Blankenship quite encouraged as his Car...

  • Medical Lake drops tough volleyball match

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 5, 2018

    Medical Lake High School’s volleyball team saw its losing streak extend to three following a 3-0 Northeast A League loss to Deer Park in their lone outing last week on Sept. 25. “This was a tough-played and hard-fought match,” head coach Todd Harr wrote in an email. “We battled throughout the night and came up just short in a couple of sets,” losing 25-18, 28-26 and 25-20. Megan Goertz had a solid night leading both teams in assists (15) while Tori John led in kills (3) again...

  • Lady Blackhawks face up and down battle in volleyball

    SHANNEN TALBOT, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 5, 2018

    The Lady Blackhawk’s volleyball team showed impressive hustle and skill in what head coach Heather Zorrozua called “a moral victory” in their Sept. 25 league match against East Valley, followed by a Sept. 27 loss to Pullman and a solid presentation in the Sheridan Classic last Saturday. The team lost to East Valley 3-2 but “performed phenomenally,” Zorrozua said. “Sometimes it’s hard to control all aspects of the game, but the girls were amazing and we learned a lot about what we’re capable of,” she said. “They set the bar...

  • Cheney flat against East Valley, rallies to top Pullman, Deer Park

    SHANNEN TALBOT, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 5, 2018

    The Lady Blackhawks soccer team struggled mightily with player absences last week, but still overcame a disappointing loss to East Valley to pull off two wins against Pullman and Deer Park in rapid succession. The team was missing four starters, including senior keeper Melissa Aris, due to illnesses and family emergencies. Plus, two players have been stuck on the bench in recent games — one because of a concussion and another while recovering from a knee injury. Head coach Nels Radtke pulled up three junior varsity players t...

  • Blackhawks runners have easy time in Clarkston at GNL meet

    Updated Oct 5, 2018

    By JOHN McCALLUM Managing Editor The Cheney High boys cross country team ran its Great Northern League record to 2-0 with a relatively easy 23-38 win last Wednesday at Clarkston, while the Blackhawk girls collected their first league win by essentially running against themselves. The Bantams fielded no runners in the girls race at Beachview Park. Marion Mager-Reeser led Cheney with a first-place finish of 23 minutes, 27.58 seconds, and was followed by Alexia Batchelor in 23:36.61, Mayah Spakousky in 23:37.94, Ryleigh Bowes...

  • Final drive against Freeman may be defining moment for Cardinals

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 5, 2018

    Earthquakes and glaciers tend to be agents of slow-moving change for the planet. Little, by little, over the course of centuries — eons perhaps — they make their mark. The same might also be said for landmark football victories. Like Medical Lake’s 16-14 win over Freeman last Friday. The victory was only Medical Lake’s fourth in their last 30 games, but the Cardinals’ second straight. Hopefully it signals some kind of positive trend? Certainly, one or two games does not mean...

  • Medical Lake ends long drought with Freeman

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 5, 2018

    Things certainly did not start well for Medical Lake in last Friday's Northeast A League home football game against Freeman. But they definitely finished the right way for the Cardinals (1-1 NEA, 2-3 overall) who took an edge-of-the-seat 16-14 Northeast A League win over the Scotties (0-3, 0-5). The victory was the first for Medical Lake over Freeman in eight games, but more notable, it was 1996 when the Cards last won in the series. That span includes 13 years when the...

  • Cheney shuts out Cascade for fifth straight win

    John McCallum, Managing Editor|Updated Oct 5, 2018

    It may have not been the most pretty of offensive efforts, but the Cheney High School football team found a way to put another "W" in the win column last Friday night. On an evening where Blackhawks' drives stalled out on fourth and long in visiting Cascade High School's territory, the defense pitched a shutout and the offense found a way to grind out a 20-0 win over the visiting Kodiaks at Tom Oswald Field. The victory runs Cheney's record to 5-0, their best start since...
