  • Turning back the golf clock by playing with hickory shafts

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 18, 2018

    One does not see today's skiers dusting off the old wooden slats. The ones that were physically attached to the feet with tough leather straps on boots tightly laced to the feet. They were a broken ankle or leg waiting to happen on ungroomed ski slopes, let alone serious head injury from flailing helicopter blades after a fall. But some golfers are hearkening back to the good old days when hickory shafted clubs with funny names - not numbers - filled a bag that was slung over...

  • Eagles take break after Weber loss

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 18, 2018

    With a disappointing 14-6 loss to Weber State in their rearview mirror, a bye could not come at a better time for the Eastern Washington University Eagles football team. Bruised bodies and egos deserve some time away from football, head coach Aaron Best said on the Oct. 15 EWU Coaches Show. “This is a fabulous time (for a bye) after seven straight weeks of football,” Best said. It’s a period in which Best wants both players and coaches to get away from football and recon...

  • Medical Lake volleyball remains a longshot for NEA postseason

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 18, 2018

    Needing a win to close on a playoff berth, the Medical Lake High School volleyball team got it. Ending a five-match losing streak, the Cardinals earned a nail-biting 3-2 match win over Newport on Oct. 9 to begin a pivotal week of Northeast A League play that ended with a split as they lost a 3-2 decision to Riverside. The week concluded with a 3-1 nonleague win over Greater Spokane League Rogers. “This was a week of battles for the girls,” head coach Todd Harr wrote in an ema...

  • Riverside edges Medical Lake 14-7 in NEA play

    Updated Oct 18, 2018

    The Medical Lake football team had their Homecoming/Hall of Fame game marked on the calendar months ago as one they needed to have in the win column to make the first season under new head coach Jeremy Bahr have special meaning. Maybe there would even be a postseason berth? It was, they felt, a very winnable game, but for a variety of reasons, this Northeast A League game slipped away as the Cardinals fell 14-7 last Friday at Holliday Field. Plans made that long ago cannot...

  • Cheney loses top spot with loss to East Valley

    SHANNEN TALBOT, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 18, 2018

    Cheney's varsity soccer team will have to give up the number one spot in the league following a disappointing 3-1 loss to East Valley in a Great Northern League match on Oct. 11, but still managed to defeat Pullman 1-0 thanks to a deflected own goal. The Lady Blackhawks (8-6, 6-4) just couldn't keep up with East Valley's physical offense, spending much of the game trying to equalize following a goal by the Lady Knight's Taylor Richardson in the eighth minute. Cheney junior...

  • Medical Lake runners know what lies ahead Medical Lake runners know what job lies ahead

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 18, 2018

    Medical Lake cross country now knows who to have in their sights next week at the District 7 championships in Chewelah. For the boys, the defending 1A state champions, it will be both Lakeside and Riverside after the Rams edged the Cardinals 23-26 last Wednesday at Deer Park. The boys did come away with a 23-33 victory over the host Stags in a Northeast A League meet on Oct. 10. And the girls, well they will be watching and making sure they are at their best to compete with...

  • Trickery hands Blackhawks first gridiron defeat

    John McCallum, Managing Editor|Updated Oct 18, 2018

    A trick play was what it took to send the Cheney High football team to its first loss of the 2018 campaign. With 30 seconds to play, Clarkston quarterback Kaden Frazier hit wide receiver Austin Armstrong with a bubble-screen, and Armstrong then turned and found a streaking Tru Allen on a 60-yard touchdown play to send the Bantams to a 28-21 Great Northern League win over the visiting Blackhawks. The setback stopped Cheney’s season-opening win streak at six games. The Blackhawks were also hamstrung a bit by Clarkston’s def...
