So just when did the running game last out gain the passing arms at Eastern Washington? We'd love to know too. No matter how the offense operates, as long as it leads to a win, like it did Oct. 14 at Roos Field in the Eagles 31-19 Big Sky Conference football win over Montana State, there are no complaints. Eastern's runners, like Sam McPherson (20) who is featured here in a sequence scoring, and Antoine Custer, who had a career rushing day with 147 net yards and a pair of... Full story

A perfect season at home in Big Sky Conference play got a proper ending for the Eastern Washington University women’s soccer team.

The Cheney Blackhawks fell to the undefeated West Valley Eagles 41-7 on Friday, Oct. 13. With this loss, CHS falls to 0-7 overall and 0-3 in the Great Northern League. “Aside from starting slow, we drove the field at times and looked good,” head coach Bobby Byrd said. “Letting them score that much didn’t put us in a position to be successful, but we only held them to seven points in the second half.” The Eagles were able to get on the board a couple times in the first quarter as Collin Sather ran for a nine-yard touchdown...
Since wins have not worked as a measuring stick for Medical Lake volleyball this season, head coach Todd Harr has been searching for alternative ways to indicate progress. In a pair of 3-0 losses to Colville (8-4 NEA, 8-4 overall) on Oct. 10 and Deer Park (5-6, 5-6) Oct. 12, Harr continues to spy things that only a coach might, such as certain statistical categories. He pointed to an earlier loss to Colville where his team scored 34 points in three sets. This time out in...
The winless streak continued, but the Medical Lake Cardinals did end with double-digit scoring for the first time this season in a 52-14 Northeast A League football loss at Deer Park, Friday, Oct. 13. The Stags (2-3, 4-3) built a 32-0 lead, in part on the effort of a pair of touchdowns from Trayton Bird, before Carter Pivonca raced 70 yards for a touchdown with 3 minutes to play in the second quarter. Deer Park would connect on Chase Wisinger’s second receiving touchdown of t...
One spectacular finish did not lead to another last week for the Medical Lake girl’s soccer team, which earned a split in a pair of Northeast A League contests. Getting a late goal from Nicole Wetherell on Oct. 10, the Cardinals earned a 2-1 win on the road over Colville. But the team saw a 2-2 tie lost in the game’s final 20 minutes Oct. 12 as Deer Park collected a 6-2 victory contest at home. The split tossed Medical Lake (6-4 NEA, 7-6 overall) into fourth place in the lea...
Despite a pair of losses last week, the Cheney High School volleyball team still has its destiny in its own hands when it comes to positioning for the upcoming District 7 playoffs. The Lady Blackhawks experienced a brief bump in the road with back-to-back home losses, Tuesday’s surprising 3-1 setback against East Valley and Thursday 3-0 to league-leader Pullman. Cheney rebounded, however, earning a 3-1 win on the road Saturday at Clarkston. Cheney won the first set 25-19 against the visiting third-place Knights before d...

Last year was the first time I have ever watched more than one round of the NFL draft because I was waiting to hear Cooper Kupp’s name called. In the third round at the 69th pick overall, it finally happened when the Los Angeles Rams decided to make a wise choice and choose the superstar wide receiver out of Eastern Washington University. In Kupp’s NFL debut in preseason, he scored the Ram’s first touchdown and scored another touchdown in the following game against the Oakland Raiders. He didn’t stop in preseason either...
Eastern Washington’s five-game football winning streak and 12-game Big Sky Conference run is on the line Saturday at Eccles Coliseum against Southern Utah in Cedar City. The Thunderbirds (2-1 Big Sky, 4-2 overall) provide all kinds of variables that the Eagles will have to prepare for, the easiest to determine, on paper at least, being perhaps, their very balanced offensive side of the ball plus big, stout offensive and defensive lines. SUU and Eastern, currently No. 8 in a p...
A good summation of the Cheney High School cross country teams Great Northern League showdown with visiting West Valley could come down to the line from the 1960s TV program “Get Smart.” “Missed it by that much,” the Maxwell Smart character would say, holding his thumb and index finger close together. Both Blackhawks boys and girls teams battled their Eagles counterparts wire to wire, losing by identical 26-29 scores. In the final evaluation, a shifting of places anywhere in the top five runners would have led to a reversa...
The final major hurdle to the Medical Lake boy's cross country team racing to a regular season Northeast A League championship turned out to be more like a curb. The Cardinals finished with six runners among the top eight and Medical Lake cruised past host Lakeside 18-41 and Chewelah, 18-85 on Oct. 11. Medical Lake's girls, who had won a pair of dual meets over Deer Park and Riverside, learned where the power of the NEA had shifted with a decisive 18-39 loss to Lakeside....

“I am over the passivity of good men. Where the hell are you? You live with us, make love with us, father us, befriend us, brother us, get nurtured and mothered and eternally supported by us, so why aren’t you standing with us?” — Eve Ensler Forget Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Bill O’Reilly and Roger Ailes.
