MEDICAL LAKE – The Cardinal girls soccer team concludes what will likely be more of a forgettable than memorable season Oct. 19 at home vs. Lakeside (Nine Mile Falls) for Senior Day. The game takes place under the lights of Holliday Field at 6 p.m. It is an understatement to say this has been a long season for the winless (0-16) Cardinals, but for large parts of the season that have played entire matches shorthand. “We have had a few games with 11 to start,” head coach Dan C...

6 a.m. October 1st, 2023. The early morning autumn light gently filtered through my eyelids, waking me slowly, easing my foggy brain into another day’s existence. A languorous stretch produced the effect I hoped for- a furry headbutt to my shoulder as Tika rolled into my side. This was the magic hour; sleep slowly leaving my head, dawn lifting the veil of dreams and a rather insistent pup vying for my half-awake attention. I love this moment between worlds when nothing is required of me yet, just pet the dog and try to d...
