  • Blackhawks' runners edged at Pullman

    John McCallum, Managing Editor|Updated Oct 24, 2019

    CHENEY – One thing is for certain when it comes to this Saturday's District 7 cross country meet at Mead - and that is it will be a dog fight. Evidence of this was on tap last Wednesday down in Pullman as both Cheney High School varsity squads lost to the host Greyhounds - barely. The Blackhawks boys fell 27-30 while the girls were edged 27-28, making for some interesting competition Saturday when one factors in Cheney and Pullman's narrow wins over West Valley earlier in t...

    Lee Hughes, Staff reporter|Updated Oct 24, 2019

    CHATTAROY — The Medical Lake Cardinal football squad took another beating on Friday, Oct. 18, this time by the Riverside Rams (3-2, 5-2) in a 61-14 road loss.

Medical Lake...

    Lee Hughes, Staff reporter|Updated Oct 24, 2019

    MEDICAL LAKE — The Cardinal soccer squad remains winless but not scoreless, managing to net their second goal of the season against Riverside, and on the road no less. Still, it wasn’t a victory in the 8-1 loss at the hands of the Rams (4-7, 4-8) on Thursday, Oct. 17. The previous Tuesday, Oct. 15, the Cardinal crew was unable to find the net in an 8-0 loss at home to Newport (2-8, 2-12).

    Lee Hughes, Staff reporter|Updated Oct 24, 2019

    MEDICAL LAKE — Head coach Todd Harr has been saying it all season long: they’re improving. On Tuesday, Oct. 15 the Medical Lake girls’ volleyball walked that talk when they beat the visiting Newport Grizzlies (2-7,4-8) 3-1 in four sets 25-21, 16-25, 25-22, 25-10 in their first Northeast A League victory of the season. ‘The win versus Newport definitely lifted a chip off the shoulder for this program,” Harr said. “Many of the younger players were able to play loose and live in...

  • Blackhawks humbled at Homecoming by Clarkston

    John McCallum, Managing Editor|Updated Oct 24, 2019

    CHENEY – This was not the Homecoming Cheney hoped for. Led by a running game that seemed to be moving downhill all night, the eighth-ranked Clarkston Bantams demonstrated last Friday why they are in a position to make a deep run in the upcoming 2A playoffs, using the 1-2 punch of running backs Eddie Berglund and Will Sliger to open a 30-0 lead en route to a 36-13 pasting of the host Blackhawks. Berglund scored on runs of 13 and 23 yards while Sliger, who did the lion’s sha...

    Lee Hughes, Staff reporter|Updated Oct 24, 2019

    CHENEY — The Lady Blackhawks volleyball crew dropped two more matches in the past week against East Valley and Pullman as the regular season winds to a close. ”We really took a hit having both East Valley and Pullam in the same week,” head coach Heather Zorrozua said. “These are two teams that we can compete with and definitely can take charge of but struggle to control the rollercoaster that is momentum.” The Blackhawks took a loss against East Valley on Thursday, Oct. 17 o...
