    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 26, 2017

    Medical Lake volleyball wrapped up the 2017 season last week with a pair of 3-0 Northeast A League losses to Chewelah and Lakeside. “This was another close battle where the girls played an all around good match,” head coach Todd Harr wrote in an email about Chewelah (7-7 NEA, 8-7 overall), which won 25-16, 25-15 and 25-20 on Oct. 17. “Being Senior Night there was a lot of extra emotions in the building, but the team handled it well and still played at a high level,” he adde...

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 26, 2017

    The phenomenal soccer career at Medical Lake of Makayla Geiger came to a close last week, but the Cardinals are hoping to get some additional time for the record-setting forward in the postseason.

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 26, 2017

    It’s been the better part of two seasons since Medical Lake came as close at they did to victory. That came in the 2016 season-opener, a 29-24 loss at Kellogg. The Cardinals got close to letting head coach Mo Owen notch his first win with the team, but just not close enough in a 14-6 Northeast A League loss at Chewelah, Oct. 20. In the battle of the NEA’s two winless teams, Chewelah (1-5 NEA, 2-5 overall) got second quarter touchdowns 6 minutes, 41 second apart, the last one...

    John McCallum, Editor|Updated Oct 26, 2017

The senior turned in a personal record at three miles of 19 minutes, 00.50 seconds for first place, and thereby helping the Blackhawk girls to a second-place overall t...

  • Best's 'EKG's' look to rebound after first conference loss

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Oct 26, 2017

    Halloween’s house of horrors seems to open early for the Eastern Washington football team in their every-so-often visits to play Southern Utah University. The scary woods are not up the road at Idaho’s Silverwood theme park this time of year for the Eagles, but down amidst of the scrubby junipers and desert mountains of the curiously-named city of Cedar City. Not sure if there is a species of the town’s namesake tree anywhere within eyeball range. Eastern has now suffe...

  • Lady Blackhawks' begin visualizing postseason

    John McCallum, Editor|Updated Oct 26, 2017

    Cheney High volleyball head coach Heather Zorrozua understands that this year’s Lady Blackhawks are a more visual group than previous squads. It’s an element that has been helped recently by the schedule, which provided some extra practices last week with which to work on the players skills via the film room. “We’ve been focusing more on film, learning what we can be doing differently,” Zorrozua said. So far, the Lady Blackhawks have been doing a fair amount of winning, helping them stay in contention for a No. 2 seed to this...
