The numbers on paper favor visiting Weber State when they travel to Cheney to meet Eastern Washington Saturday at Roos Field for the 91st edition of Homecoming at the school. But the record on “The Red” always promises to be an equalizer. The Football Championship Subdivision’s No. 11-ranked Eagles are now 43-9 overall, having lost just five regular season games at “The Inferno” sporting a 33-5 record. Eastern is 54-33-3 in its previous 90 Homecoming contests, and last year...
The Medical Lake football program and its second-year head coach Mo Owen remain in search of their first victory in two seasons following the Cardinals 42-8 loss to Lakeside last Friday. Fast-starting Lakeside (4-3 Northeast A, 5-3 overall) got four touchdown passes from quarterback Kasen Hunsacker, three of those in the first half, as the Eagles built a 28-0 halftime lead. The Eagles' Keaton Nowak scored three times, twice on runs and one on a TD pass from Hunsacker. The...
Playing what head coach Zane Higgins called, “Our two most consistent games,” Medical Lake advanced in the District 7 soccer postseason. The Cardinals (9-8) got the performance it expects from Makayla Geiger who scored all three goals in a 3-0 victory over Colville Oct. 24 that propelled them into the double-elimination round where they opened at Lakeside, losing a disappointing 1-0 match Oct. 26 in a shootout. Medical Lake faces Freeman at 5:30 p.m. today at Spokane Fal...

The Cheney High School girls swimming team appears to peaking at the right time — in the postseason. The Blackhawks turned in some of their best times of the season last Friday and Saturday at district competition in Moses Lake, finishing third overall in the team standings behind Ellensburg and district champion Pullman. In the process, Cheney will be sending two individuals and two relay teams to the 2A state meet Nov. 10-11 at the Federal Way Aquatics Center. Courtney Hanson and Isabell Williams both qualified for state in...
All it took was one win for the Cheney High volleyball team to punch its ticket to regional play this Saturday against the Central Washington Athletic Conference. The Lady Blackhawks got that, albeit not as easily as hoped, at the District 7 tournament last Saturday at Great Northern League champion Pullman High School. Cheney had to grind its way to a four-set win over fourth-seeded Clarkston, taking the first two 30-28 and 25-23 before the Bantams made things interesting with a 26-24 win in set three. The Lady Blackhawks re...
I’ve got to give a shout-out to the Cheney High School girls swimming team. In fact, a shout-out to Blackhawk swimmers of both genders through the years. I hope this doesn’t come out wrong, but if it does, don’t shoot me. Cheney’s swimming program has been somewhat of the odd-man (woman) out at times. It doesn’t have the prominence of sports more popular among the average fan, nor does it always benefit from club competition ingrained into other athletics such as soccer or volleyball. In fact, high school competiti...
Hoping to play more soccer in November, the Cheney High girls soccer team found its season ending in October - and for the second year in a row by the same opponent. Madeline Liberg gave the West Valley Eagles all they would need with a goal in the first half last Thursday on the Lady Blackhawks' pitch. Cheney goalkeeper Melissa Aris made an initial sliding stop of Liberg's breakaway shot in the 33rd minute, but couldn't hang on and the ball bounced slowly into the net giving...
The Cheney High girls cross country team’s train keeps rolling — with a final stop this coming Saturday at state 2A competition in Pasco at Sun Willows Golf Course. The Blackhawks posted some of their best three-mile times to hold off Great Northern League and District 7 champion West Valley and finish second in regional action with Central Washington Athletic Conference teams at Apple Ridge Golf Course in Cowiche. The top-four teams qualified for Saturday’s meet in Pasco. All five Cheney scoring runners turned in perso...
There are no bold predictions from head coach Gene Blankenship on chances the Medical Lake boy's cross country team will add a third state championship to the school's trophy case this Saturday. Instead, Blankenship is traveling the safe path saying, "It's going to be between us, Meridian or Northwest," at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco for the 1A title. Meridian High is from Bellingham and Northwest is a private school near Seattle. The girls race starts at 10:30 a.m. with...

Seventy-five years ago, on October 15 1942, the Tilicum Club sponsored the teachers’ reception for 160 Cheney teachers and guests in the social room of the laboratory school in Martin Hall. The event had an American Indian theme with baskets, pottery and shawls. Ball and Dodd Funeral Home of Spokane provided a film “Echoes of the Past” depicting Indian homes, ceremonies and scenes on the upper Columbia river prior to the building of Grand Coulee Dam.

1 Years Ago Nov. 1, 2007 For the first time in seven years and 21 consecutive quarters, Eastern Washington University’s enrollment numbers were down from the previous year. The university’s fall enrollment totaled 9,841 students, a decrease of 164 from the all time high of 10,005 set in 2006. The Medical Lake Planning Commission unanimously voted against the Fox Hollow subdivision rezone. Cheney residents no longer had to trek all the way to Spokane to find flooring and carpeting because Vern and Beth Chapman reopened Cheney...
The Cheney Future Farmers of America held its annual alumni fundraising dinner and auction Saturday, Oct. 21. Typically staged at the Cheney Rodeo Grounds event pavilion, it has grown so much that this year's event took place at the Shriner's Event Center on Westbow Boulevard near the Geiger exit off Interstate 90. Fundraiser organizer Terri Marlin said after expenses, the event brought in approximately $10,000 for FFA. Next year's event is already scheduled for Oct. 6, so...
