FOOTBALL:
U-Hi tops Cheney, 40-14
SPOKANE -- In a battle for the bottom of the Greater Spokane League football standings, the University Titans rolled over Cheney, 40-14, in a Sept. 22 afternoon game at U-Hi.
“Our offense was not consistent,” Coach Bobby Byrd said. “And turnovers led to our defense being on the field too much.”
Blackhawks’s quarterback Sam Coffin finished with a 14-for-24 with 119 yards, but threw four interceptions.
Kordell Laher led Cheney receivers with five catches for 47 yards in an offense that only had 155 total yards.
Camden Collins scored twice for Cheney, once on an 80-yard kickoff return and the other a 24-yard pass before half.
At 7 p.m. this Friday, Sept. 29, Cheney (0-4) hosts Lewis and Clark (1-3) on Tom Oswald Field.
