Head coach Bobby Byrd described the game as a “great defensive battle” between the co-defending league champions on rainy night. “I’m proud of the way our defense played,” Byrd said. “Holding a team like Clarkston to 10 points (is not easy) and it really was two big plays that helped them.” After a scoreless first quarter, quarterback A.J. Davis got the Bantams on the scoreboard in the second frame...
Cheney High girls’ soccer coach Nels Radtke predicted that the Oct. 3 Great Northern League rematch between his team and West Valley would be different than the first encounter (Sept. 15) where they shutout the Eagles, 3-0 — and he was right. The Lady Blackhawks lost to West Valley at home, 3-2. “We just didn’t show up to play that day,” Radtke said. “From the start, we weren’t really in it. But I told the girls ‘it’s better to have this type of game in the regular season than in the playoffs when it counts.’ Hopefull...

I always take that as a good sign.” Prior to its implementation, curbside recycling had been discussed by Mayor John Higgins and Ross. Community reception to the program was lukewarm at first. Most of the complaints focused on the size of the 4-foot, 96 ga...

Parents, who live in Medical Lake and had to work in the morning, were concerned because there was no place for their children to go at the time. This year...
