CHENEY-The Blackhawks turned in outstanding performances at the 3A and 4A District Qualifying Championships at Central Valley High School on May 11 and 15. Cheney competed against athletes from 10 GSL schools and came out shinning as bright as a new penny setting several personal bests along the way. Anyone witnessing to the event would be hard pressed to point-out which athlete was most impressive. But the boys 3200m got the entire team and coaching staff excited with Calvin...
CHENEY—The fourth Quad-Duel GSL track meet held at University High on Thursday, May 5 didn’t produce as many favorable results of the previous three. That’s due in part to Head Coach Derek Slaughter and his staff deciding to use several of their higher scoring athletes in different roles. Switching things up enabled the coaches to enter several JV or other varsity members who hadn’t had the opportunity to participate in the other meets. Some of the changes for the boys included having Braxton Hinton, the Blackhawks top spr...

CHENEY—When Cheney head track coach Derek Slaughter began his day Friday morning, he thought the Van Kuren Invitational on Saturday was doomed after arriving at school to see at least three inches of snow on the track and temperatures hovering around 30 degrees. There were 41 schools planning to participate in the popular meet, coming from as far away as Yakima. Looking at the condition of the field, Slaughter’s first thought was canceling all field events. Marking the thr...
SPOKANE- Tayshawn Colvin scored a game-high 28 points and the Liberty-Spangle Lancers got past the Brewster Bears, 64–55, at the Spokane Arena on Saturday, March 5, to claim the school's second state championship. Liberty beat Bi-County League rival Reardan, 61–44 in 1986. The Lancers are a ragged group that often played like the tough football players. They reluctantly give up easy scores, and such was the case in this game as Brewster had to move the ball well to get the...
