Eastern Washington University President, Dr. Mary Cullinan, was in proper garb prior to Saturday’s game....
Easton Stick stuck it to Eastern Washington in a big way last Saturday in Frisco, Texas. The senior quarterback scored three touchdowns — including the backbreaker in the final 1 minute, 16 seconds — and threw for two more as the North Dakota State Bison defeated the Eagles 38-24 to win a record seventh Football Championship Subdivision title in front of 17,802 at Toyota Stadium. Stick was his team’s leading rusher with 18 carries and 121 yards, plus 13 of 19 passing for 198 y...
The last time the Medical Lake girls lost two basketball games in a row was last March when the Cardinals saw their undefeated season end and dreams of a state championship evaporate at the Sun Dome in Yakima. That rarity occurred again last week at the Eagle Holiday Classic at West Valley High School where Medical Lake dropped a 61-55 matchup to powerful 2A opponent East Valley on Dec. 28. That was followed by a 65-35 humbling from Intermountain League leader Timberlake from...
Medical Lake’s boys basketball team was never able to fully recover from slow start in their final game of the Eagle Holiday Classic at West Valley High School falling to Greater Spokane League Rogers 66-56 Dec. 29. Two days earlier the start was strong, but the finish not in a 72-71 loss to Lake Roosevelt in the Cardinals opening game against the 2B Raiders from Grand Coulee, Wash. Medical Lake (2-1 Northeast A, 4-5 overall) watched as Rogers (3-8) sprinted to a 17-9 lead a...
Eastern Washington will take its second trip to Frisco, Texas and the Football Championship Subdivision championship game in nine seasons when they face North Dakota State Jan. 5. The Bison are not only defending FCS champions but are the only team besides EWU in 2010 and James Madison in 2016 to win titles since the game moved from Chattanooga, Tenn. following the 2009 contest. The Eagles' journey from being snubbed in the selection for the 2017 field to running -yes running...
Two of the most winning programs in Football Championship Subdivision knock helmets and pads Jan. 5 in Frisco, Texas for the 2018 title. In a battle of programs which have never lost in the title game, Eastern Washington faces defending champion North Dakota State on Saturday, Jan. 5 for the NCAA Division I Football Championship at sold out Toyota Stadium. Kickoff is at 9:04 a.m. in a game televised on ESPN2. The Bison have won 120 of 133 games since 2010 and all six times...
Arguably one of the worst-kept secrets in the local business world charged into the open on June 20. That’s when Amazon pulled the thinly-veiled curtain back on Project Rose, now officially known as the online giant’s latest fulfillment center which will be built along Interstate 90 and Geiger Blvd. A massive earth moving project has been in progress at the site for over a month for what will ultimately be a four-story, 2.5 million square-foot facility, initially targeted to...
The Medical Lake girls' magical basketball journey ended when they reached into their bag of tricks March 3 at the Sun Dome in Yakima and found it empty. Playing in their first state tournament championship round in nearly 30 years, the Cardinals fell to a familiar foe, La Salle, 65-61 in overtime, a loss that dropped them to fifth place in the 1A event. But it was a trophy none-the-less for Medical Lake, who in 1991 ended up fourth. "(I) wish it would have ended a little...
Saturdays in the fall have always centered around football. In the beginning it was listening on the radio and later on television. A semi-organized file cabinet drawer in my home office is stuffed with game programs that provide proof I have seen my share of games in person. There’s the 1968 program from the inaugural game of the Continental Football League Spokane Shockers. Another from a 1971 game at the University of Idaho reminded me of watching football in the stadium th...
Chaves leaves EWU for North Dakota post After just over a decade on the job as Eastern Washington athletics director, Bill Chaves left Cheney for the opening at the University of North Dakota. First announcing in early in January that he was a finalist for the position at the Grand Forks school, Chaves officially announced his move on Twitter, Jan. 13. "After a decade of memories that I will carry for a lifetime, I have been offered and accepted the UND AD's position," he...
In November 2017, Medical Lake voters elected a new mayor, Shirley Maike, who was charged with leading a largely new City Council into 2018. One new councilman, Tony Harbolt, overtook Don Kennedy for Council Position No. 4 in a wildly close election that required a hand re-count. Others claiming victory included John Merrick in Position 2, who ousted incumbent Elizabeth Rosenbeck, and Ted Olson in Position 5 who topped Gary Plumlee. Incumbents John Paikuli in Position 1 and...
The first two Maine Black Bear possessions were not a good sign in last Saturday's Football Championship Subdivision football semifinal playoff game at Roos Field. First, a 46-yard field goal attempt on Maine's opening drive fluttered to a halt short and wide left of the goalposts. Next came the first of two Josh Lewis interceptions, deep in Black Bear territory, that, one play later, resulted in an Eastern Washington touchdown. The visitors from 3,000 miles away, and...

Medical Lake got four consecutive critical victories starting with a pin from Nate Stevens in the 160-pound class to earn a dual-meet wrestling win over Freeman to open Northeast A League competition last Thursday, Dec. 13 at Freeman. Stevens’ pin, which took 3 minutes, 58 seconds, was followed by forfeit victories at 170 pounds from Brayden Petersen and Brent Keith at 182. Jaysen Bremmer ended the run with his pin in 1:32 at 195 pounds. Other Cardinal victories came from p...
The Medical Lake girls basketball team got off to a solid start in defense of its two previous Northeast A League regular season championships, earning a series of one-sided victories last week. Medical Lake raced past one of its chief challengers in the past, Lakeside, on Dec. 11 by a 65-22 count launching a 3-0 week on the road. They finished with wins over Colville 53-31 on Dec. 14 and Riverside, 58-22, on Dec. 15, both at home. Defense was the word of the week for the...

By admission, traditional math has never been my strong point I blame it all on the latest and greatest new-fangled educational notion from the 1960s —“New Math.” This, I swear, sent me spiraling into some calculational black hole. It made passing eighth-grade arithmetic stretch into summer school 1967 and freshman algebra do the same in 1968. And later, there came the need, and struggle of course, to pass a “math equivalency” exam in order to receive a teaching certifica...
(Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part examination of Lakeland Village’s College In-Resident Volunteer (CIRV) program which is slated for closure in 2019.) In the end, it appears that money will win the tug-o-war with emotion when it comes to Lakeland Village’s College In-Resident Volunteer (CIRV) program, which will close in spring 2019. The nearly 50-year-old program connects college student volunteers with Lakeland clients for a variety of events and activ...
Medical Lake’s boys basketball team plans to hang its success this season on the ability to use speed to counter size. But as they split their final nonleague games last week, conditioning and depth might be another foe that third-year head coach Noel Nachtel needs to take into consideration. Medical Lake (2-2) went on the road where they faced a pair of 2B schools, handily defeating Davenport 82-46 on Dec. 4, but losing 73-50 to St. George’s, Dec. 6. “St. Georges, in my opini...
It took until March 2 last season for the Medical Lake girls to suffer their first defeat. But after just the second week of the 2018-19 season, that is no longer an issue after the Cardinals split a pair of non-conference basketball games against 2B teams. In a pair of road games prior to the start of play this week in the Northeast A League, Medical Lake defeated Davenport 72-58 Dec. 4 before losing to St. George’s 45-30 on Dec. 6. “They were a good team and outplayed us,...
The University of Maine and Eastern Washington will meet for the first time as far as is known in an athletic event when the Eagles and Black Bears tangle Saturday at Roos Field in a Football Championship Subdivision playoff semifinal. The two schools are geographic opposites, one in the far Northeast and Eastern well into the Pacific Northwest. Located in Orono, just over 3,000 road miles east of Cheney on Interstate 90, and then north on I-95, the primary freeway that travel...
In a season marked by a handful of rallies on the way to an 11-2 record, Eastern Washington took last Saturday’s to another level. Trailing by a point with 1 minute, 13 seconds to play, the Eagles traveled 75 yards in just 47 seconds — the final 35 yards covered by Sam McPherson for the deciding touchdown with 26 seconds to play — scoring a 34-29 Football championship Subdivision quarterfinal playoff game win over the University of California-Davis at Roos Field. Easte...
These young Eastern Washington football fans were quite happy after Nsimba Webster scored to give the Eagles a 28-21 lead in last Saturday's Football Championship Subdivision playoff game against UC Davis with just over seven minutes to play. They were likely much happier when Sam McPherson's touchdown run with 26 seconds to play rallied the team to a 34-29 win and a berth on the FCS semifinals Saturday, 11 a.m. at Roos Field against the University of Maine...
