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.

Dylan Ledbetter's finger popped the filling balloon of Nicholls State last Saturday and the air gushed out of the Colonels. With his team trailing 14-3 and hoping not to be further behind as the first half came to a close, Ledbetter got his hand -perhaps just a finger - on an attempted 37-yard field goal by Lorran Fonseca. Whatever, it was just enough to send the ball caroming onto the red turf where it was first bobbled by Nzuzi Webster and finally scooped up by Kedrick... Full story

For a team that lost their top two scorers from a year ago, it certainly did not show for the Medical Lake girls basketball team. The Cardinals raced by the 2B Liberty Lancers 47-34 at home on Friday, Nov. 30, and then traveled to Okanogan the following afternoon where they crushed the Caribou Trail 1A Bulldogs 63-30....

Speed got the better of size, and nothing seemed to make up for "bus legs" for the Medical Lake boys who earned a split in their opening weekend of nonleague basketball play. The Cardinals opened play at home Friday, Nov. 30, earning a 73-65 win over the perennial 2B powers, Liberty Lancers. Saturday was a 150-mile one-way bumpy bus ride to face Okanogan, losing to the 1A Bulldogs from the Caribou Trail league, 76-68.... Full story
Medical Lake Fire Chief Jason Mayfield is not at all bashful about saying he can lose sleep over the service his volunteer department offers citizens. Perhaps Mayfield will be able to rest easier in the years to come if some type of deal is crafted with Spokane County Fire District No. 3 to take over coverage for the city. Mayfield, who himself works full-time for American Medical Response, monitors calls, "Every day, every day." He provides a report every month to the Medical...

The Cardinals raced by the 2B Liberty Lancers 47-34 at home on Friday, Nov. 30, and then traveled to Okanogan the following afternoon where they crushed the Caribou Trail 1A Bulldogs 63-30. Medical Lake not only lost senior and second leading scorer Makayla Geiger to graduation but Jayda Nobel, now a junior, transferred to Mt. Spokane from the 23-1...
Know who the first U.S.-based team was to win hockey’s coveted Stanley Cup? New York, Boston, Chicago or Detroit? Nope! The Seattle Metropolitans captured the “Cup” over 100 years ago at the culmination of the 1916-17 season, defeating the Montreal Canadiens 3 games to 1 in a series played entirely in Seattle. And two years later the “Mets” hosted Cup play again, only to have the worldwide flu pandemic cancel play. The National Hockey League board of governors met on Dec. 4...
Used to be that the Football Championship Subdivision playoff committee sent all kinds of teams to Cheney that you had to Google to know where they were from. Southeast Missouri, Wagner and Jacksonville State come to mind. Now, in an effort to cut costs, they bracket as many teams as possible by geography. Thus, next up for Eastern Washington in the quarterfinals is UC Davis who wound up in a three-way tie for the 2018 Big Sky title. “We won’t take anything for granted and...

Crews from Northwest Fence work on the finishing touches of a new barrier to further secure the rear of Medical Lake High School and some of the annexes. The project completes upgrades in school building security funded through a bond passed by voters last November....
Engaging both students and parents come school conference time is making a decidedly positive impact in the Medical Lake School District if the most recent editions are an indicator. That’s what the school board learned at its Nov. 27 meeting. After the numbers were crunched, the participation rate was most pleasing to district officials with the high school and Hallett Elementary leading the way at 92 percent attendance. Michael Anderson Elementary at Fairchild Air Force B...
Medical Lake School District recently got all caught up with an important part of its funding with the receipt of the last payment of Federal Impact Aid. The money, about $1.7 million, comes in dribs and drabs and apparently in no dependable schedule. It makes up about 6 percent of the district’s budget of approximately $26 million. According to the official source, Impact Aid is designed to assist local school districts that have lost property tax revenue. This can be due t...
At their final practice before the Thanksgiving break on Nov. 21, members of the Eastern Washington football team participated in what was called the Turkey Bowl. Offensive line coach Jase Butorac decided to do the same wind-sprints he put his players like Brad Godwin through and found out who was in maybe better shape....
Eastern Washington meets a team they have only played one time in school history and which travels from the Gulf Coast of Louisiana in the first round of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. The Nicholls State Colonels from Thibodaux, La., and the Southland Conference, advanced to the second round of play and a 2:05 p.m. kickoff at Roos Field following their 49-30 win on Nov. 24 over the University of San Diego, who plays in the Pioneer League. Nicholls defeate...
Borrowing a page from Hollywood and the holiday movie “The Grinch,” Medical Lake will turn its downtown into “Whoville” on Saturday, Dec. 8 for the second annual Re*Imagine Christmas Winter Festival. The event has numerous activities for all ages, for those who just want to wander or get active. Kids’ activities include Santa’s Workshop which runs from 3 – 7 p.m. with free-for-kids activities and take home treasures that include building wooden sleds with Santa. They may also...
Maybe it was the tug-o-war and preparation for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Or, perhaps, the fact that the front door of City Hall remained inadvertently locked? Or it could be that having had the opportunity Nov. 6 for input on the city’s expectation to spend $3.394 million in 2019, compared to $3.255 million in 2018 — approximately a $140,000 increase in the new budget — there were no further concerns. Whatever the reason, the council chambers were noticeably absen...
It was the perfect ignition point for discussion on the devastating, and oddly titled, Camp Fire that torched the ironically named community of Paradise, Calif. On Halloween, just days before the Nov. 8 start of the fire that killed scores and leveled much of the community of some 17,000 in the Sierra Nevada foothills, there came another in a long line of scary reports of pending doom from man-made climate change. Published in the journal “Nature” and widely distributed to...
Ground was recently broken on a new business in Cheney’s Commerce and Industrial Park. JC Steel Targets is a Cheney-business relocating and expanding into a 5,000 square foot facility in the complex located in south Cheney. Pictured above at the Nov. 14 groundbreaking are, left to right, Councilwoman Jill Weiszmann, Mayor Chris Grover, Devon Vibbert, JC Steel Targets owner Jake Vibbert, City Administrator Mark Schuller and Public Works Director Todd Ableman...
Many people find it surprising that Cheney has an ice rink in the first place. It’s one of just four sheets of ice — Spokane’s ice ribbon not included — in an area between here and Coeur d’Alene. And it is all thanks to the students of Eastern Washington University who are paying for it with their investment in the University Recreation Center, which opened 10 years ago. But that community is likely to get more notoriety for its ice sheet in the coming months and years, fo...
