If you can offer financial help, have the ability to provide reduced - or free - airfare or are a pilot with a plane large enough to hold at least seven people, Cheney Parks and Recreation Special Olympics coach Brenda Devine would like to hear from you. The Cheney portion of Eastern Washington's contingent to the state Special Olympics team is hoping to get to Seattle on Thursday, Jan. 11, to take part in a gear fitting and public ceremonies kick-off to this summer's 50th...
Since reaching the .500 mark with a Dec. 15 victory at East Valley, the Cheney High boys basketball team has found the win column elusive in its last three games. The Blackhawks wrapped up 2017 with a 70-44 loss at home to Greater Spokane League Mt. Spokane. The GSL’s 3A classification leaders (3-1, 8-2 overall) hit nine 3-pointers in the game, four by high-scorer Jerry Twenge and three by JT Smith, opening a 35-19 halftime lead and never looking back. Nicholas Berman led Cheney with 12 points, with Devin Cook adding 11 a...

After playing 12 of their first 15 games on the road, the home stand for Eastern continues with a 2:05 p.m. contest against Sacramento State and finishes Jan. 12 with...
The Cheney High girls basketball team just missed a perfect 3-0 finish in last week’s Eagle Holiday Classic at West Valley High School. The Lady Blackhawks knocked off Rogers and Lake Roosevelt, but came up just short of upsetting Idaho 4A Sandpoint in non-league action. Cheney’s Maggie Smith enjoyed an offensive breakout during the three-day tournament, averaging 17.66 points per game. The Lady Blackhawks were also buoyed by the return of junior forward Haley Pemberton, who at 5-foot-11-inches was projected as a starter unt...

The Cheney High School wrestling team didn’t waste any time getting back in the rhythm of competition as the Blackhawks placed sixth out of 16 teams competing at the Freeman Winter Classic on Dec. 30. “The Freeman tournament was a great test to see where we are at,” head coach Brad Rasmussen said. “We had been practicing a lot and it was just a fun way to end the break.” One of the highlights from the tournament was Boedy Taylor (182) and Zack Nguyen (138) placing second. “Boedy had just returned after three weeks of be...

The Eastern Washington University women's soccer team made history all over the board during the 2017 season. Eastern earned a bid into the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row after its second straight Big Sky Championship. Eastern was seeded No. 14 heading into the NCAA Tournament and played No. 3 Southern California for the second-straight year. Chloe Williams scored in the sixth minute to put EWU in the lead, but ended up falling 2-1 in double overtime against the...
It is a good thing Medical Lake's boy's cross country team runs better than they cut hair. One of the Cardinals rewards for winning a third 1A state championship, which they did in dominant fashion Nov. 4 in Pasco, was to be able to apply the shears to head coach Gene Blankenship's lengthy mane of salt and pepper locks. And to add a welcome injury to Blankenship's pride came the kids' desire to make the veteran coach have hair that resembled that of the current president of...
