Last time out at Reese Court, the Eastern Washington men’s basketball team got half the job done when it came to “protecting home court” as head coach Jim Hayford likes to say. Following a convincing 82-64 win over Montana State, the Eagles faded in a 65-59 loss to Montana that ruined their undefeated record at home. Now in their usual dogfight with nine other teams — all separated by one or two losses for eventual Big Sky Conference tournament seeding with a 3-2 league record — Eastern gets another chance. Starting tonight (...

The energy was intense in last week’s Golden Feather spirit game played before a packed house. But it may have been pale by comparison to what happened two nights earlier on the same Medical Lake gym floor, turned coaches’ chessboard. That’s where Medical Lake (6-1 NEA, 10-3 overall) scored a 61-60 Northeast A League win over Lakeside to begin a perfect week in league play that concluded with a 76-47 shelling of Colville. Between came a 65-56, nonleague loss in the Golde...

While the victory over the Lady...

The Cheney High School boys and girls basketball teams dropped a pair of close games to West Valley in the run up to last Thursday’s Golden Feather spirit game at Medical Lake. The Blackhawks fell 46-43 to the visiting Eagles while the Lady Blackhawks lost a similarly close contest, 43-39. Boys head coach Gregg Smith said it was not a well-played game from either team, which might have been looking past each other to their respective rivalry games. West Valley faced East Valley in their spirit game Friday night. Twice the B...

Cheney boys swimming head coach Jennifer Hochwalt was a little worried heading into last Thursday's home meet between the Blackhawks and visiting Selah Vikings and a co-op team from East Valley-Yakima. Hochwalt's high school boys team hadn't swam competitively since Dec. 3 - ironically a five-team meet in Yakima that included, Selah, Grandview, Prosser and East Valley-Yakima. The Blackhawks swam to wins over all four schools, and Hochwalt wasn't sure if the layoff - due to...
It’s been almost two years since Floyd Mayweather Jr. retired from boxing. Since then, there has been speculation that he would return to fight if the right bout and offer came along — including a rematch with rival Manny Pacquiao. It appears there could a fight that could bring Mayweather back in the ring as a fighter, but it’s not against any of today’s boxing greats. Actually, it’s a fighter who has never competed in a professional boxing match. For the last several months, Mayweather has been verbally sparring with curr...
The Cheney High wrestling team continued to roll through Great Northern League competition with a 37-33 win over West Valley, Jan. 12. “We knew we were going to be in a battle,” head coach Brad Rasmussen said. “Before the match, we (also) knew we had to have a full team effort from top to bottom.” Josh Baker, who moved up from 220 pounds to 285, got things going for his team after he pinned Spencer Spittler in the second round. After the Blackhawks forfeited the 106 match, Jeremy Blom (113) pinned Kegan Ritcher in the third r...
