The ever-improving fortunes of Medical Lake wrestling took another step forward by claiming their first dual-meet victory of the season Jan. 28 with a Northeast A League win at Riverside 39-25. The Cardinals got wins via pins at both 106 pounds where freshman Weston Thomas continued his impressive season scoring a 29-second pin over his Rams’ opponent.

The Medical Lake girl's basketball team split their Northeast A League games last week and as result still hold the keys to any postseason plans in their hands. The Cardinals (4-7 NEA, 5-12 overall) edged Deer Park 31-27 and fell to Colville 46-33, the latter contest largely decided in the first quarter where ML was outscored 17-2. That leaves the Cardinals in a tight battle that could see them finish anywhere from third to eighth and out the playoffs. "We control our own...

The Cheney High girls' basketball team dropped three league games last week, including a close contest with West Valley that would have all but wrapped up a No. 3 seed and home game in the upcoming Great Northern League playoffs. The Lady Blackhawks had difficulty finding scoring opportunities, much less getting the few they had to drop, in losses to Clarkston, 46-19, Jan. 26 and league-leader East Valley, 71-27, Jan. 28. In the home regular-season finale – Senior Night – Jan...

We know them by the number on the back of the jersey or by their exploits on the field. But for the most part we never get to really know football players when they are safely encased in a helmet and protected by bulky pads. Unless that is as was the case last Saturday night at the Eastern Washington University football team’s annual awards banquet. That was a time when some of the layers were peeled back.Most revealing were the stories that few knew, but if they were in t...
That big, hulking black shape Cheney residents saw leaping down the highway and out of town Saturday night was the monkey that had been on the backs of the high school boys basketball team all regular season long. The Blackhawks scrapped their way to a four-point halftime lead on Senior Night last Saturday at home against West Valley, and found a way to make that stand for a 48-43 Great Northern League win, earning their first league win of the season and snapping a 10-game lo...
With one of their leading scorers spending a lot of time on the bench battling an injury, the Medical Lake boy's basketball team needed the bench to step up last week. It did and the Cardinals came through in their Northeast A League games with a pair of victories and thus remained in the hunt for not only a high seed in the playoffs, but even an outside shot at the regular season title. The Cardinals used a big fourth quarter and had four players in double figures in defeatin...
