Mistakes and inability to make baskets in key moments of a game led to two losses last week for the Cheney High boys' basketball team.

The win, Eastern’s first this year on the road, salvaged a split in the Eagles’ eastern road trip following their 82-60 loss Thursday at North Dakota, in Grand F...

The Eastern Washington men's basketball team came dangerously close to shooting themselves in both feet when it came to their Big Sky Conference playoff future this past weekend. But sophomore Tyler Harvey came to the rescue - again. Harvey, who scored just seven points in a 73-61 loss last Thursday to the University of North Dakota – a game where he shot just 3-of-18 from the field and 1-of-8 from 3-point range – turned it on, and around Saturday in the Eagles' 94-90 ove...
Being a fan of a football team that didn’t make it to the Super Bowl can be a bit of a letdown, especially if you’re like me and had to witness your beloved Minnesota Vikings finish the season with a record of 5-10-1. But even a disappointing Vikings season didn’t stop me from being filled with the “Seahawk Spirit” this past Sunday. As I ventured out to run some errands, I noticed the many Seahawks faithful out, wearing their blue and green apparel as they grabbed goodies for their Super Bowl parties. Several businesse...
By JOHN McCALLUM Editor It’s rare when a Cheney team travels to Whitman County and returns singing anything else but the blues. Last Tuesday the Lady Hawks bus ride back from Pullman must have been filled with happy tunes indeed as Cheney outscored the host Greyhounds 21-5 in the final eight minutes to pull away for a convincing 64-40 win in Great Northern League girls basketball action. Head coach Shannon Root said she couldn’t really explain what happened to inspire her team in the final period, other than a prevailing sen...

One of the things my mutt from the pound and I like to do together is go on long walks. Sometimes on weekends Buster Brown and I stroll at the bottom of the Snake River Canyon where dogs can be off-leash (as Mother Nature intended). There’s a six-mile walk in the canyon we like to do: me limping along in a straight line, Buster ranging over a wider area of ground sniffing for wildlife. Closer to home, there is a six-mile loop around town we enjoy. I think I can speak for both of us when I say that we simply feel better a...
