The Cheney boys swimming team saved their best efforts for last – and for four of them, hopefully there’s more to give. The Blackhawks turned in their best times this season in placing third overall among 2A classification schools at the 2A/3A/4A District meet last Friday and Saturday at Central Washington University’s pool in Ellensburg. Head coach Jennifer Hochwalt said every Cheney swimmer dropped times in their events, most not only in preliminaries Friday but also again...
The Cheney girls’ basketball team found out last week that when you take care of the ball, and you don’t foul, you’re likely to end up in the win column. The Lady Hawks committed 26 turnovers and 18 fouls last Tuesday at East Valley. Result: A 64-40 Knights’ win. Thursday Cheney turned the ball over 12 times and committed just nine fouls against visiting Colville. Result: A big 50-45 Lady Hawks win. “That’s what we need to key on, taking care of the ball,” head coach Jennife...
That once in a blue moon trip through Montana which results in a sweep for the Eastern Washington University women’s basketball team will have to wait for another season. The Eagles saw their five-game winning streak come crashing to earth last Saturday afternoon in Dahlberg Arena in Missoula as the Grizzlies rolled 76-51 in Big Sky Conference play. Eastern, 8-4 in Big Sky play and 12-9 overall earned a 68-59 victory Thursday in Bozeman’s Worthington Arena in the start of the...
The difference between the haves and have not’s in the Big Sky Conference men’s basketball race and how to bridge the gap was aptly illustrated in last Saturday’s University of Montana 65-46 win over Eastern Washington at Reese Court. “We had enough guys on the court to play and they had enough guys and their guys they put on the court beat our guys,” EWU head coach Jim Hayford said. The solution: “The guys that we’re dressing and playing we have to use those guys to find...
Kurt Schulz has conquered a lot of long odds over his 45 years. Statistics will tell you he’s the one in 16 of his former Eisenhower High Cadets’ teammates to play football in college, which he did at Eastern Washington University from 1987 to 1991. A longer long shot was his becoming a professional football player in the NFL as just 1 in 50 college players get drafted. The Buffalo Bills took Schulz in the spring of 1992 in the seventh round and 165th overall.Taking that que...
The Cheney boys’ basketball team locked up at least a home playoff game with a pair of wins last week. The Blackhawks extended a one-point halftime lead by outscoring East Valley 31-21 in the second half to down the host Knights 58-49 Tuesday, and followed that with a 78-56 blowout of visiting Colville Thursday. Cheney’s tight defense frustrated the Knights (4-7, 8-11) Tuesday, preventing any good inside opportunities and limiting East Valley to outside shooting. Meanwhile the Blackhawks’ offense was able to penetrate and g...

By PAUL DELANEY Staff Reporter The rationale may be in question but the Medical Lake boys’ basketball team will certainly take the result. That result was the Cardinals’ 51-48 upset victory over the Chewelah Cougars on the road Monday. The win not only gave Medical Lake the No. 1 seed in this weekend’s bi-district tournament at West Valley in Spokane but also snapped Chewelah’s 15-game winning streak.
