Eastern Washington restocked its shelves for the future at the offensive line, and with running backs to follow their blocks and a quarterback to throw after announcing their 2016 football recruiting class. Feb. 3 at National Letter of Intent day. Eagles’ head coach Beau Baldwin announced that 19 players had announced their commitment to play at Eastern in a breakfast event at the Northern Quest Resort and Casino Hotel. The headliner is quarterback Eric Barriere from La Habra, Calif. High School where he accounted for 130 car...

Bliznyuk earns player of week honor The shooting numbers of 7-of-13 suited Bogdan Bliznyuk just fine in Eastern Washington University’s first two Big Sky Conference men’s basketball road wins of the 2015-16 season. The sophomore forward earned College Sports Madness Big Sky Conference Player of the Week honors Monday (Feb. 8) for his stat-stuffing performances in wins over Northern Arizona (84-73) and Southern Utah (81-67), including 7-of-13 shooting in each game and a 7-of-13 performance at both the 3-point stripe and ins...
Cheney High School's Jasmine McCauley signed a national letter of intent last Thursday to play soccer at Bellevue College (formerly Bellevue Community College) in Bellevue, Wash. The senior was a defender/midfielder for the Lady Blackhawks soccer team this fall and joins a team that was 14-2 overall and Northwest Athletic Conference West Region co-champions in 2015....
The offensive spark continued to flicker last week for the Medical Lake girl’s basketball team. The Cardinals lost a pair of Northeast A League games 56-44 at Newport and 48-21 at home to Lakeside on Senior Night. League-leading Lakeside (12-1 NEA, 16-3 overall) held Medical Lake to single digit scoring Friday in each of the quarters and no Cardinal player managed to score in double figures. “Lakeside is a very good team, with two very good guards with very high bas...
Medical Lake wrestlers had some additional inspiration heading into last Saturday’s District 7 tournament, but it was certainly not the kind they wanted. The Medical Lake community as a whole was dealt a shock Friday with the news of the unexpected death of 19-year-old Ricky Petersen, a former wrestler. But Petersen’s passing galvanized the team and served as motivation for a group of primarily young wrestlers who battled through an emotional day and will move on to reg...

Cheney High School boys basketball head coach Gregg Smith hopes there’s truth to the axiom that “it’s difficult to beat a team three times in a season” — plus one. The Blackhawks have lost three times this season to the No. 2 seed Pullman Greyhounds, all of which, while close late in the game, have ended up being double-digit wins for the Hounds, including a 59-38 loss at Pullman Feb. 2 in the regular season finale. As the No. 5 seed, Cheney (1-11, 5-14) is slated to travel south one more time at least as the two opened th...
It took an extra four minutes to do it, but the Pullman High School girls’ basketball team found a way to deny the Cheney girls their first home playoff game in three years. The Greyhounds rallied from a four-point third quarter deficit to tie the game at 53 after regulation, and outscored the Lady Blackhawks 6-1 in overtime for a 59-54 win in the regular season finale for both teams Feb. 2 in Pullman. The win gives Pullman a 4-8 record in Great Northern League play, earning the No. 3 seed in the playoffs this week while C...
One of the highlights in covering the Cheney High football team's 2015 season was watching senior Ty Graham tear it up on offense and defense. Last week I got to stand among his family, friends, coaches and classmates as he took the next step of his football career and signed a letter of intent to play football for the University of Idaho. "I am so thankful for the support of this community," Graham said after he signed the letter on Feb. 3. "I'm going to remember this time...
With some momentum from earning their Big Sky Conference first road wins of the season and a four game winning streak in tow, the Eastern Washington University men’s basketball team has a mission in mind as they return home to Reese Court. “We’ve got some paybacks to do this week,” Eagles’ head coach Jim Hayford said during Monday night’s coach’s show. Eastern meets North Dakota, tonight (Thursday, Feb. 11) with a 6:05 p.m. tipoff. The Fighting Hawks, at 7-4 (12-10 overall), a...
Cheney High wrestling coach Brad Rasmussen accomplished two goals he had this season: Score more team points at the Great Northern League district championships and have more wrestlers qualify for regionals. He and his team accomplished this at districts, Feb. 6, after Cheney finished third out of five teams with 188.5 points - exceeding last year's score of 177 - and had nine wrestlers advance to regionals - two more than last year. "We had that goal written on our wall,"...
When it came to needing extra effort on a night crucial to Medical Lake's postseason aspirations for its boy's basketball team, head coach Arnold Brown turned to his seniors. And while each of them stepped up, one in particular did so in, perhaps, a bigger way in Medical Lake's showdown for second place in the Northeast A League last Thursday on Senior Night against Lakeside, won by the Cardinals 63-52. Jaelon Stith, saddled with an injury and forced to ride the bench the...
