Despite him “ducking” out of town earlier than we all would have wished, Adams has so many people wishing him the best of luck. In having this immense privilege to tell stories such as those I have been able to do in chronicling Adams’ amazing exploits over the past three years...
This year's Great Northern League wrestling districts Feb. 7 at East Valley was a different landscape with the absences of Colville and Deer Park, who moved to the Northeast A League in the fall that only allowed for the top three finishers in each weight to would move on to the Class 2A Region IV tournament Feb. 13-14 in Ellensburg. Yet history repeated itself for the Cheney High wrestling team as seven Blackhawks advanced to regionals. Cameron Wiseman (138 pounds) and Devon...

The trip started with a 75-69 win over the Montana Grizzlies. With the victory,...
One was a nail-biter and the other a virtual breeze by comparison.

First the wins ended a four-game Eagles’ losing streak. Next, it got them back in the hunt for the conference championship. And finally — coupl...

1 Years Ago Feb. 17, 2005 A proposed city admissions tax of 5 percent on ticket sales of over $10 each was met with disapproval from officials at Eastern Washington University, largely because they were not informed by the city in advance of the measure being voted upon.
