A fast start was just what the Medical Lake boy’s basketball team needed in their final home game, a 67-49 win over Chewelah.

With junior Tellas Johnson pumping in 19 points and sophomore Cooper James 15, t...

While defense and rebounding are key ingredients to winning basketball games, ultimately it all comes down to one thing – you've got to score more than your opponent.

Every two, and four years in the state of Washington there is lobbying, nervous pacing and the accompanying disappointment that comes with not winning the day. And this has nothing to do with elections and politics. When reclassification time rolls around for the state’s high schools, there’s plenty at stake. And like what takes place at the ballot box, what is decided can have some lasting ramifications. The newest round of reclassification is now set and will carry sch...

Eastern Washington has been victorious at a terrific pace on the football field, no matter the color or composition. They’ve been winning the hearts of their fans along the way, too. And if Eagles’ head coach Beau Baldwin is right, he and his crew of coaches – and yes players – are now beginning to win over the minds of some of the best football talent in the region. That was the assertion last Wednesday when Eastern officially announced their signing class of 2014. On the...
