If one must assign blame for the Cheney High School girls basketball team’s elimination-round playoff loss to West Valley, Lorin Carlon said you can lay it on him. The long-time head coach in his first year with the Lady Blackhawks has been trying new things late in the season, one of which was implementing a 1-3-1 zone on defense to help cut down on opponent’s penetration to the basket. The tactic worked in two previous games, wins over Pullman and Clarkston. But against the Lady Eagles Feb. 8, Carlon returned to man...

There’s an old adage in mixed martial arts “never leave a fight in the hands of the judges.” Part of this is philosophical and encourages fighters to finish the fight with a knockout or a submission. The flip side to this is that a fighter may think they won the fight, but the judges see it a different way, resulting in a loss for them. During UFC 208 last weekend, fans were a bit irked because of couple of fights that went to judges’ decisions, particularly in the co-main event where former middleweight champion Anderso...
