  • Week is unkind to Medical Lake softball

    Paul Delaney, Staff Reporter|Updated Mar 29, 2018

    If it wasn’t the weather, it was the opponent that was not very cooperative last week when it came to Medical Lake softball. The Cardinals (0-2 NEA, 1-3 overall) were humbled in a pair on Northeast A League outings falling 13-0 to perennial power, Colville on March 20 and 15-4 at Deer Park March 26 in the completion of a game that was weather-delayed from March 22. “We played Tuesday up in Colville and that wasn’t a very good day,” head coach Tim Blakely said. The Indians got...

    Paul Delaney, Staff Reporter|Updated Mar 29, 2018

    While the Ray Cockrum Relays run last Saturday in Wenatchee were what they were advertised, mostly team events, Medical Lake head track coach Gene Blankenship was able to carve some slices of accomplishment elsewhere in the Wenatchee competition. “We ran a lot better this weekend,” Blankenship said, referencing their opening meet in Richland on March 17. And there was a bonus. “We actually had great weather, that was the place to be in Washington this weekend.” The best pe...

  • Blackhawks boys dominant East Valley for first Great Northern win

    John McCallum, Managing Editor|Updated Mar 29, 2018

    It’s been a long time since a Cheney High boys track and field team came up on the top end of a score against Great Northern League rival East Valley. In fact, the last time Cheney beat the Knights — 2008 — both schools were in a different league: the Greater Spokane League. But come up on top the Blackhawks did last Wednesday, winning 11 of 17 events — claiming at least the top three spots in four of them — to down the host Knights 86-59 in the first GNL meet of the season for both schools. “Lost by one last year,” thir...
