The calendar said April. The weather and some of the play on the field was a bit more like November. That was a quick snapshot from last Saturday’s 45-play scrimmage at blustery, cold – and sometimes snowy – Roos Field. It was the first time coaches and players have gotten to test themselves in something other than drills during Eastern Washington University’s spring football practice. They’ll go at it this Saturday with another scrimmage following a 10:30 a.m. start to...
After an undefeated previous week Medical Lake softball fell in a pair of Northeast A League games 14-4 at Riverside and 16-7 at home to Lakeside. A nine-run second inning set the tone at Riverside. After Medical Lake cut it to 9-3 with three runs in the top of the third, the Rams matched that for a 12-3 lead. Medical Lake was limited to six hits including triples Rachel Stanfill and Kayla Pruitt. Lakeside also had a fast start by scoring eight runs in the top of the first...
Despite losing their head-to-head meeting last week, Medical Lake was still able to at least keep the pressure on Lakeside for the Northeast A League soccer championship. A two win, one loss week that included a 10-1 rout of Riverside last Tuesday, followed by a 5-2 loss to Lakeside and a 2-1 victory over Newport gives Medical Lake a 3-2 NEA record. The Cardinals get another chance to gain ground this week with rematches at Riverside this past Tuesday and hosting Lakeside...
The Cheney High School boys’ tennis team saw it all last week: a win, loss and a rainout. The team struggled in its match against Pullman, losing 7-0 against one of the Great Northern League’s top teams. Scores for Cheney were on the lower end, however the games were much closer than scores indicated. Head coach Jesse Erickson said Solomon Springberry, who lost 1-6 and 1-6, was being aggressive throughout his match, but couldn’t capitalize on several close games. He said the same thing went for Ryan Axtell, who lost 3-6 and 4...
Cheney’s soccer team continued its successful run through the Great Northern League with a 7-0 win last Tuesday over visiting Colville. The win is the Blackhawks’ sixth straight, taking their league mark to 8-0, 24 points and 9-2 overall. Senior forward Nick Ellis got Cheney on the board in the third minute off an assist from Micah Weller, with the junior midfielder feeding Trevan Estrellado for a score in the ninth minute. Weller got his third assist six minutes later on Ian Schmandel’s goal, with scores by senior Danie...
Cheney High’s baseball team went 1-2 in Great Northern League action last week – with all three games decided by one run and last inning rallies. The Blackhawks fell behind 4-2 in the first inning at Pullman (fifth, 2-8, 2-9) Tuesday as starting pitcher Tanner “Bubba” Smith struggled, allowing four runs before the first out was made. The sophomore found his groove to end the threat by striking out the side and not giving up another run the rest of the way. Cheney clawed its way back with runs in the fourth and fifth inning...
Medical Lake’s girls’ tennis team ended last week’s return to competition with a pair of close non-league losses, 4-3 to West Valley last Tuesday and 3-2 at Lind-Ritzville-Sprague Thursday. The Cardinals did well in doubles’ play at home against West Valley winning two of three sets but stumbled in singles play with just one victory in four sets. Becky Nix and Rachel Hansen scored a 7-6 (7-2), 4-6, 6-2 win in No. 1 doubles while Katelynn Houger and Sandra Layam won 4-6, 6-...
