The Cheney High School boys soccer team was handed two Great Northern League losses last week against Pullman and Clarkston, bringing their conference record to 2-8 and 3-10 overall.

An up and down offense and defense made for an up and down week for the Medical Lake softball team. When errors crept into the line score, so did the losses, 7-1 to Chewelah on April 17 and 10-2 to Colville. But when the defense did its job — and the offense, too — the Cardinals prevailed over Riverside 16-1. In the two losses, Medical Lake (3-5 NEA, 4-7 overall) committed five errors in each contest. “We were down 2-1 going into the sixth inning,” at Chewelah, head coach T...

In fact, Hickey will have a slightly different title, that of Associate Vice President/Director of Athletics at Eastern Washington University, effective...
Cheney High’s baseball team is hoping lightning really does strike twice in the same spot. Last year the Blackhawks swept Pullman in a season-ending doubleheader, wins that led to three more to win the District 7 title and trip to state. Cheney head coach Glenn Chamberlain doesn’t think his team is in that spot just yet, but with a sweep last Friday of East Valley, the Blackhawks are hoping they’re on their way to a repeat of last season’s ending — and possibly more. “The way it sits right now, we’ve got a chance to rea...
Blackhawks smother Pullman 88-57 in final home dual meet Cheney High’s boys track and field team exacted a measure of revenge on Pullman last Wednesday, April 18, for a whipping the Greyhounds laid on the Blackhawks last season — and by doing so earned the Great Northern League’s regular-season championship. Cheney downed the visiting Greyhounds 88-57 to wrap up an unbeaten season in dual meet action. Last year, the Greyhounds handed the visiting Blackhawks an 89-56 loss. In fact the only time the Blackhawk boys didn’t finish...
Cheney softball head coach Gary Blake has an acronym for the ailment that sent his Lady Blackhawks to their first loss of the season last Friday at East Valley. It's called PIADD - Prom Induced Attention Deficit Disorder. The lack of focus in athletes due to the coming of the annual spring ritual often leads to stumbles by teams playing at the top of their game prior to the much-anticipated formal weekend event. Such was the case with the Lady Blackhawks, who had to rally...
