Medical Lake at Riverside The Card baseball crew traveled to Nine Mile Falls on Friday, April 26 for an offensive onslaught by both teams that by the end of the day found Medical Lake victorious over the Riverside Rams (2-8, 5-9).

The Cheney girls tennis team is finding that persistence is the name of the game, according to head coach Jeff Ward.

Cheney High School’s baseball team wrapped up its regular season by splitting its final four games 2-2, but it was the two losses that hurt the most. Needing a win against Pullman to seal a Great Northern League title, the Blackhawks came up short in both games of an April 27 doubleheader. Cheney’s late rally fell short in game one — the one that mattered — as the Blackhawks lost 3-2, followed by a 5-1 setback in the nightcap. Pullman hurler Hyatt Utzman scattered three Cheney hits through the first six innings. But in the...

How do you know you’re having a good track and field season? Breaking a 31-year-old school record previously set by a National Football League No. 1 pick might be an indication. Cheney High School’s Jacob McGourin accomplished such a feat last Wednesday at home in a Great Northern League dual meet with Clarkston. The senior’s first-place discus throw of 188 feet, 11 inches not only garnered him a new personal record but also broke the school mark set in 1988 by former Blackhaw...
Sometimes the stats speak for themselves. That’s the tale told in one particular stat from the Cheney High School softball team’s Great Northern League loss last Tuesday, April 23, to visiting league-leader West Valley. The Lady Blackhawks surrendered 22 hits, which is quite a bit, but more impacting were the seven errors that led to a number of unearned Eagle runs in the 19-9 setback. Some of those came in West Valley’s six-run fifth inning that made a 9-6 game all but out o...
