Call them gutsy performances by certain individuals, but still losses nonetheless. Medical Lake lost a pair of Northeast A League baseball games 4-1 at Lakeside on April 24 and 16-0 to Deer Park April 27. The setbacks added more reality to the Cardinals days ahead that it’s time to at least begin thinking about the idea there will be no postseason for first-year head coach Austin Sharp. Weston Thomas pitched against Lakeside. “He just does not disappoint,” Sharp said. He ga...

After a slow start, Medical Lake’s track team might just be peaking at the right time. Or so the results from last week seem to indicate with certain athletes emerging from the pack.

ML’s boys earned an 82-37 win over Chewelah and the girls prevailed 82-50. But it was over the weekend where head coach Gen...
For a brief moment, the Cheney High softball team lost it's hitting ability, despite a 5-2 road win at Clarkston on April 24. No worries, however.

It's not as if Cheney couldn't hit at Clarkston, they managed 10 base knocks overall. But while some teams would be happy with that, the Lady Blackhawks are used to more, and for head coach Gary Blake, it's a...

That work has paid off, with Wagner, a sophomore, earning not only a spot on the pitching-rich roster for the Community Colleges...

The last time Eastern Washington University had to fill the athletics director’s chair was over 10 years ago. And at the time, it was no question that there was very little stability. Former AD Bill Chaves, who left Cheney in January to take a similar duty station at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, liked to remind people that when he was tired he was the fifth person – be it full-time or as an interim – to sit in the chair in just a few years. But a decad...
Cheney High's baseball team came close to repeating last year's regular season finish over the final four games of 2018. Needing to win their final six games to have a shot at emerging at season's end as Great Northern League champions, the Blackhawks won five of those final six, three of four in two doubleheaders last week, to jump into second place. With a little help, Cheney - which has wrapped up its regular season schedule - could remain there, and at worst finish no...
