The Cardinals (4-6 NEA, 8-7 overall) unloaded on Riverside (2-8, 3-10) for an 18-3 mercy-rule shortened game April 26, but had to face one of the top pitchers in the Northeast A League — Kylie Sweeney — twice last Saturday and lost a doubleheader to Deer Park 5-0 and 8-7 at Reinking Field in Medical Lake.

By PAUL DELANEY Staff Reporter The Medical Lake boys’ tennis team continues to charge towards a repeat Northeast A League tennis title following wins last week, 5-0 over Riverside and 3-2 against Lakeside. The Cardinals’ No. 1 doubles teams emerged perfect, but did so using different partners with Isiah Farmen. He and Alex Neder won 6-2, 6-1 against Riverside, but Kason Bailey, normally No. 1 singles, was paired with Farmen against Lakeside and they emerged with a crucial 6-3...
The opponent’s net is finally finding a home for Medical Lake shots, particularly those of Nick Rosenbeck. A week after the Cardinals experienced a drought on the soccer field and went winless, they rained down enough goals to exit last week with a pair of Northeast A League wins, 8-0 over Deer Park and 1-0 over Lakeside. Medical Lake evened its NEA record at 4-4 (6-7 overall) and tied Lakeside (4-4, 4-7) for third place with two contests remaining in the regular season. ...

Cheney had a strong lead through most of the game, scoring runs in the second, third (two), sixth and seventh innings. East Valley’s comeback attempt was limited to four runs in the b...

When Cheney High girls’ track and field head coach Tom Stralser looks back at last Thursday’s Great Northern League dual meet at West Valley, all he sees are points. “We left points on the track, we left points on the field,” Stralser said of the Blackhawks 76-74 loss to the Eagles. But Stralser also sees the positive, something important moving forward towards the District 7 meet, May 13. “We also competed well in other areas,” he added. “This is the best the girls have competed all year long.” Cheney grabbed eight f...
While it wasn’t quite as close as the Cheney High boys’ track and field team had expected, last Thursday’s 90-55 loss at West Valley still had its moments full of promise. “The biggest take away of the day is we’re still young, but we compete,” Blackhawks boys’ head coach Derek Slaughter said. In the field, Gaige Felix brought home a pair of first-place finishes in the jumps, winning the long jump with a leap of 19 feet, 6.5 inches and the triple jump at 40-04, with Kaleb Loos right behind him in second at 36-04.

1 Years Ago May 11, 2006 The Medical Lake School District and the city of Medical Lake were in discussions as to how they might team up to fund an upgraded restroom facility at Reinking Field costing about $40,000.

Medical Lake will be looking for a new director of athletics following the move of Tricia Smith back to the classroom in the district’s alternative program. 20...
There are only three chances left to see a performance of StageWest Community Theatre’s current production of “Getting Sara Married” by Sam Bobrick. According to Nancy Kuonen, StageWest director of publicity and advertising, the production “truly is a funny play and we have had many comments about it.” Kuonen also said that thanks to groups from Spokane’s Corbin Senior Center, the Red Hat Ladies and friends of StageWest coming from Sprague, the May 1 matinee was a sellout. Performances are Friday and Saturday night, both...
