It didn't take long for the Cheney High girls track and field team to return to the top of the Great Northern League. The Blackhawks scored in all events save one for a 94-56 win over visiting West Valley, giving the Cheney girls their first league title in two years, finishing the season 4-0. The Blackhawks had reeled off a string of six titles in a row before finishing second in 2013 to East Valley. A young Cheney boys team still has a bit of a ways to go before returning...
What started out as a strong regular season for the Cheney High baseball team continues to go through the grinder of the regular season after losing to East Valley, 5-0, April 28, and dropping both games of their doubleheader against Pullman, 10-0, 7-0. Besides fielding errors, Cheney’s biggest challenge lately is putting the ball in play. In their last five games, the Blackhawks had only 19 hits. “We’re just in a funk right now,” head coach Mike Cagle said. “We just need to execute and hit the ball.” During the game agains...
Nonleague tennis competition dominated Medical Lake’s schedule last week as the Cardinal boys and girls each sandwiched a pair of 3-2 wins over Lakeside around matches against Lind-Ritzville-Sprague plus competition in the annual Inland Empire Invite. In their victory over Lakeside the Northeast A League leading Cardinal boys got a sweep in doubles play to improve to 6-1. Isiah Farmen and Austin Brown won in straight sets, 6-4, 6-0 at No. 1 doubles. The No. 3 doubles team o...

If Medical Lake is to repeat as 1A state track champions later this month at Eastern Washington University it will happen because of their experience and finishes in bigger meets against larger schools. That means the Cardinals twin losses April 28 to Deer Park and to Lakeside (team scores unavailable) in a boy’s triple dual meet April 28 at Medical Lake does not particularly worry co-head coach Gene Blankenship. “The results tell us that we are a very good district and sta...
Not a lot’s clicking and meshing these days with the Medical Lake girl’s softball team and it’s showing with six consecutive losses in the Northeast A League. The most recent of those came last week with an 11-8 loss to Riverside April 28 and a doubleheader loss Saturday to Deer Park, 4-2 and 11-6. “We made too many mistakes both offensively and defensively,” Cardinals’ head coach Tim Blakely wrote in an email after he watched his team fall into sixth place in the NEA standin...
Rosa's Pizza ran their record to 4-2 with a 6-4 win last Friday night over Cheney Free Press in West Plains Little League Majors Division action at Medical Lake's Waterfront Park. Rosa's Anthony Aguilera tripled to right centerfield in the top of the second inning to open the scoring, bringing home Brent Keith and Jalijah Meacham for an early 2-0 lead, and later scoring on a wild pitch. In the third, Karl Barsness singled to center to score Carson Jeffries, and eventually...

The Cheney boys and girls golf teams had some success in the April 28 Great Northern League tournament at Fairways Golf Course. Cheney’s Cheyenne Marchand, who hit a 63, edged out Clarkston’s Grace Frazier, of Clarkston, who shot a 62 by one stroke, to finish in first place. As in the previous tournaments, the GNL used a modified Stableford scoring system, where the highest total of points wins instead of the lowest. “Cheyenne has a powerful smooth swing, great touch around the greens,” head coach Gerald Morton said. “She is...
The Cheney High boys and girls tennis teams capped off a busy week with a successful outing at the Inland Empire tournament, May 1-2. JT Gould and Leanna Eik, No. 2 mixed doubles, finished second in their bracket while Katelynn and Ryan Smedley, No. 1 mixed doubles, took third in theirs. As a team, Cheney finished 13th out of 50 with 84 points. Both teams also earned wins over Northeast A League's Deer Park, April 28, and Great Northern League rivals East Valley, April 30. On...
This is probably a long time coming, 11 years long time is likely, but the Cheney Free Press has decided to add a new feature to our sports coverage line up. Beginning this week, the intrepid Free Press reporting staff will be bringing you a West Plains Little League game of the week. The idea is to pick one game from among the Majors and AAA divisions of WPLL’s baseball and softball leagues and cover it, providing a write up as best we can along with pictures. We hope to get as many of the teams in our pages as possible duri...
There was certainly no rust in Dallas White. Inserted into actual competition for the first time this season, Medical Lake's top goal scorer in 2014 took just seconds to get his Cardinals even and headed on their way to one of their biggest soccer wins in several years, 3-2 at Lakeside April 30. The victory, the Cards first over the Eagles since rejoining the Northeast A League three years ago, helped break a three-way tie atop the standings. The win, coupled with an 8-2...
The Cheney boys soccer team missed winning their fourth consecutive Great Northern League soccer title by one game and two points - and in a way, head coach Mark Kiver is OK with that fact. In the league's five-team alignment, the regular season winner has an automatic berth in the District 7 title game while the other four teams slog it out through a pair of loser-out rounds. That means league champion Pullman has to wait until May 12 to take the pitch again as hosts for the title game that will determine seeding into the...
Cheney High’s softball team accomplished a major goal last week — one every Lady Blackhawks team sets at the beginning of the season, but never attained in the 23 years the sport has been played at the high school. Julia Boyd turned in a two-hit shutout, and Cheney produced just enough offense to take advantage of eight East Valley errors and down the visiting Knights 10-0 last Tuesday. In the process, Cheney’s softball program won its first league title at any level — Great Northern League, Frontier League, Border League or...
1 Years Ago May 5, 2005 The third attempt to land a hotel across from the Cheney Plaza Shopping Center on Betz Road — this time a Holiday Inn Express — is contingent on whether the obstacle of a city-owned road can be cleared. An investigation showed two anonymous complaints made against the Wagon Wheel Tavern Bar and Grill in Medical Lake to the Washington Liquor Control Board were unfounded. Rumors that Medical Lake head basketball coach Arnold Brown would move to an opening at Lewis and Clark High School in Spokane wer...
