See a photo gallery from the event here. It took a shootout for the Cheney boys soccer team to finally put away last Saturday's District 7 playoff game at Pullman. But then why shouldn't it be that way - after all, the other three contests between the Blackhawks and Greyhounds were also decided by penalty kicks. After 80 minutes of regulation and 10 minutes of overtime resulted in a 1-1 tie, Cheney out shot Pullman 6-5 in penalty kicks for a 2-1 win, eliminating the Great Nort...
See a photo gallery from the event here. Sometimes, you just have one of those days. For Cheney High softball coach Gary Blake, that pretty much sums up his Lady Blackhawks experience last Saturday as Great Northern League leader West Valley blew into town for a doubleheader. The Eagles left with a pair of convincing wins, thwarting Cheney's bid to replace them atop the league standings and in search of a little refocusing. West Valley jumped to an 8-0 in game one, and after...
See a photo gallery from the event here. Medical Lake's pivotal Northeast A League baseball game with Deer Park was rained out May 5. Cardinals' head coach Kerry Kelly might have wished the contest, rescheduled for the following afternoon, had the same result following the Stags thorough clubbing of his team 15-2 at Holliday Field. That concluded the regular season in the NEA with Medical Lake ending as the No. 4 seed with an 8-6 record (8-7 overall) and facing Colville (6-8,...
See a photo gallery from the event here. The arm of Suzanne Shores simply didn’t have enough left. Four games in eight days can take its toll. After pitching five spectacular innings — including the fifth where she gave up a lead-off double, yet kept Deer Park from scoring — the Cardinals’ sophomore tired in the final two innings and the Stags took advantage for a 9-2 Northeast A League softball game Monday, May 8 at Reinking Field in Medical Lake. The game was pivotal...

Two members of the Medical Lake girls golf team competed Monday, May 8 at the state 2B/1B/1A qualifying round at the Deer Park Golf course, but fell short of making it to regional play, head coach Jerry Ornelas reported. Sierra Brock shot a 126 while Halle Barsness-Ames recorded a 134 with the cutoff at 116....
It’s hardly news that Medical Lake head track coach Gene Blankenship will be the first to say it’s the postseason that matters. So when his Cardinals fared just so-so in a Northeast A League track meet May 3 at Deer Park, he will take the individual victories that came out of the day rather than the end result. As a team the ML boys beat Riverside 75-45, but lost to Deer Park 110-35. The girls lost 79-64 to Riverside and 86-59 to Deer Park. Blankenship said he expected Riversi...
For a change, there were virtually no lengthy spans of inattention for Medical Lake’s boys’ soccer team. A brief one, however, in the early minutes of the second half ,was enough to deliver top-seeded Colville a 3-2 first-round playoff victory May 2 that bounced the No. 4 Cardinals from the postseason. “We had a little lapse, right at the beginning of the second half, they scored two quick goals on us,” head coach Zane Higgins said. Colville (12-3 overall) got goals from Al...

The old adage, “You only get one chance to make a good first impression,” really does not apply to Medical Lake’s resident race car driver, Braeden Havens, when it comes to NASCAR’s K&N Racing Series. Because he’d likely point back to 2014 — July 12 to be exact — and offer a well-worn retread reply, “Been there, done that.” That’s the day Havens made his initial mark in NASCAR’s Class-A-baseball-version-feeder series at Stateline Speedway. Not only did he best some of the t...
The Cheney High baseball team continued their momentum into district play. Ten days after they swept Pullman in an April 28 doubleheader to close out the regular season, the Blackhawks shut out No. 2 seed Clarkston, 5-0 in a first-round District 7 playoff game. The game was originally scheduled for May 6, but moved to May 8 at Pullman because of weather conditions. “I told guys the regular season is done and everyone starts off at 0-0,” head coach Glenn Chamberlain said. The Blackhawks took a 2-0 lead in the second inn...
