Jarms Hardware and Leo's Photography battled to an 8-8 tie May 7 in a West Plains Little League game between the AAA teams. The game ended after reaching the designated time limit in the sixth inning.

Medical Lake track will have wrapped up its dual meet season with an event at Colville May 13 and most likely finish third in the Northeast A regular season. But Cardinals’ co head coach Gene Blankenship is looking ahead to District 7 competition at Freeman High School, May 22-23 as the true gauge for the season. Medical Lake’s boys will likely dominate again in both sprints and distance event, and may also have qualifiers in the throws with Elijah Farmen. Blankenship see...

Cory Wagner pitched a 10 strikeout, five-hit complete game and Hudson Petek delivered single in the top of the sixth that scored two runs to lead Medical Lake past Lakeside 3-1 in a first-round, loser out game in the District 7 1A tournament in Suncrest. The win moved Medical Lake (9-12) into the double-elimination round where they played at Northeast A League champion Freeman, May 13 and win or lose face an as yet to be determined opponent Saturday, May 16 at Freeman. The win over the Eagles was the first this season for...
The defending Northeast A League girls champion Medical Lake Cardinals ended up close to scoring a repeat but will finish third in the standings following three straight wins to close the regular season.

Medical Lake finished the season strong winning five of their final six matches and are 7-3 in league play. Medical...
Medical Lake's quest for an undisputed boy's Northeast A League soccer championship ran into a big roadblock in Colville last Thursday, May 7. Colville's 5-1 win not only halted Medical Lake's six game winning streak but also awarded the Indians sole possession of the top spot having won the total goals battle 7-4 following the Cardinals' earlier 3-2 win. Medical Lake (8-2 Northeast A League, 8-8 overall) entered the week with a one-game lead over Colville (8-2, 9-3) and maint...
Two more tough one-run losses to Deer Park added to the frustration this baseball season for Medical Lake last week. The Cardinals fell 4-3 in nine innings May 5 and 5-4 on April 28 and have dropped six of their last seven Northeast A League games going into a first-round, loser-out playoff game May 12 at Lakeside (9-5 NEA, 11-8 overall). Perhaps the Cardinals’ most deflating defeat was the 5-4 setback where they appeared to be cruising to victory with a 4-0 lead and n...
The bad news for the Medical Lake High School softball team got worse in the form of a losing streak that has been next to impossible it seems to break out of. The good news is there is still time for the Cardinals to turn things around before the start of the playoffs. Medical Lake (4-7 Northeast A, 5-10 overall) saw its winless string reach eight games following a 15-10 defeat at the hands of Davenport in a nonleague contest May 6. It was the only game for Medical Lake last...
It looks like the Cheney High boys’ soccer team will be on the road for the regional round of post-season play. The Blackhawks lost a 1-0 heartbreaker Tuesday afternoon at Great Northern League regular-season champion Pullman, playing the Greyhounds scoreless through regulation and both five-minute overtimes before losing in a 3-2 shootout. Pullman goalkeeper Will Pitzer entered the game in overtime, but made two big saves in the shootout. Oliver Smith and Noah Prophet scored for Cheney in the shootout. The Blackhawks, 1...
The Cheney High girls golf team concluded their regular season, finishing four out of five teams with 97 points in the Great Northern League tournament at the Palouse Ridge Golf Course in Pullman, Wash., May 5.

A pair of road victories, plus one at home last week sealed a 2015 Northeast A League boy’s tennis championship for Medical Lake. The Cardinals raced past Chewelah 4-1 on May 5 and Riverside, 5-0 last Thursday and 4-1 Friday versus Deer Park. Getting that first victory to start the week was crucial. “This was a big win for the boys as Chewelah posed the biggest threat to us after Lakeside,” co-head coach Dawn Eliassen said. But the title was not much of a surprise to the v...
The Cheney High boys’ tennis team capped off their strongest regular season in years with a couple of 4-3 Great Northern League wins over Clarkston, May 5 and Pullman, May 7 and a regular season league title — the Blackhawks’ first district championship in 20 years, according to head coach Jesse Erickson. “There was a bit of a drought because teams like Clarkston have been so dominant over the years,” Erickson said. “All of my guys played much better this time than when they first played Clarkston,” Ryan Axtell, No. 2...
After the May 2 “Fight of the Century” — and by “Fight of the Century” I mean lackluster bout — between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, I was looking forward to a combat sports smorgasbord that included boxing, kickboxing and UFC. One fight I had my eye on was the fight between the “Super Samoan” Mark Hunt and Stipe Miocic in Australia. Miocic is a well-rounded fighter with knockout power and good wrestling skills. In the other corner, there’s Hunt, a former kickboxing world champion who has impressive power and a grani...
The Cheney High softball team finds itself in an unusual position in the upcoming District 7 playoffs - playing the waiting game. The 18-2 Lady Blackhawks now sit back and watch as other league opponents knock each other off in the run to reach the district's title and seeding game to regional action with the Central Washington Athletic Conference. By virtue of their first Great Northern League regular season championship, Cheney has an automatic berth and gets to play the...
The Cheney High boys' soccer team solved the riddle that was East Valley and found a way to win their second straight playoff game. Four minutes into the first overtime, the third-seeded Knights positioned for a free kick by bringing all of their players up onto Cheney's side of the pitch. The kick missed, and went to the feet of the Blackhawks' Dakota Daniels, who possessed the loose ball about 30 yards outside the Knights goal and dribbled past the defensive line. Daniels...
