The Northeast A League’s Most Valuable singles player will get a chance to see how that honor plays out on the state stage. Medical Lake’s Noah Ray earned that right last Saturday when the Cardinals’ senior finished second in the 1A/1B/2B regionals played at Mead High School. Ray lost to his recent NEA nemesis, Joel Cladera-Garcia of Riverside, 1-6, 1-6, who beat him in district play as well. Ray will be joined by the doubles teams of Trevor Nilles and Daniel Miller, as well...

Familiarity with the course paid off for Medical Lake in the District 7 golf championships last week. Having played at Chewelah in both sub-districts, and in an invitational where they scored a rare victory, the Cardinals were able to advance a pair of golfers to state. Sophomore Logan Dianda and junior Brendan Petro, along with alternate Michael O’Brien, were competing this past week in the 1A boys tournament at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco. Dianda shot rounds of 95 a...
Medical Lake emerged from their outing to the District 7 track and field championships at Riverside High School last week just about how their coach figured - with one notable exception. The Cardinals will once again send a strong contingent to the state 1A/1B/2B championships today through Saturday at Eastern Washington University's Roos Field, minus distance ace, junior Mason Williams. "He was in the 16(00) pretty close but just couldn't hold," Blankenship said. Williams...

The Cheney boys soccer team’s first appearance in the state 2A tournament since 2014 didn’t last long. After a five-hour-plus trip over the Cascade Mountains to Renton, the Blackhawks fell 3-1 last Tuesday to Lindbergh High of the South Puget Sound League in opening round action in the field of 16 teams. The Eagles got a goal in the first half and made it 2-0 with a goal 10 minutes into the second. Cheney got on the board seven minutes later as Christian Lamphere found Noah Prophet on a pass off a through ball the senior for...
It’s spring — or so the calendar says — and time for fresh beginnings. Count that as the guiding light for Medical Lake’s American Legion baseball team which started their season, elevated back to AA play in the National Division, this past Tuesday. There’s need to refocus after they closed out 2016 with a decidedly sour taste in their collective craws in a season of single-A play. As described last summer in this column space, a very-much overachieving crew from Medical L...
Sports are filled with highs and lows, and the Cheney High School softball team experienced both within the space of six days. Last Wednesday, the Lady Blackhawks climbed to the pinnacle of success - and in the process likely further fueled their rivalry with Great Northern League foe West Valley - by winning a third consecutive District 7 title. Cheney rallied in the sixth inning for an eventual 15-13 win, marking the second year in a row they've denied the Millwood school th...

This was Cheney's third state tournament appearance in four years. During the Olympic game, Cheney broke out with a 3-0 lead in the second inning and controlled the game from there, forcing the 10-run...

Organizers say it's a time of catching up on the local news and making that special purchase from the many vendors - and it takes a commuity to put together. Tyler Grange provides the facilities...
