Gubrud was joined on the preseason all-conference list by senior...
I hesitate to write anything on this year’s Seattle Mariner’s. Especially right now. The M’s have had a propensity lately to put together a few winning streaks of promise, only to have those erased like Vesuvius wiping out Pompeii. A good example of this was Monday night’s series opener with the American League West Division leaders Houston Astros. The M’s have had a difficult time this season against the AL team with the best record, especially at Minute Maid Park. Monday’s game was a roller coaster and typical of the seas...

The win sends Prep to the upcoming state tournament as the No. 2 seed from Spokane. The Cannons, which feature a large contingent of West Plains' athletes from both Cheney and Medical...

Two of the four West Plains Little League’s All-Star teams emerged as champions and earned trips to state from district competition. 20 Years Ago July 24, 1997 Brent King, a disabled Army veteran from Cheney, competed in the 17th National Veteran’s Wheelchair Games in San Diego.
