One of head coach Nels Radtke's goals for the Lady Blackhawks soccer team this year was to start the season with a winning record and it seems he can check that off the list. Cheney continued their winning streak with nonleague victories over Greater Spokane League's Shadle Park (2-1), Sept. 6, a 2-0 shutout over Great Northern League rival Pullman (2-0), Sept. 8 and Northeast A League's Medical Lake (5-3), two days later. Against Shadle Park, the Lady Blackhawks came out of...

There's a temptation to look at the finish of last Saturday's epic heavyweight boxing match that took place in the Fargodome between Eastern Washington and North Dakota State University and say it was decided, in order, by a missed Jordan Dascalo 49-yard field goal or an interception delivered by the Eagles' quarterback, Gage Gubrud. The field goal came as regulation time ticked away and the pick on the second snap in overtime. But as Eastern head coach Beau Baldwin is always...
Medical Lake head coach Mo Owen’s option offense is designed to confuse the opponent. He and his team got some of their own medicine last Friday during a 57-10 thrashing by the ground-pounding Priest River Spartans in the Cardinals’ home opening football game played at Holliday Field. When looking at film of Priest River, Owen said the coaching staff saw a team that passed 70 percent of the time. “They came out in the same formations but they didn’t use them (the pass) m...
Medical Lake split their season-opening Northeast A League soccer games last week, falling at home to Freeman 2-1, Sept. 6, and shutting out Newport on the road 3-0, Sept. 8. The Cardinals closed out the week on Saturday, Sept. 10 with a 5-3 loss in a nonleague contest to undefeated Cheney (4-0). What was nice to see, along with noticeable improved play, according to head coach Zane Higgins is that someone besides Makayla Geiger is doing the scoring. “It was a good game, we p...
Medical Lake High School head cross country coach Gene Blankenship knew there was likely a big gap separating his team from fellow Northeast A League rival, Deer Park. Blankenship and his Cardinals found out just how big a distance that is and what it will take to close it after they opened the season last Saturday at the Moses Lake Invitational at Blue Heron Park’s 5,000-meter course. There, the Stags rolled to easy wins in both boys’ and girls’ competition. Deer Park...

There’s a familiar ring to Medical Lake High School volleyball’s 0-3 start and that’s conquering a learning curve presented by a new coaching staff. “Varsity has had a rough start to the season, but they are showing improvement each and every match,” head coach Todd Harr said. “With an entirely new coaching staff we are working to understand all of the players we have to work with along with all of the players understanding what we are asking of them.” The Cardinals ope...
By JOHN McCALLUM Editor The Cheney High girls swimming team is off to a good start in 2016 as two swimmers have already qualified for 2A state competition this November. Seniors Makenzie Norman and Alexis Schmidt punched their tickets to Federal Way by posting state qualifying times last Saturday at a four-team jamboree in Prosser. Norman turned in a time of 56.09 seconds in the 100-yard freestyle, about 1.5 seconds better than the qualifying mark of 57.60, while Schmidt had a blistering 1:01.77 time to qualify in the 100...
The Cheney High volleyball team began their season on a high note after a close 3-2 Great Northern League win over Pullman, Sept. 8, followed by a seventh-place finish in the Gold Division at the Lakeland Invite, two days later. The game scores for the Pullman match were: 25-17, 22-25, 26-24, 20-25 and 15-13. “We came back to win that third set, it showed that we have a lot more grit than we used to before,” head coach Heather Zorrozua said. Zorrozua added that she switched the rotation a bit during the later sets, but rea...
There’s nothing to the rumor that Eastern Washington University has moved from the Big Sky to the Missouri Valley Conference. With the Eagles meeting North Dakota State last Saturday in Fargo, where they lost in overtime to the five-time defending Football Championship Subdivision champion Bison, 50-44, this Saturday’s home opener versus Northern Iowa, marks the second straight time EWU faces a foe from that far-reaching Midwest league. “It’s exciting to play a tough schedul...
After losing their home opener against 4A Sunnyside, the Cheney Blackhawks football team bounced back to capture a 22-21 win over 3A Greater Spokane League’s North Central at Joe Albi Stadium, Sept. 8. “It was a great win for us in that we came from behind,” head coach Bobby Byrd said. “Not everything went perfect, but we found a way to get the job done. And to play at Joe Albi was great too. It’s a great high school football atmosphere.” Trailing 21-16 with seven minutes to play, the Blackhawks recovered a fumble on N...
Before the season began, Cheney High cross country co-coach Derek Slaughter said he had one simple message for the Blackhawks boys varsity seniors. "I told the seniors this year before to not leave any unfinished business this year," Slaughter said. So far, so good. Led by senior Drake Johnson's eighth-place finish and a tight packing of scoring runners, the Blackhawks varsity boys powered their way to a team title at the annual Highlander Invitational last Saturday at Shadle...
