Eastern checked off its first payback last Saturday with a 55-17 win at Roos Field over 2017 co-champion Southern Utah. The Eagles found they did not skip as much as a beat last Saturday when quarterback Gage Gubrud was sidelined with a boot around his right foot following an injury suffered in the Montana State game Sept. 29. Backup Eric Barriere responded in only his second start by scoring a pair of touchdowns, one a record for EWU quarterbacks of 85 yards, and throwing... Full story

Matt Lucero scored the other goal as his team won for a fifth straight time this season. Hunt scored both goals for Eastern last Saturday but Oregon’s Luke Chamberlin netted t...

Just as advertised, Danny Bradbury was everything the Medical Lake football staff thought he would be, and he proved it in a very convincing manner on his home field in Newport’s 50-13 Northeast A League win last Friday night. Newport, coached by former Rogers High School and Whitworth University assistant, Dave Pomante, remained unbeaten at 3-0 in NEA play, 5-0 overall with a showdown looming this Friday with league co-leader Colville (3-0, 4-2). “It was a battle of att...
Medical Lake’s boys and girls cross country teams got the lickin’ they expected last week, but then turned things around to have solid finishes in an important invitational race. “Lakeside did pretty much what I thought, and we did the same thing to Freeman,” Cardinals head coach Gene Blankenship said of his team’s spankings in the opening race of the abbreviated Northeast A League dual meet schedule. The state’s No. 1-ranked 1A Eagle boys topped the Cardinals 19-40 while...

The Lady Blackhawks volleyball team had an inconsistent week, losing 3-2 to Clarkston on Oct. 2 after a vicious battle but easily overcoming West Valley on Oct. 4. The team battled into the fifth set in an away Great Northern League match against Clarkston (5-4, 4-3,) but the Bantams’ momentum and home court advantage got the best of Cheney (6-5, 3-5,) head coach Heather Zorrozua said. “Clarkston was a rough match for us,” Zorrozua said. “They’re a great team and they have one player who will get you.” Zorrozua was referri...
The Lady Blackhawks varsity soccer team overcame Clarkston 2-1 in a Great Northern League game on Oct. 2, but struggled to find their footing against West Valley Oct. 4.

The Lady Blackhawks were down early in the sixth minute, but were able to come back in the second half and deliver the win. “We were still shorthanded, especially since o...
The Cheney High School girls swim team thoroughly thumped Selah at their Oct. 9 meet, sweeping the competition 123-49 and winning every event. Freshman Janie Richards gave a particularly strong showing, taking the top spot in the 100-yard backstroke in 1:03:24, a state qualifying time and a new team record. She also snapped up the first place finish in the 100-yard butterfly in 1:07:31 with junior Echo Mecklenburg taking second in 1:12:75. "She had a great day," said head...
I grew up in a pro-football household. Every Sunday, Monday and Thursday was spoken for, and often the other days were filled with pre- and post-game analyses. The game featured heavily in the background of every holiday gathering and weekend barbecue for years. Professional football was one of the constants of my childhood, yet it’s getting harder and harder to support the organization that oversees it. As the 2018 season progresses, the absence of certain players has been blatantly obvious. Many of those players were s...

Bas Holland led all boys runners, finishing first with a time of 16 minutes, 41.38 seconds, over 33 seconds ahead of East Valley's Will Sharp in second....

Cheney High's defense turned in their second consecutive shutout and the offense showed juggernaut potential as the Blackhawks rolled over visiting East Valley 36-0 for a Homecoming win in Great Northern League action last Friday night at Tom Oswald Field. The win gives Cheney a 1-0 mark in the GNL and 6-0 overall, one win shy of matching their 7-0 start in 2015. The Blackhawks wasted little time against the undermanned Knights. After forcing an East Valley punt on the game's...
