  • Medical Lake volleyball collects first victory of year over Deer Park

    By PAUL DELANEY Staff Reporter It took a while but Medical Lake's volleyball team finally broke through into the win column last Thursday night. But what better place to begin trying to salvage their season than by starting the second half of the Great Northern League schedule with a 3-1 victory over Deer Park. It's a contrast to the season's opening match – a 3-0 loss by scores of 25-14, 25-22 and 25-13. The Cardinals took this one 25-16, 23-25, 25-11 and 25-20. They did w...

  • Cardinals start fast, finish slowly in 23-13 loss to Pullman

    By PAUL DELANEY Staff Reporter There's not much to dislike about the start the Medical Lake Cardinals had in last Friday's Great Northern League football game against Pullman. It's what followed that had coach Wes Hobbs wondering and maybe scratching his head after a 23-13 loss to the Greyhounds at Holliday Field. Medical Lake (0-3 GNL, 2-4 overall) will try to get back their winning ways that saw them claim their final two non-league games, to score their first GNL win this...

  • Crunch Time for Oct, 15, 2009

    M-m-m-man-n-n, f-f-f-fall is no time for b-b-b-base-b-b-b-ball By JOHN McCALLUM Editor Here's some advice, if you feel you need it. Never watch a Major League Baseball playoff game from Denver, Colo., in a house where the furnace doesn't work. And it's 25 degrees outside. That's what I did last Sunday night. With my furnace on the fritz (it's all better now) I tuned into the National League Division series between the defending World Series champs Philadelphia Phillies and the...

  • Cheney downs Clarkston, Medical Lake

    Blackhawks follow GNL CC victories with second-place finishes at Bullpup Invite By JOHN McCALLUM Editor Success continues to run with the Cheney cross country team as the boys and girls squads posted a pair of Great Northern League wins last Tuesday, and a couple of surprising finishes at the Bullpup Invitational on Saturday. The Blackhawks traveled to Clarkston to take on the Bantams and Medical Lake last Tuesday in league double-dual action, and emerged with two more wins. The boys downed Clarkston 22-39 and the Cardinals...

  • Cheney volleyball experiences the highs and lows of sports

    Lackluster play in loss at Pullman eclipsed by spirited five-game win over Riverside Rams By JOHN McCALLUM Editor Sometimes you never know how things will go in the sporting world. One moment you're up, the next moment you're down. The Cheney volleyball team experienced the reverse of that last week. The Blackhawks were, in the words of head coach Cassie Hare, “everything ugly” in a road-loss to Great Northern League leader Pullman (8-0, 12-1), and then two days later, poster kids for grit and determination in a 3-2 road win...

  • Short letdown leads to loss for Eastern against Weber State

    Wildcats score 12 points in final two minute of half to topple Eagles in Big Sky game, meet Grizzlies in Missoula By PAUL DELANEY Staff Reporter For more than 58 of the 60 minutes of last Saturday's football game with Weber State, the Eastern Washington University Eagles played some pretty good football. However, in the span of a mere 92 seconds at the end of the first half, the Wildcats scored 12 points that propelled them to a 31-13 Big Sky Conference win at Woodward Field....

  • Soccer Hawks virtually perfect in GNL victories over Pullman and Medical Lake

    Wins keep Cheney atop the Great Northern League By JOHN McCALLUM Editor If soccer has the baseball equivalent of a perfect game, the Cheney girls' team pitched two pretty close examples last week. The Blackhawks allowed Medical Lake no shots on goal in their 6-0 win on the road last Tuesday. Thursday at home against Pullman the Hawks dominated and controlled the Great Northern League's third place team for a 3-0 win, their eighth straight and sixth shutout of the season....

  • Blackhawks down Colville 39-28 with fourth quarter rally

    Cheney scores 29 points in final nine minutes to remain unbeaten in Great Northern League By JOHN McCALLUM Editor For Cheney head coach Jason Williams, Friday's home game with Colville truly was a tale of two halves – and then some. For the first two quarters, and well into the third, the Blackhawks seemed befuddled, having trouble containing the Indians' defensively, and failing to get much going offensively without a tremendous amount of effort. But late in the third, one c...

  • New digs for city's old stuff

    After eight months without a home, Cheney Historical Museum moves into new downtown location By BECKY THOMAS Staff Reporter A once empty storefront at 420 First St. is now home to the Cheney Historical Museum after eight months of displacement. It's a temporary home, but certainly better than the alternative for museum director Joan Mamanakis. “We're very grateful to be able to get the collection into an environmentally secure place,” she said. “But we're really excited to be...
