The bulk of their travel is behind them in the rearview mirror so now the Eastern Washington University football will try keep momentum gained from two straight road victories playing three out of their final four regular season games at Roos Field. The Eagles’ latest victory was a certain heart-stopper, 43-41 as Jordan Dascalo kicked a 44-yard field goal with no time remaining to rally the Eagles past Northern Colorado in Greeley. “Ultimately it took us to go down and mak...

Second half struggles cost the Medical Lake girl’s soccer victories last week and likely any chance of postseason play next. While the Cardinals played solidly in the first halves of their two Northeast A League matches in losses of 5-1 at home to Newport (5-6 NEA, 7-7 overall) last Tuesday and 5-0 on the road at Freeman (8-2, 9-4) Oct. 22, second half offensive explosions did them in. The Cardinals (2-10, 2-12) struck first with the usual combination as Makayla Geiger took a...
If the Medical Lake girl’s volleyball team wants to reach the postseason, their fate rests in their own hands. Following a pair of 3-0 Northeast A League losses last week to Newport at home and Freeman on the road, the team’s sixth consecutive losses, the Cards face a pair of winnable matches, at home this past Tuesday against winless Riverside (0-12 NEA, 0-14 overall) and on the road tonight, Oct. 29 at Chewelah (3-9, 3-10). “Last week we had a tough game against Freem...
Medical Lake broke into the win column last Friday, scoring a 41-19 Northeast A League football victory over the Riverside Rams on the road and it left one to wonder what if running back Dawson Lack had been healthy the entire season? The Cardinals (1-5 NEA, 1-7 overall) got a 103-yard, three-touchdown night from the senior whose season was initially cut short when he broke his thumb in the second game of the season against St. Maries, Idaho, Sept. 11. But Lack did not exit...

In a way, last Saturday's shootout loss to Pullman in the regular-season finale for both teams exemplified the Cheney girls' soccer team's season - one break shy of success. After finishing 80 minutes of regulation and 10 minutes of two overtime periods, the Lady Blackhawks and Greyhounds were tied at 3 with Pullman preparing to take its fifth shot in the first round of five. Needing a goal to win, Anna Mari Petrino's shot struck the crossbar almost dead center and went...

After authorities issued an arrest warrant, he turned...

The Cheney High volleyball team regained its place as the top team in the Great Northern League after a 3-2 win over West Valley, Oct. 22. The game scores were 25-27, 25-18, 22-25, 25-10 and 15-14. Head coach Heather Zorrozua switched the starting lineup, which she said “got the team off balance a little bit” at the beginning of the match. “They started to gain their momentum at the end of the first set,” Zorrozua said. “At one point in the last set, we were down 14-12. It goes to show that you can’t overlook any opponent in...
To win as a team in cross country, it’s all about the spread. That time gap between your top runner and the No. 5 placer, since in cross country only the top five out of seven on a team score, can be important. The higher your first runner places, and the closer the No. 5 is, the better your chances at winning. For the Cheney boys at the District 7 championships Saturday afternoon in Clarkston, that time spread was 35 seconds. Coupled with Blackhawks junior Drake Johnson’s third-place finish, it meant the Cheney boys wer...
