  • Riding high in the Big Sky

    PAUL DELANEY|Updated Nov 21, 2018

    Eastern Washington added a large exclamation point, and a big dose of hurt on the Portland State Vikings, in the Eagles return to the top of the Big Sky Conference football standings. Scoring the game's first 14 points in less than nine minutes, and then outscoring PSU 27-7 in the third quarter, Eastern rolled to a 74-23 win at Hillsboro Stadium in Hillsboro, Ore. The win earned them a three-way tie for the conference championship with Weber State and UC Davis, all with 7-1... Full story

  • Eastern brings December football back to Cheney

    John McCallum, Managing Editor|Updated Nov 21, 2018

    So, here we go again. Eastern Washington University’s No.3 seed in the Football Championship Subdivision 24-team playoffs bodes well for a return trip to the national title game in Frisco, Texas if it weren’t for one thing. We have to play other teams to get there. Be that as it may, the Eagles have never let good competition get in their way of exciting post-season runs — even if the last four times have come up short of a trip to Texas. With a No. 3 seed, we avoid having a possible road go through Fargo, N.D. But it could...
