Dylan Ledbetter's finger popped the filling balloon of Nicholls State last Saturday and the air gushed out of the Colonels. With his team trailing 14-3 and hoping not to be further behind as the first half came to a close, Ledbetter got his hand -perhaps just a finger - on an attempted 37-yard field goal by Lorran Fonseca. Whatever, it was just enough to send the ball caroming onto the red turf where it was first bobbled by Nzuzi Webster and finally scooped up by Kedrick... Full story

For a team that lost their top two scorers from a year ago, it certainly did not show for the Medical Lake girls basketball team. The Cardinals raced by the 2B Liberty Lancers 47-34 at home on Friday, Nov. 30, and then traveled to Okanogan the following afternoon where they crushed the Caribou Trail 1A Bulldogs 63-30....

Speed got the better of size, and nothing seemed to make up for "bus legs" for the Medical Lake boys who earned a split in their opening weekend of nonleague basketball play. The Cardinals opened play at home Friday, Nov. 30, earning a 73-65 win over the perennial 2B powers, Liberty Lancers. Saturday was a 150-mile one-way bumpy bus ride to face Okanogan, losing to the 1A Bulldogs from the Caribou Trail league, 76-68.... Full story
Little did Jim Townsend know that his 62-yard fumble return for a touchdown against Cal Poly in September would be up for an award in December. The Eastern Washington University junior defensive end out of Okanogan, Wash. High School is one of 18 finalists nationally for the Piesman Trophy (rhymes with Heisman), an annual award given by SB Nation to a “lineman who does something special with the ball in his hands.” Fans may vote for up to five of the finalists at: www...

Cheney High School’s girls basketball game with visiting Rogers of the Greater Spokane League was close for a while — until the jump ball to start the non-league contest took place. The Lady Blackhawks shutout the Pirates 27-0 in the first quarter, and again in the fourth period, 10-0, to cruise to a lopsided 75-8 win in their season opener last Tuesday. All nine varsity players got into the scorebook, with junior Maggie Smith and sophomore Emma Evans leading the way with 16 points each. No other information was ava...
Cheney commits 17 miscues in 64-54 non-league setback Fueled by the 3-point shooting of senior forward Gavyn Betholf, the visiting Rogers Pirates used a 16-8 second quarter run to open a 36-21 halftime margin en route to sending Cheney High School to a 64-54 defeat in the Blackhawks season opener last Wednesday. For Blackhawks third-year head coach Gregg Smith, the tale of the tape wasn’t in shooting, but in ball control. Specifically, 17 Cheney turnovers that came at inopportune times, although a stat one might expect in a...
Know who the first U.S.-based team was to win hockey’s coveted Stanley Cup? New York, Boston, Chicago or Detroit? Nope! The Seattle Metropolitans captured the “Cup” over 100 years ago at the culmination of the 1916-17 season, defeating the Montreal Canadiens 3 games to 1 in a series played entirely in Seattle. And two years later the “Mets” hosted Cup play again, only to have the worldwide flu pandemic cancel play. The National Hockey League board of governors met on Dec. 4...

Cheney sophomore Luke Ruby defeated his Deer Park opponent by major decision 14-4, at 126 pounds. Sophomore Dylan Straley kept the Blackhawk’s momentum going, winning his match by decision 3-1 at 145 pounds...
Used to be that the Football Championship Subdivision playoff committee sent all kinds of teams to Cheney that you had to Google to know where they were from. Southeast Missouri, Wagner and Jacksonville State come to mind. Now, in an effort to cut costs, they bracket as many teams as possible by geography. Thus, next up for Eastern Washington in the quarterfinals is UC Davis who wound up in a three-way tie for the 2018 Big Sky title. “We won’t take anything for granted and...
