Sophomore Jayda Noble scored 19 points to lead the Medical Lake girls to a 62-29 pounding of Shadle Park Nov. 29 in the season opener for both teams.

It was accidental by nature, Hachtel said, "It was a great accident; the experience our boys are having, especially our seniors," he said. Not only did Medical... Full story
By a really weird coincidence, Larry Weir now knows he reached a milestone Dec. 3 at KeyArena in Seattle. The long-time Eastern Washington University radio announcer called his 1,000th Eagle men’s basketball or football game that day, a fact which was discovered a day later by happenstance. Weir recently concluded his 27th season as the football voice of the Eagles, whose games are broadcast on 700-AM ESPN. What the 2015 and 2016 State of Washington Sportscaster of the Year didn’t know was how many exact games he’s misse...

The Chamber has been located in Airway Heights before and it was just as relevant to the Cheney businesses as it was when the office was in Cheney. The Cheney Merchants Association is important for the Cheney re...
