Venky Jois turned in his second consecutive 38-point night last Saturday, Dec. 6 leading Eastern Washington to an 87-75 nonleague basketball victory over Seattle University at Key Arena. Eastern, which remains on the road for the next four games, is now 7-1 for the first time since 1977 when EWU began a 25-4 NAIA campaign with a 15-1 mark. The Eagles next game is at San Francisco tonight, Thursday, Dec. 11 and at the University of Washington Dec. 14, a game televised on the...
It was replays 2, Eastern Washington 0 last Wednesday night at Reese Court. One of the consultations of video was simply to affirm an out of bounds play, but the last of those officials' reviews was a crusher. It confirmed Ellie Tinkle's no-look, heavily contested, desperation shot from the baseline did indeed leave her hand just before time expired, giving Gonzaga University a 61-60 nonconference women's basketball victory over Eastern Washington. That sent one of the loudest...
EWU’s Jois shares Big Sky Player of Week honors Eastern Washington’s Venky Jois and Idaho’s Mike Scott have been selected as the Co-Big Sky Conference men’s basketball Players of the Week.

Jois also pulled down eight rebounds, blocked three shots and had two steals. Jois made 13-of-18 shots from the floor and 12-of-15 from the free-throw line. It marked Jois’ second cons...
The head-coaching debut of Medical Lake girls’ head coach Kyle Lundberg came with a thud in a 60-34 nonleague loss to the 2B North Northwest Christian Crusaders last Saturday, Dec. 6. The Cardinals stayed with the Crusaders through the first quarter, trailing 24-15, but the offense went away in the second quarter and Medical Lake trailed 39-24 at the half. Cassidy Hagel led Medical Lake in scoring with 11 points while Maleeka Wagner added 10 points and 13 rebounds for a d...
Defense was disappointing and turnovers a turning point. That was the short version of Medical Lake’s season-opening boys’ non-league 68-55 basketball loss last Saturday, Dec. 6 at home to 2B North member Northwest Christian. “D isn’t there right now,” Cardinals’ head coach Arnold Brown said. “We’ve got some more leaks to fix I guess.” Trailing 30-24 at the half, the Cardinals (0-1) had closed to within three points near the end of the third quarter. But the Crusaders went on...

The Cheney High wrestling team had a busy start to the season as they got in some early licks at a Dec. 3 jamboree against both Shadle Park and Kettle Falls, then traveled north for the Deer Park Invite three days later. Several Blackhawks got their first taste of victory at the jamboree. Team captain Kodi Smith and Garrett Pederson both scored pins in the third period of their matches. Cameron Wiseman went 2-0 for the evening, pinning both of his opponents in the third...
Both the Cheney High boys and girls basketball teams opened their 2014-2015 seasons with a five-day home stand in which they posted identical 1-2 records.

Against the 2B classification Indians the Blackhawks' boys built a 38-22 halftime lead and never looked back. Brett...
If the Illinois State Redbirds from Normal sound vaguely familiar they should. ISU made the trek to Cheney Dec. 8, 2012 where they absorbed a 51-35 loss to the Eagles in another quarterfinal Football Championship Subdivision playoff game. Fifth-seeded ISU brings an 11-1 record into Saturday’s 1 p.m. kickoff at Roos Field to meet the No. 4 seed, Eastern, 11-2 following a 37-20 second round playoff win last Saturday in Cheney. Illinois State was a 41-21 winner in the second r...
NASCAR calls it their “silly season.” That’s a time when drivers are jumping from race team to race team in advance of the new season. It’s a time when stock car fans speculate who will end up where. College football doesn’t seem to have an official name for the time of the season when coaches come and go. For lack of something official, call it the “coaching carrousel.” It generally starts spinning each November and rewards new hires with multi-million dollar contracts — o...
Defense set the tone early in last Saturday's Football Championship Subdivision Playoff game between No. 5-ranked Eastern Washington and No. 12 University of Montana. And in the end it was defense that fully sealed the Eagles' 37-20 win over the Grizzlies at chilly, and sometimes rainy, Roos Field before a crowd of 7,919. Eastern, 11-2, moves on to the FCS quarterfinals versus Illinois State (11-1) this Saturday at 1 p.m. at Roos. The Eagles defeated the Redbirds 51-35 in...
