Trio of Eagles earn All-American honors A lot has been made of Cooper Kupp’s records, but Clay DeBord made his mark on the Eastern Washington University football record book as well. The senior offensive tackle from Asotin, Wash., was selected to the STATS FCS All-America Team Dec. 13, joining Kupp on the first team. DeBord played in 52 games in his EWU career and started a school record 51, breaking the previous record of 50 set by Ronnie Hamlin (2011-14). Last week, the College Sports Madness All-America squad featured K...
It will be Eagles versus Eagles in a much-needed home game for the Eastern Washington University men’s basketball team. After a difficult and winless three-game East Coast road swing, the 5-6 Eastern Eagles return home to face the 5-3 Morehead State Eagles of the Ohio Valley Conference on Thursday (Dec. 17) at 6 p.m. It will be “Santa Swoop Night” on Thursday, with EWU’s mascot dressed in a Santa Claus suit and available to pose for photos with fans at halftime. This will be one of only two home games for the Eagles in an 1...
Slow starts and finishes did in the Medical Lake girl's basketball team in a pair of games last week. The Cardinals dropped a nonleague contest 48-27 to Lind-Ritzville-Sprague Dec. 8 and then lost their Northeast A League opener to Freeman, 46-30, Friday, Dec. 11. In both games offense was slim in the first and fourth quarters, which decided each outing. The Cardinals (0-1 NEA, 1-2 overall) were outscored 11-5 in the first and 15-4 in the fourth versus LRS. Likewise, Freeman...

Considering Medical Lake’s first dual wrestling match of the 2015-16 season was against defending State 1A champion Freeman, and the Cardinals are young, relatively inexperienced and debuting a rookie head coach, there were a lot of things that could go really wrong. Instead, the Cardinals 45-21 loss to the Scotties was a successful display of where Medical Lake is headed in the sport, head coach Josh Edmondson said. “It would’ve been easy for my boys to look at their first...
The Cheney High gymnastics team kicked off their inaugural season at their first Greater Spokane League meet, Dec. 10, finishing fourth out of five teams with 137.425 points. Central Valley won the meet with a score of 162.575 Olivia Hovater (28.700), Alexis Miller (28.675) and Katie Clemens (28.500) led their team and finished 14-15-16 in the all-around scores. Hovater tied for seventh place in the vault with an 8.000 while Miller tied for 10th with a 7.900. Miller finished ninth in both the uneven bars (7.275) and the...
When asked, new Cheney High School girls' basketball head coach JT Johnson will tick off a laundry list of areas where the young Lady Blackhawks need to improve if they are to enjoy some success on the hardwoods this season. Better execution, cut back on turnovers, improve rebounding, they're all up there, but none higher than the one area of basketball just about every coach agrees they would like to see their team excel. "The biggest thing I've got to do is get the girls to...
The Cheney High boys swim team started the season with a loss to Selah, 108-61, Dec. 10. Despite the loss there were still many positives from the meet, including Scott Nadeau qualifying for state in the 200-yard individual medley, which he won in 2 minutes and 10.85 seconds. He also qualified for state in the 100 butterfly after winning the race in 57.46. “This meet was interesting,” head coach Jennifer Hochwalt said. “There were a lot of kids who were faster this year than they were last year at this time.” Trevor Babcock...
For a change when the every two year process of reclassification of the state’s high schools circles back into view, Medical Lake athletics director Chris Spring is breathing pretty easy. The same might not be said for the Northeast A League where the Cardinals now play and have done so since 2012. For the next month both Spring and NEA secretary Art Bickler will be monitoring things over at the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association until Jan. 13, 2016 the last day f...
The idea behind scheduling preseason games in any sport is to help improve skills when the games really count. That strategy paid big dividends for Medical Lake last Friday night, Dec. 11 in their Northeast A League boy's basketball season opener. The Cardinals won twice at home, Dec. 8 in nonleague play versus Lind-Ritzville-Sprague 63-49, but more importantly, 46-41 against Freeman. "What helped us the most was they had shooters, too," Medical Lake head coach Arnold Brown...
Whether or not the Cheney High School boys' basketball team enjoys success on the court this season will depend on a lot of factors, some outside of the Blackhawks control. But one thing might have been evident to fans attending last week's three-game home stand - and that is new head coach Gregg Smith's squad should be exciting to watch. The Blackhawks flew to a two-game winning streak, routing Deer Park 69-42, Dec. 8, and Idaho's Timberlake 55-39, Dec. 11 before being...
