The Blackhawks (0-8 GSL) stayed close to the Panthers (4-3, 4-4 all games) for the first two quarters, trailing 21-14 at halftime. A pair of touchdowns to Camden Collins from Sam Coffin kept Cheney in it as the t...

"The girls got a quality win against U-Hi," Coach Derek Slaughter said, referencing the Blackhawks' 27-30 win. "We used our 6-7 runners who are freshman to win against a good U-Hi team."

CHENEY – The Blackhawks' slow pitch softball team's strong finish to the 2023 season ended Friday, Oct. 13, in a one-game tiebreaker playoff loss, 11-5, to Ferris. Cheney, which had won four-of-five games to land in a tie in Greater Spokane League standings with the Saxons for the final playoff spot, had numerous times when they left runners in scoring position.

MEDICAL LAKE – The Cardinal girls soccer team concludes what will likely be more of a forgettable than memorable season Oct. 19 at home vs. Lakeside (Nine Mile Falls) for Senior Day. The game takes place under the lights of Holliday Field at 6 p.m. It is an understatement to say this has been a long season for the winless (0-16) Cardinals, but for large parts of the season that have played entire matches shorthand. “We have had a few games with 11 to start,” head coach Dan C...
Cheney cross country might have had a “bye week” from Greater Spokane League competition, but the Blackhawk runners hardly sat around and relaxed. Athletes were scattered over a pair of notable races including the Nike Hole-In-The- Wall Invite in Lakewood, Wash. and the Pasco Big Cross on Saturday, Oct. 7. Among the 26 teams assembled at Hole-In-The-Wall were the 10th and 16th ranked teams in the nation, reported head coach Derek Slaughter. “The boys ran valiantly movin...
CHENEY -- With the luxury of having a top-notch facility in town at Eastern Washington University, Cheney High School offers swimming as a varsity sport when no others in the immediate area have. It has afforded not only Cheney students, but others from area schools the opportunity to compete. Coach Jennifer Hochwalt's roster has 13 swimmers from Cheney, but the team's numbers swell to about 20 when co-op athletes from other area schools are added. Attending Mead High School,...
MEDICAL LAKE -Running its lone race at home this season proved to be beneficial for Medical Lake Cross Country as the Cardinal boys and girls both ran to victory.

EWAN — Rock Lake will receive 27,000 rainbow trout this fall, courtesy of the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. Spokeswoman Staci Lehman said the rainbow trout come from Lyons Ferry Fish Hatchery and cost approximately 4 to 5 cents per stocked fry, or fingerling.

CHENEY - Playing a scoreless first quarter in their Homecoming football game Oct. 6 against Ridgeline was short-lived for the Cheney Blackhawks.

The teams traded possessions through the first quarter, but Ridgeline scored on the first play of the second quarter with the first of three Brayden Allen touchdowns.

CHENEY - Winning three of their last four games, Cheney slow pitch softball has worked itself back into playoff contention. Cheney (4-7) is tied with Ferris following a 7-6 victory Oct. 9 over the Saxons. The Blackhawks hosted East Valley (3-7) on Oct. 10 in the GSL finale with all kinds of post-season implications. Should Cheney and Ferris‚ who played Gonzaga Prep, remain tied, there would be a tiebreaker Oct. 12 for the sixth and final seed. The Cheney resurgence has been k...
In March of 1986 the sports department at KXLY TV was overwhelmed with more reporting than they had time for on the air. There were the final days of State B Tournament at the Coliseum in Spokane. And scattered across the region were the teams in the Greater Spokane League and many others in the smaller schools. “It’s just basketball everywhere, boys and girls,” recalled Rick Lukens, one of the sports reporters at the time. With sports director Bud Nameck out of town, Lukens’ co-worker, Dennis Patchin, approached management t...
