hardest to get.
Thanks to a three-goal perfor-
mance by Jade McCauley and two
scores each from Chae Brown and
Jaisa Holland the Cheney girls'
soccer team can now put one in the
"W" category, getting their first win
of the season by knocking off visit-
ing Lakeside 7-3 last Tuesday. And
while new head coach Nels Radtke
isn't keen on moral victories, he felt
the Lady Hawks played one of their
better games so far in Fridav's 4-1
home loss to Lewis and Clark.
Holland was involved in five of
Cheney's seven scores against the
Eagles of the Northeast A League
Tuesday. She and Brown hooked up
on the Lady Hawks' first two goals,
both by Brown, in the ninth and
17th minutes. McCauley got into
the action with the next three goals,
a solo shot in the 22nd minute, one
in the 26th minute off Holland's
Lakeside finally scored three
minutes into the second half before
Holland found the net with goals in
the 44th minute, assist from Sierra
Dixon, and in the 53rd mintite, assist
by Brown. Lakeside added goals in
the 63rd and 64th minutes.
Cheney out shot the Eagles 13-12
.with goalkeeper Montana Andrews
making nine saves.
"It was nice to get the win,"
Radtke said. "Once we get that first
win, we get the experience from it,
the excitement from it and build on
it from there."
But while the win was good,
Radtke was a little worried how the
team finished. It was a tale of two
halves, the first won by Cheney but
the second going to the Eagles, 3-2.
Radtke thinks it might be a mindset
issue since he beheves his team is in
pretty good physical shape early in
the season.
4A Greater Spokane League.
LC took a 1-0 lead into the half
when Cheney failed to clear a
ball inside the 18-yard box in the
21st minute, allowing freshman
Haidyn Bulen to send a shot into
the net.
MacKenzie Flynn crossed
a shot from left to right just
outside the 6-yard box past an
outstretched Andrews to make
it 2-0 in the 47th minute. Cheney
answered four minutes later,
with Holland passing to Brown
who floated a 12-yard shot into
the left part of the goal to make
it 2-1.
LC regained their two-point
lead on a Cheney own goal in
the 57th minute, a shot Andrews
stopped and appeared to control
but theofficials ruled it had just
crossed the goal line. The Tigers

Blackhawks turn in good times at Highlander
By JOHN McCALLUM
Editor
After weeks of lonely road
work Cheney cross country
teams finally got to test them-
selves against runners wearing
different colored jerseys at last
Saturday's 26-team Highlander
Invitational at Shadle Park High
School.
The Blackhawks' boys com-
peted against runners in their
own class standing, while the
girls ran in three races: freshmen,
a combined race for schools with
under 600 enrollment and JV
squads from larger schools and
finally the varsity race.
Junior Kyle Lerch posted the
fastest time for the Cheney boys,
sixth in the junior race with a
time of 13 minutes, 30 seconds on
th e re latyely fla t but sun-baked
Js,miie Course. Head coach Jay
"{ii :sai:d it Was s011d per-
formance, noting Lerch turned
in a fairly fast 5:07 mark at the
first mile, eventually finishing
47 seconds behind race winner
Nicholas Hauger from Shadle.

in the junior boys race and had

the team's fourth fastest mark
with a time of 14 minutes.
Kameron Galm had the high-
est finish for the Cheney boys,
fourth in the sophomore race with
the team's second-fastest time at
13:40. Corey Klotz-Brooks posted
the third fastest time for the Black-
hawks, finishing 11th overall .in
the senior boys race in 13:41, well
back of Mead's Andrew Gardner
who annihilated the field with a
time of 12:16, 31 seconds ahead
of the next highest finisher. To-
gether with Matt Duray and Jesse
Hallstrom, both of whom turned
in times of 14:15 for fifth and sixth
team marks, Klotz-Brooks helped
lead Cheney to a third-place over-
all team finish.
Derek Denenny turned in a time
of 14:27 in the sophomore boys
race to round out the Blackhawk
boys' top seven. Martin noted that
sophomore Steaven Zachman also
had a good performance, finishing
14th overall in 14:53.
Senior Sanne Holland led the
Cheney girls" varsity team, nmning
neck-and-neck with Richland's
Lindsey Bradley and Kamiakin's
Megan Beauchene before the
'Tri-Cities duo pulled away late
to duel for the varsity individual
title, won by Bradley with a time
of 14:51 Holland was third with a
time of 15:02.
Mariah Brenton was second
for the Blackhawks with a time
of 16:55, with Anika Kuula third
in 17:44, Johanna Sherman fourth
in 17:48 and sophomore Mattie
McNair the fifth scorer with a time
of 18:58.
"It was a good effort," Martin
said of both Blackhawks squads
Highlander performances. "I'm
proud of the effort. That's what
we're really looking for in that
first race."
Cheney continues its invita-
tional schedule this Saturday, tak-
ing part in the Mead Invitational
at Mead High School in north
Spokane. Whereas the Highlander
course was 2.5 miles, the Mead
course is the standard 3.1 mile,
5,000 meters the Blackhawks will
run during the regular season, and
should give them an indication of
where their race conditioning is
early on.

Andrews making six saves.
Radtke felt the Lady Hawks play
against LC was a much better perfor-
mance than their season-opening 7-1
loss to Ferris, adding the team is a bit
of "a puzzle" right now in trying to
put the pieces together for success.
The Lady Hawks will have to
put everything together and con-
tlnue to improve against opponents
who count now, opening the Great
Northern League schedule this. week
with a pair of road games. Cheney
travels to Deer Park Tuesday to
face the Stags, 1-0 after a 4-3 win
over Riverside, and then to Colville
Thursday, facing an Indians team
starts 0-1 following an 8-2 loss to
Idaho 3A Lakeland.
Radtke said he's excited to get
league underway finally. Right
now he's more focused on the Lady
Hawks play than he is on coming
league opponents.
"That needs to be our major con-
cern," Radtke said. "Then in games
we can make some changes. I think
we can do some special things this
season."

thing, this time sprinting 70 yards
for the score that held up, giving
Cheney a 42-0 halftime lead. The
Blackhawks added a 12-yard TD
run by Tom Trude in the third
quarter and a 9-yard run by
Austin Kline in the fourth for the
game's final points under a run-
ning clock.
Williams was pleased with his
team's performance, noting blow-
out games such as last Friday can
be hard to play and coach, and can
result in injuries if players don't
p!ay hard. But after the East Val-
ley (Yakiina) heartbreaker, it was
good to get the win if just for the
mental aspect.
The Blackhawks (1-1) face a
stern test this Friday, traveling to
Rathdrum, Idaho to take on 4A
classification Lakeland (0-2), 38-14
losers last week at East Vallev.
It's the home opener for the
Hawks, who lost in the first
round of the playoffs last year to
Middleton, and the third time the
two schools have met in the past
four years. In 2008 Cheney won at
home 30-10 and in 2009 opened a
27-7 lead on the road before Lake-
land rallied for a 34-33 win.
Williams said the Hawks "play
fast" on offense and employ a
lot of misdirection out of their
Wing-T set. Defensively they
like to stunt and crash players in
and out of the line of scrimmage,
somewhat akin to the "Desert
Swarm" defense of the 1991-94
Arizona Wildcats.
Whatever they run, Williams
said it's a team that plays hard
from whistle to whistle.
"We'd better be ready to play
four quarters," he said. "It'll be a
stiff test."

cOntinued from page 1 with 15. Lowe said they were suc-
Lakeland Middle School and then
the high school.
Individually Gill and junior
outside hitter Ashley Seiler led
the Lady Hawks offensively
with .240 and .247 hitting per-
centages for the tournament.
Gill had her best effort against
Kamiah, notching nine kills in 14
attempts against one error for a
.571 percentage while Seiler led
the Lady Hawks in their near
upset of LC with seven kills in 15
attempts and no errors for a .466
percentage.
Overall Cheney had 113 kills
fora .183 percentage, a figure that
could have been higher Lowe
said if you toss out the Priest
River match. Cheney served
well with 36 aces total and senior
Kendall Case leading the team
cessful at times in serving well
enough to push their opponents
out of their offensive rhythm,
but also sometimes served to the
wrong people; such as a team's
best passer, when there were
other options.
Case led Cheney in setting
with 81 assists, with junior setter
Kinsey Pease having 15. Lowe
said the discrepancy was because
early in the tournament they
used a two-setter formation, a
6-2, while later they went with
one in a 5-1, moving Pease to a
hitter slot.
Cheney had seven solo blocks
and 12 assisted blocks for the
tournament and added 111 digs
defensively, with Seiler leading
with 28 and Pease adding 20
Lowe said the Lady Hawks
continued to grow in many areas
at the jamboree, improving in
specific parts of their game that
they focused on in competition.
Right now the team is working on
transitioning better from offense
to defense.
"We keep showing improve-
ments, and keep working on
parts of our game," Lowe said.
"We're never going to stop grow-
ing."
Cheney turns its attention to
the Great Northern League with
its first two league matches this
week, Tuesday on the road at
Deer Park (1-0) and Thursday at
Colville in the Indians' season
.opener. Colville also competed
Saturday at Lakeland, going un-
beaten in pool play and downing
Idaho 5A Lake City to win the
overall tournament title.
