Greater Spokane League football approaches the mid-point of the season (for some teams) which led me to project out the remainder of the season and predict an outcome. Several key games remain that will determine the fortunes of league teams - for Lewis and Clark,…
COUGARS • UPDATE: 11:20 A.M. Another short and quick Tuesday morning post, and that's after running down all the USC stories I could find in Southern California. Read on.
Not a whole lot of time, but a few items of note from Robb Akey's morning teleconference. The coach is planning on redshirting sophomore tailback Troy Vital. He was a nice addition to last year's team, but with the glut of running backs -- and…
The Spokane Chiefs split a pair of games in Prince George over the weekend - which prompted Gregg Drinnan to ask: Is it a split when the Chiefs picked up three points to the Cougars two?Spokane won the season-opener Friday 6-3 (the Prince George Citizen…
COUGARS There is actually a little frost on the roofs across the way, which scares me just a little. How much longer until snow starts dropping from the sky? Is it too early to put on the snow tires? Of course it is. But it's…
