Cheney golf coach Justin Fayant’s message to his team was simple prior to Wednesday’s final round of the State 3A boys tournament.

Cheney experienced many of the ups and downs that golf is fully capable of dishing out during Tuesday’s opening round of the State 3A boys tournament.

Lewis and Clark and Cheney have waged entertaining battles for Greater Spokane League 3A/4A boys’ golf supremacy for the last two years with the Tigers claiming the title this spring and the Blackhawks rising to the top in 2025.It’s helped sharpen both programs as they head to their respective state tournaments this week as legitimate title contenders.

Gonzaga slipped six spots to No. 18 in the final Associated Press college basketball poll after going 1-1 in the NCAA Tournament.

A look at Gonzaga pre- and post-Huff injury, the momentum-shifting sequence in the round-of-32 loss to Texas and offered perspectives on the Zags' 31-4 season.

Sean Miller kept pushing the right coaching buttons, starting with a momentum-changing sequence late in the first half.

The end of the line in the NCAA Tournament comes swiftly and often cruelly, especially when a winnable game isn’t decided until the closing seconds. And so it was for Gonzaga, which saw its hopes of advancing to the Sweet 16 fade away when Camden Heide hit his only shot of the game with just under 15 seconds left to seal the Texas Longhorns’ 74-68 upset victory.

Texas only made five 3-pointers, but they came at opportune times. Jordan Pope, an Oregon State transfer, hit late triples with 5:30 and 2:36 remaining, the latter extending the Longhorns lead to 69-64.
