Eastern Washington’s season opener fell short, but the receivers stepped up in a big way—especially redshirt sophomore Drew Carlson, who hauled in nine catches for 75 yards in his first start. Quarterback Nate Bell praised Carlson’s performance, while Jaxon Branch and Wesley Garrett also shined with touchdowns and key contributions. The defense showed grit, led by safety Bryce Smith’s 14 tackles, and linebackers hit career highs. Special teams had costly errors—including a muffed punt and a kickoff return TD—but kicker Soren McKee nailed a career-high 53-yarder. Despite the loss, the Eagles found plenty to build on as they head into the next game.

Spokane Velocity clawed back from an early deficit to stun Westchester SC 3-1 on the road, their second away win of the season and a major confidence boost. After conceding in the 14th minute, they struck back instantly via Neco Brett’s penalty, then Shavon John-Brown put them ahead before halftime. Despite a late goal by Dean Guezen and solid defensive work that stifled Westchester’s top scorer, Andre Lewis sealed it with a stunning long-range strike in the 72nd minute — his first goal after a controversial offsides call. This gritty performance proves Spokane can rise when it matters most.

Eastern Washington started firing on all cylinders, leading 24-3 late in the first half with Nate Bell setting personal bests and Soren McKee nailing a career-long 53-yard field goal. But Northern Arizona roared back with two quick touchdowns — including a kickoff return and an interception return — to cut the lead to seven at halftime. The Lumberjacks then dominated the second half, controlling the clock and scoring three touchdowns while Eastern’s offense, though statistically superior, couldn’t overcome the momentum shift. A controversial sideline call and an incomplete pass on the final play sealed the deal as Northern Arizona pulled off a 34-27 upset. Bell admitted miscommunication with his receiver on that last drive. Now, EWU turns its focus to a tough nonconference slate: home opener vs. Northern Iowa, followed by road games against South Dakota and Washington — a brutal stretch, but the team believes this loss was avoidable.

From walk-on to scholarship standout, Branden Ganashamoorthy’s journey through injuries, coaching changes, and relentless grind is finally paying off. Once sidelined by a broken ankle—ironically on April Fool’s Day—he’s emerged stronger, faster, and more focused than ever. With ten catches and one TD to his name, he’s quietly led the team in run-blocking for WRs while battling for reps in a stacked receiver room. Raised on a farm where hard work was non-negotiable, Ganashamoorthy’s discipline and hunger to win have carried him through years of behind-the-scenes hustle. Now, entering his fourth season with momentum building at camp, he’s running with first and second units, showing explosive speed and strength. Can this breakout year be his? The answer may come next Sunday when Washington State takes the field.

The Mariners keep stumbling at the finish line—another game derailed by a wild pitch that cost them a lead, sloppy baserunning, and a quiet offense after the fourth. Rookie Kade Anderson showed flashes of promise, holding the Blue Jays scoreless for four innings before faltering in the fifth. Meanwhile, Emerson Hancock’s groin tweak adds tension to the rotation, while bullpen hopefuls Matt Brash and Cooper Criswell are inching closer to returning. With injuries, momentum swings, and roster tweaks swirling, the team’s focus is on stability—and avoiding more last-inning heartbreaks.

Simon Cowell’s out for a few weeks after back surgery, making way for comedy legend Kenan Thompson to fill his judge’s seat in the AGT quarterfinals — joining Mel B, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara as the show gears up for its Sept. 23 finale. This isn’t the first time Simon’s dealt with back issues — he had major surgery after a 2020 e-bike accident — so this is just a routine follow-up. With guest judges like Nikki Glaser and Emma Bunton already on board, expect more familiar faces as the season wraps up.

Bears are flooding into towns across the West, especially Colorado, as drought wipes out their natural food sources and humans encroach on their habitats. With over 7,000 sightings this year, these hungry black bears are raiding trash, wandering near schools, and even breaking into homes—leading to hundreds of bear deaths via euthanasia, car strikes, or shootings. Experts warn that without intervention, bears may lose their fear of humans and stop hibernating altogether. Officials urge residents to secure trash and pet food, while conservationists push for proactive measures like early reporting to safely deter bears. As fall approaches and bears ramp up their search for calories, the situation could worsen—unless drought eases and people step up.
