Warriors Kicking the Competition
Both the Walla Walla Community College men’s and women’s soccer teams are off to strong starts again this season. Not surprising considering the success of the program over the past several years. Both the men and women have won numerous division championships. The men were crowned as NWAACC champions in 2008 and the women claimed [...]
Warriors Wounded
Walla Walla Community College slipped to 0-3 in the NWAACC Eastern Region volleyball standings Wednesday night after being swept at home by Wenatchee Valley.

NFC West Whipped

Surprise!
Most of this weekend’s college football results were predictable. Oklahoma State routing Washington State. Oregon overwhelming New Mexico. Wisconsin toppling UNLV. Then there were results nobody saw coming. Sure, Florida kicked off the post-Tebow era with a win over Miami of Ohio. But could anybody have predicted that the Gators would have just 26 yards [...]
Dibble dumped
Former Major League pitcher Rob Dibble is now a former member of the Washington Nationals’ television broadcast team on MASN, the Associated Press reported on Thursday. Dibble, one of the three “Nasty Boy” relievers on Cincinnati’s 1990 World Series championship team, sealed his fate when he took issue with the injury situation of Washington rookie [...]
