Whoa. Check out this video sent in by viewer, Yvonne Reppe. She lives on Lake Roosevelt in Lincoln, Wa. She says she took this video at 5:30 this morning. Pretty incredible.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver issued the following statement today regarding the passing of Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke:
“We are devastated to learn of the passing of Brandon Clarke. As one of the longest-tenured members of the Grizzlies, Brandon was a beloved teammate and leader who played the game with enormous passion and grit. Our thoughts and sympathies are with Brandon’s family, friends and the Grizzlies organization.”
Brandon Clarke still holds Gonzaga program records for highest field goal percentage in a season (68.7%), most offensive rebounds in a season (114) and at 6’8” is tied with 7’1” Chet Holmgren for the most blocks in a single season with 117. Special, special talent gone too soon.
UPDATE MAY 7: Scaling work continues on a slope above SR 20 near Diablo Lake. Crews use hand tools, air compression (and a little muscle) to send loose rock down the slope.
SR 20 remains closed from MP 130-156. More info in our latest blog update https://t.co/LIFhEa21hR
After 23 hours of bear crawling the Bloomsday course, Brenton Sconce has finally completed his remarkable journey. All to raise awareness and money for The Bear Foundation. Unbelievable spirit and tenacity to complete his goal. Way to go @BrentonSconce
BREAKING: Gonzaga has landed 7’1” monster transfer center Massamba Diop. The projected 2027 lottery pick averaged 13.6 points per game last season at ASU. If Braden Huff comes back healthy, Gonzaga will once again have the scariest frontcourt in the nation. Massive, massive get.
Michael Chiesa goes out on top!!!! One of the finest fighters who has ever trained in Spokane ends his career on a 4 fight win streak with a first round submission of Niko Price! What a career @MikeMav22
The governor of Ohio reports that 3 of the 6 service members killed in the KC-135 crash in Iraq were with the Ohio National Guard's 121st Air Refueling Wing.
I have been advised by Ohio's Adjutant General that three of the six servicemembers killed during the air refueling mission in Iraq were Ohioans deployed with the Ohio Air National Guard's 121st Air Refueling Wing. Fran and I are deeply saddened by this news and offer our sincere condolences to their families.
Sadly, CENTCOM now says six crew members killed in the refueling aircraft crash in Western Iraq.

Gonzaga is inevitable. The Zag men win their final WCC Tournament Title. Graham Ike had a great second half. Tyon Grant-Foster was terrific. But it was the freshman duo of Davis Fogle and Super Mario Saint-Supéry that carried the Zags to a second straight WCC tourney championship
REDEMPTION FOR THE GONZAGA WOMEN!!!! After three straight years of heartbreak in Las Vegas, @ZagWBB is headed back to the NCAA Tournament. They win the WCC title for the first time since 2022!
Say what you will about Gonzaga, the semifinal bye, the talent and competition of the other teams in the WCC, to see a school make 29 consecutive conference tournament championship games and never slip up one time is simply remarkable. Mark Few never missed a WCC title game ever.
Adrik Jenkin postgame: “We knew we were playing for something bigger than basketball. We were playing for Coach. I know he’s happy and smiling and that nervousness is gone away so a great way to end the year.” Coach Jenkin can rest easy 💜
