Good morning, Spokane Valley.

Spokane County Commissioners announced on Wednesday that upgrades to street lighting and a pedestrian-activated crosswalk beacon will soon improve safety at the intersection near Mead High School where Eva Allen was fatally struck while crossing—a change welcomed by her grieving family.

Sprague Ave, Falco's Heating, Cooling and Electrical evolved from a fruit stand into a family-run business offering heating, cooling, electrical services and remodels. Fourth-generation owners Grant and Andrea continue to adapt the product lineup to meet changing local needs.

Former Gonzaga MVP Adam Morrison recalls his famed scorer's table leap in 2006 during a near-upset win as he reflects on that historic game - the Zags compete in their final WCC Tournament today before joining a new conference next season.

Gonzaga will bid farewell to the West Coast Conference Tournament next week as the top-seeded Zags (28-3) open with a 6 p.m. semifinal on ESPN from Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, facing either Portland, San Francisco or Oregon State before moving to the Pac-12.

In 1994-95, the Zags overcame an 0-6 start with John Rillie's strong scores and a rally in the WCC tournament that marked a turning point for Gonzaga (a proud chapter in local sports history).

Today, Gonzaga women aim to reduce turnovers + boost defense before facing Santa Clara at 2:30 p.m. in Las Vegas during the WCC Tournament.

The team seeks to recover from a close overtime loss in their regular-season finale.
