Sometime in the middle of drills, I met an unsuspecting Coach Mike Leach around mid-field. The coach was talking to one of his assistants, assessing the crush of estrogen surrounding them in the practice bubble. When I approached him, he automatically put out his hand to shake mine - and, I told him I had some plays that he could use next year.

He smiled. He laughed. He asked for it.

The womens football clinic is a Mike Leach tradition. It's new to Pullman, but something he did during his years at Texas Tech that grew into something of a phenomenon. 500 women would turn out to learn about the program, meet the coaches and run drills with the players on the field. Now, he's brought the tradition to Pullman, perfectly scheduled on Moms Weekend. If Saturday's clinic was any indication, it's about to become a phenomenon on the Palouse as well.

All four suspects in the assault on WSU instructor David Warner have now been arrested and charged.

At 9:20 Friday morning, 22-year-old Robert D. Bean turned himself in at the Whitman County Sheriff's office in Colfax.� He was arrested there by Pullman detectives and booked into Whitman County Jail on a first-degree assault charge.

Pullman police also arrested 22-year-old John "Matt" Cabanos-Soriano Friday morning.� Cabanos-Soriano appeared at the Pullman Police Department at about 2:20 a.m. and was immediately taken into custody and booked on first-degree assault charges.

Cabanos-Soriano is one of two suspects who were supposed to turn themselves in Thursday night, but failed to appear.�

Joshua Nantz, 23, faces a first-degree assault charge from the incident outside a Pullman bar on March 30. He is one of three suspects accused of hitting Dr. David Warner, who is continuing his recovery at Sacred Heart Medical Center.�� The fourth suspect, Madeline Fouts, is charged with rendering criminal assistance and lying to police.

Family members said Thursday morning Warner is conscious and alert. He has been upgraded to serious condition.

Supporters of Dr. David Warner, the WSU instructor beaten by several individuals on March 30, report he is awake and sitting up.

On the Facebook page created to support him with his medical bills, Warner's sister, Lisa Warner Askham, confirmed the news of his condition.

"My brother [sic], Dr. David Warner, is awake and sitting up. They are conducting medical assessments. He is very tired, but fully conscious! Miracles happen! Thank you for all of your thoughts, prayers and healing energy!"

Since the news was passed to fans of the "Rally for David Warner" Facebook group, there has been an outpouring of well wishes from a number of the 2,346 fans of the group.

A fundraiser, set up to help offset the costs of his medical bills, has exceeded its initial goal. The group set a goal of $5,000 but so far has raised $17,597.
