Sports scheduling - so far

 

Last updated 12/17/2014 at 10:20am



With the Lake Roosevelt gym in the midst of getting a new roof, it hasn’t taken much over the last two weeks to send sports schedules into disarray, with schedules changing sometimes daily.

The reconstruction of the leaky roof couldn’t be started until after the school district knew it would have money left over in its construction funds and has led to leaky conditions during a rainy November and December, cancelling, altering and postponing basketball games and wrestling matches.

Senior high games have been moved to the old middle school gym in Grand Coulee, a fact which Oroville protested, refusing to come for a scheduled game last Thursday.

“The outcome of that contest will be decided at the League Athletic Directors meeting in January,” Grand Coulee Dam School District Athletic Director Rich Black said. “It will either be a forfeit, or we will reschedule the games; that is yet to be determined.”

Then to make matters worse, Bridgeport’s school suffered serious vandalism last weekend, closing the school and necessitating more changes to the Lake Roosevelt Junior Senior High School sports schedules. And yesterday, an alumni basketball game set for Saturday at the middle school gym was cancelled.

The Star will update online the schedule below if new information is received.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the schedule so far:

Tuesday, Dec 16: HS Basketball versus Bridgeport/home @ 5 pm (girls varsity), 6:30 pm (boys varsity) (Middle School gym; varsity only). Junior HS Basketball versus Bridgeport is at Mansfield High School gym @ 5 pm (bus departs at 3 pm).
