LR Babe Ruth started their summer season last week as they took on Omak May 14 for a single game at Greene Field. Jacob Palmer had the only base bit for LR, as Omak went on to win in six innings, 13-3. Coach Jeremy Miller said many of the middle school-age players showed signs of first game jitters. This wore off quickly as on the 18th when LR hosted Chelan for a doubleheader. In the first game Chelan jumped out to a two-run lead in the top of the third. LR came back in the bottom of the sixth, scoring two runs to knot the game up at two...

Raider baseball wrapped up the 2013 season last week at Wenatchee Valley Junior College with a 8-2 loss to White Swan. Head Coach Ted Piccolo recognizes that White Swan was a tough opponent.

Raider baseball competed in the District 6 playoffs at Wenatchee Valley Junior College on Monday, where they took on the White Swan Cougars in a loser-out game starting at noon. If they had won, they would have gone on to play Riverside Christian at 4 p.m. Win or lose that game, the Raiders would then have been assured a trip back. But first LR needed to beat the Cougars. Seeded number two going in, the Raiders could not pass that first hurdle. Cougar pitching and their own injuries (pitcher...
The Lady Raiders had a busy softball week, as they played Bridgeport in a doubleheader April 29, a single game against Oroville the next day, and a doubleheader against Pateros May 3. LR came away with one win. The Ladies were informed last week that on May 14 LR will travel to White Swan for district play in game against the Cougars starting at 4 p.m. Against the Fillies on the 29th, the Lady Raiders did not play up to snuff as several errors led to runs and missed opportunities. The Ladies lost the first game 14-12, and the second 29-11. As...

Raider girls won their tennis match April 30 at Wilbur, 5-0. Emily Williams and Lyric Witten both dispatched their opponents with ease. Areielle White played a long, close match with Ashley Potts that ended in victory for White. “The match lasted over two and a half hours,” Raider Head Coach Steve Archer said. “After dropping the first set, she bounced back and out-hustled her opponent, finally winning the third set in a tiebreaker. … The whole team cheered her as she got on the bus.” In doubles action, the Raider domination continued...
The Lady Raiders completed the season sweep of the Manson Trojans on April 23 at Manson by the score of 12-2. The game ended in the fifth inning because of the WIAA 10-run mercy rule.

Pitcher Ashley Lezard struck out 10 batters without giving up a walk. She backed up her pitching performance by batting .750 on the day. Tristan Ado...
Raider baseball completed a season series sweep of the Oroville Hornets April 23 in Oroville, 16-0. Kendal Piccolo pitched a complete game no hitter, a rare pitching feat at all levels of the game. Piccolo backed up his pitching performance by batting four for six on the day. Brady Black picked up two doubles at Oroville.

Lady Raider softball had a roller coaster week that finished with a win over the Oroville Hornets on Saturday. The week did not start off like LR would have wanted as the league-leading Mountain Lions of Liberty Bell took their April 16 game 16-1 over the Lady Raiders. The game ended in the third inning as per the mercy rules set by the WIAA. “(The) Lady Raiders just could not get it together after we had a injury to one of our teammates,” Head Coach Jamie Lezard said. Not looking for repeat of the 16th, on Saturday the Lady Raiders exp...
Raider tennis was challenged in last week’s three matches by fatigue, long bus rides, and tough opponents. LR traveled south to White Swan April 16 for a Central Washington B match against the Cougars. The four-hour bus ride came back to haunt the Raiders as both squads were swept by the Cougars. Daniel Campobasso provided a bright spot for the Raider boys hanging in there with Xavier Valladares in the first, forcing a tiebreaker. The final score has Valladres winning 7-6 (7-2), 6-3. “Daniel improved much over his first match with Xavier, whi...

Raider track came back from spring break with a two-meet week. The first, at Bridgeport on April 9, was the Brewster Co-Ed Relays. This is a meet where boys and girls are teamed up for relays in all field events. All races are relays, including the sprint and Distance medleys “As a team we considered the relays to be a hard training day, they also proved to be a lot of fun and a team building experience,” Head Coach Lori Adkins said. “We definitely piqued team interest in relay events.” This was not an athletic.net-scored event so results...
Raider baseball went on a winning streak, sweeping away all opponents last week. It started on April 9 at Bridgeport, where the Raiders 10- runned the Mustangs, 11-0. Brady Black continues to be stout on the mound and Kendall Piccolo closed out the win in the fifth inning. Justus DeWinkler was the big bat for the night, picking up three doubles.

The Raiders’ nine-run fourth-inning performance put them over t...
Raider golfers took on Oroville and Manson at Oroville April 9. There were no team scores for the match. “We still have a long way to go,” commented Head Coach Steve Files, “but all our JV girls made the trip and competed really well for their first match.” “Our chipping and putting needs to get much better in order to compete with the league’s top players,” he added. Tanecia Stanczak took home the medal for the girls’ match with the score of 105. On the boys side, Austin Rosenbaum led the boys again with a 108. Brandon Desautel and Jo...

Earlier in the week, Lake Roosevelt travelled to Pateros and lost in a shutout 20-0. The Lady Raiders were 10-runned in the first inning, making mental errors on the field that hampered their defensive play. The Nannies had a stout...
The Raider girls’ tennis squad posted back-to-back wins last week, defeating Wilbur-Creston April 8 and Davenport April 13. Lake Roosevelt’s boys beat Wilbur-Creston, but fell to Davenport. In both cases, the matches were the first against W-C and the Gorillas in Head Coach Steve Archer’s memory. Holly Carriere was determined to win and did so against Rhea Castrodale 4-6, 6-2, 7-5. Emily Williams won by a deceptively large margin as Coach Archer elaborates, “Emily’s match was closer than the...
