    Jacob Wagner|May 10, 2017

    The Lake Roosevelt Raiders baseball team narrowly missed the playoffs after losing 5-3 to the Soap Lake Eagles May 4. Lake Roosevelt, Soap Lake, and Tonasket competed in a three-way tiebreaker on neutral ground in Brewster Thursday to determine which two teams would go on to the postseason.

Her efforts were certainly an example of being a competitor no matter the conditions and never giving... Full story

The folks at the National Weather Service office in Spokane stated this: “A combination of abundant late winter snow, heavy rain from several wet Pacific storms, and near-seasonal tempe... Full story
