The Lady Raiders are having an exceptional soccer month, tarnished only by their first loss last night of the month, their first this season in league play.

They beat 1A Omak 3-2 on Oct. 17, then on Saturday wrapped up Oroville in a postseason game, taking down the sixth-seeded Hornets 8-0 at Grand Coulee. The LR win ended the Hornets' season in a game that saw two Raiders each accomplish a hat trick, the rare...
The Raiders won their senior-night football game against the Mabton Vikings by a large margin Friday night in Coulee Dam, 74-22. It was a big win for the team's last home game of the season. The Raiders, who officially asked WIAA last year to switch to an eight-man team after two years of finding it tough to field a full 11-man team, have not played a league game in 2026. They sport a 5-2 win-loss overall. They have two more games to play, one at Soap Lake Oct. 30. The last game will be at...

Soccer The Lady Raiders sent the Oroville Hornets home early Tuesday night, still stinging from an 8-0 loss that WIAA’s 8-point differential rule kept from getting worse. The win pushed Lake Roosevelt (4-2, 8-4) to second place in the Central Washington 2B league, wedged between Okanogan (4-0, 8-1) at the top and Brewster in third place, for now. That may seem odd to fans who witnessed Brewster (3-0, 10-2) inflict a similar mercy ruling on LR a week earlier with a 9-1 score, but the Bears h...

They were about to wrap it up in the seventh inning with a sweet payback win that would have sent the Coyotes home and the Lady Raiders on for a chance at third or fourth place in the state. It was not to be. Lake Roosevelt's softball team, three outs from extending its season, saw an 11-7 lead slip away in the final inning as Kittitas rallied at the end of the seventh, pulling past LR 13-11 on the final play.

The Lake Roosevelt Raiders' baseball week took an unusual turn Tuesday night in Okanogan, where a 10-0 loss to Brewster in the Central Washington 2B league tournament became a forfeit win after the Bears were found to have used an ineligible pitcher, according to LR Coach Billy Nicholson.

The Bulldogs won that game 22-2, but Lake Roosevelt will continue its postseason Friday at Tonasket, where the Raiders will play...
