Raider golf travelled to Desert Canyon on March 26 to take on the Oroville Hornets in head to head competition. The Raider boys were the only squad representing LR; the girls did not compete. The Raiders came up short on the final score tally ( Oroville 196 - LR 225) but individual boys showed solid improvement, including Brandon Desautel, who “shaved 18 strokes off his score from our first match, very impressive,” noted Head Coach Steves Files. Desautel shot a 47 to lead the Raiders. Aus... Full story

Raider golfers had their first contest last week at home against the Omak Pioneers boys’ squad. Omak did not bring their girls’ team as they had other engagements going on at the same time. Raider Head Coach Steve Files liked the way the boys’ team performed in the season opener. “It was a good first match,” he said. “We’re off and running in 2013.” Austin Rosenbaum led the Raiders, shooting a 50 over nine holes. “Austin Rosenbaum competed well against one of the top players in the state,” Files said. “He was the only player to card a bird...

The Raider baseball squad went on a tear through their early season Central Washington B League opponents of Manson and Oroville. In the three games played last week by the varsity and one played by the JV all ended early because of the 10-run mercy rule. The Raiders jumped to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning of their home game against Manson March 19. The Trojans could not get anything started against Raider pitcher Brady Black, who allowed only two hits and one earned run while striking... Full story

The Lady Raiders took on Tonasket in fastpitch action there March 19. LR could not get on the board, and ended up being ten-runned in the fifth inning 10-0. The Raider girls, said Head Coach Jamie Lezard, “did not play to their abilities. Once again, we had some mental errors on defense and offensively we left some runs out on base paths, and we cannot do that if we’re going to be a competitive team.” The Lady Raiders did have some success, however. Lezard commented that Riley Epperson in center field was “catching everything hit her way.” A... Full story

On a cloudy, windy Saturday the Raiders opened their 2013 track and field season at the West Valley invite at West Valley High School in Spokane. Only 11 tracksters made the trip to West Valley. None placed but two came close. The meet featured most of the strong squads from the Greater Spokane League, Great Northern League, and Northeast A, making it very difficult to place in all events. Freshman Lukas Hermetz continues to impress his coaches as the improvement from the cross country season transferred to his track events. In his first 1600-... Full story
Lake Roosevelt opened with a tough doubleheader loss to the Okanogan Bulldogs last Saturday in Okanogan. An inability to close out innings hurt the Raiders. “In game one, we gave up five runs (3,2) after committing an error that would have closed out the innings,” Coach Ted Piccolo noted. After the LR 8-4 loss in the first game, the Bulldogs played better defense in the second, allowing the Raiders to only score two runs to their seven. The coach noted that Tim Loch “performed very well in his first games as the number-one catcher, and then... Full story
The Lady Raiders travelled to Cashmere last Saturday for a season opening doubleheader against the Bulldogs. LR travelled without one of their key players who could not make the trip. Because of this, the coaches had to shuffle people around to fill the hole which meant some girls had to play in positions they had never played before. LR’s youth and inexperience showed as the Bulldogs held the Lady Raiders scoreless in the first game of the doubleheader. In the second game the Lady Raiders did score two runs. The Bulldogs took advantage of L... Full story

This reporter wishes to apologize for the error he made in the softball preview in last week’s special section. Head Coach Jamie Lezard played four years of varsity baseball and is not a she. This mistake came from not looking closely at what was submitted by the coach as a whole and focusing on his slowpitch coaching only, thus making an assumption that the coach played slowpitch in high school....

In his freshman year, Chance Garvin carried a big load for the Raider basketball team last season, playing guard, rotating underneath as a post, and playing stout zone defense all as a brand-new player on varsity basketball. All this was made even more amazing as Garvin came into the season with a knee injury that had ended his football season and threatened to take away his basketball season as well. Garvin went through a strict rehab program in Spokane so that the knee would be healed up for the basketball season, and it was a boon for the... Full story
