At Liberty Bell the Lady Raiders struggled, losing in a three-game sweep. “We didn’t look like the same team that defeated them in the opening of the season,” Head Coach Kasey Garvin explained. “My girls have been going through a funk on the volleyball court; we’ve just not been able to dig ourselves out of it.” Coach Garvin did praise the effort of two players. “My subs, Rylee Pitner and Olivia Buttise, played the fi...

The Lady Raiders won in three after losing in three last week. On Manson’s home court, Lake Roosevelt lost in a three-game set Sept. 22 before defeating Tonasket in Coulee Dam Thursday in a three-game sweep.
