The Entiat Tigers defeated the Raiders 59-57 in the Lake Roosevelt boys’ rhythmless opener, but the game was even closer than the score, one where mistakes make or break the other team’s chances. LR travelled to Entiat for the Dec. 4 game originally scheduled for Coulee Dam. Because of the potential for another rainout under the leaky Gailord Nelson Gym during reroofing, the game was moved to Entiat. “Tough that it wasn’t a home game,” Head Coach Matt Simpson said, explaining how the team adjusted to the change in locale. “Just how we prepare,...

It’s possible that someday the Raiders will be part of a proposed “Columbia River League.” But there’s a long road awinding before that could become possible, Athletic Director Richard Black told the school board Monday night. In spite of all the things Lake Roosevelt and others proposed for the league would have to do, the school board was enthusiastic about the idea. Nevertheless, Black was cautious. “When you start pulling schools out from other leagues, you open up... Full story

Darnold enjoyed seeing the team perform to the best of their... Full story

On a wet night in Kittitas, the Raiders lost their fourth game in a row to the Coyotes by the score of 72-6. “Disappointing performance by the Raiders,” Raider Head Coach Steve Files commented. “We were not competitive against Kittitas.” LR tried early to fake a punt deep in their own territory.

LR’s only score came on a Nathaniel Hall 72-yard kickoff return fo... Full story
