The Lady Raiders restarted their offense in the second half, but it was too little, too late. Okanogan defeated the Lake Roosevelt 67-26.... Full story

The week left them at "2-1 overall" and "moving in the right direction," Head Coach Matt Simpson said. "We wanted to go 3-0 this week for sure; however, we played well when it needed to happen and grew as a team in multiple ways." The week started off with a trip up to Tonasket for a league matchup against the Tigers Jan. 6, the Raiders came away with a... Full story

At Tonasket Jan. 6, Lake Roosevelt defeated the last-place Tigers, 43-27. Jan. 8, the LR hosted Brewster, which was not the juggernaut of the past but is still a tough foe. LR took an early lead in the first quarter of the low-scoring contest, 9-4. In the second, the Lady Bears came back to tie the game at 16. LR took the lead in the third quarter, when Brewster was co... Full story

The Lady Raiders picked up two wins in the Grand Coulee gym and are now in a three-game win streak. Head Coach Wallace Pleasants attributes the winning ways in part to what Entiat had shown the Ladies in their loss. He said they had “played horrible at Entiat, and that exposed the girls to what needs to be worked on, and we have been working on that ever since.” Last Tuesday, Bridgeport Fillies came to Grand Coulee for a game that had been moved due to the vandalism at their own school. The Fillies challenged the Lady Raiders, but in the end... Full story

Oscar Pakootas and Octavio Alejandre dominated their competition at the mixer, winning matches with ease. Reese Caddy... Full story

With the Lake Roosevelt gym in the midst of getting a new roof, it hasn’t taken much over the last two weeks to send sports schedules into disarray, with schedules changing sometimes daily. The reconstruction of the leaky roof couldn’t be started until after the school district knew it would have money left over in its construction funds and has led to leaky conditions during a rainy November and December, cancelling, altering and postponing basketball games and wrestling matches. Senior high games have been moved to the old middle school gym... Full story

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,...
