Raider boys wrestled in their district tournament in Oroville, and the Lady Raider wrestler at subregionals in Warden, last weekend, and every Raider wrestler placed and moves onto the regionals round, including first-placers Kaleb Horn, Tony Nichols, and Sherwin Vargas. In Oroville on Feb. 3, the boys wrestled at their district tournament. “We had a very successful tournament,” Head Coach Steve Hood said about all 12 Raider wrestlers moving on to regionals. Horn, wrestling at 132 pounds, defeated Tonasket’s Brock 5-1, and Bretz 12-1, to take...

Hosting the Tonasket Lady Tigers on Jan. 23, the Lady Raiders won with a final score of 53-39. "That was a win that we definitely needed," said Head Coach Wallace Pleasants. "The girls figured out what to do. We did a good job of taking away what they wanted to do." Several technical fouls were called on both sides. "Everybody knows what's on...
The league mix and match was held in Coulee Dam on Saturday, with all six teams from the Central Washington 2B league in attendance: Lake Roosevelt, Oroville, Tonasket, Brewster, Pateros, and Liberty Bell. The event helped give wrestlers the chance to face off with league opponents they haven't wrestled yet, and also helps coaches determine seeding for the districts tournament in Oroville. Not everyone wrestled, Head Coach Steve Hood said, "but the ones that needed to did. Some got one match,...

Raider wrestlers mixed and matched in Pateros last week before heading to Kittitas for a tournament where Tony Nichols won first and Kaleb Horn won second for the Raiders in their weight divisions.

"They are starting to play more like a team. As the year has gone on, they're doing pretty good with everything. Our younger guys are getting more experience and...
After a big win preceded by two losses last week, the Lady Raiders are tied for league standing with Liberty Bell. Lake Roosevelt lost on the road to Liberty Bell, lost a non-league home game against Okanogan, and won by a landslide against Manson. In Liberty Bell on Jan. 16, the Lady Raiders lost 58-46 against the Mountain Lions. "You can't win when the other team shoots 42 free throws," Head Coach Wallace Pleasants said.

This past week the Lady Raiders basketball squad had a solid win in Oroville, and a home game canceled and rescheduled due to weather. In Oroville on Jan. 9, the Lady Raiders defeated the Lady Hornets 61-21, a similar score to earlier in the season when LR won 63-22 against Oroville. “It was a good all-around defensive game for us,” Head Coach Wallace Pleasants said. “We worked hard on moving our feet and staying in front. Solid game for all, with us getting a chance to play the entire bench.” Kayla St. Pierre led the Lady Raiders with 16 point...
The Raiders came up just shy of victory in Oroville last week, and a home game had to be rescheduled due to snow. On Jan. 9 in Oroville, the Raiders lost by just one point to the Hornets, 44-43. “It was a frustrating game, one we knew we should have won,” said Head Coach Jeremy Crollard. “We had so many opportunities that we missed. We just couldn’t stop their big guy, who had 20-25 rebounds. We drew up a play with 10 seconds left and ended up having a wide open layup with three seconds left and missed it. We have to move forward from here. H...
Lake Roosevelt wrestlers crossed the Cascade mountains all the way to Rainier last week, where they wrestled yetis on the side of the mountain. Well, not exactly. In actuality, they wrestled at Rainier High School, where Kaleb Horn and Tony Nichols placed first, Robert Thomas placed fifth, and the rest gained some solid experience. Wrestling at 132 pounds, Horn pinned his opponent, Gerrish from Rainier, then defeated Steele from Klahowya 5-1 before defeating Stafford from Klahowya 4-0 to secure the first-place spot. “That was a tough match, a g...

"They almost gave me a heart attack on that one," Raider Head Coach Jeremy Crollard said about a 77-74 overtime victory the Raiders pulled off against the Mustangs last week before a losing in Waterville. Hosting the Bridgeport Mustangs Jan. 2, the Raiders were down seven points at the start of the second quarter, trailing 18-11, but put up 14 in the second quarter to the Mustangs' eight, cutting their lead down to one point. A high-scoring third quarter for both teams put the score tied at 51...
Raider wrestlers competed in the Brewster mixer and the Warden tournament this past week, as well as sending their female wrestler to Springdale for a girls’ wrestling event.

The wrestlers went to Warden for their Jan. 6 tournament, where LR placed fourth out of nine teams with 94.5 points. Tonask...
The Lady Raiders chalked up two more in the win column this past week, defeating both the Bridgeport Fillies as well as the Waterville Lady Shockers. The Lady Raiders beat the Fillies by 50 points in Coulee Dam Jan. 2, with a final score of 73-23. Head Coach Wallace Pleasants said their performance was in part due to improvements made over winter break competing against bigger schools in the Eagle Holiday Classic in Spokane. "The thing we learned in Spokane was as long as you move your feet,...
