Raider Golf last week had the good fortune of playing in warm, sunny weather after having some cool wet matches early on.

Head Coach Steve Files said, "The weather has been fantastic and our young team has been making steady improvement."

At Moses Pointe, the Raiders faced Moses Lake Christian, Riverside Christian, and Sunnyside April 18. In tough competition on the 18-hole round, Darin Whiteman continued to lead the Raider boys, finishing the round in 106 strokes. Jazmine Reed led the Raider girls with a 133.

The Raiders played their home match April 20 at Banks Lake Golf Course against Warden, Oroville, Tonasket, and Okanogan.

"Our home match last week was a lot of fun, mid-80s and nearly 40 competitors from four schools," Files said. "We sure appreciate the efforts and support for our program by Jim Keene, Jerry Sands and all the great volunteers out at Banks Lake, as the course is looking and playing good."

Whiteman once again led the Raider boys at the home match, finishing the 18-hole round at 111 strokes. Jazmine Reed continued to lead the Raider girls while trimming 15 strokes off her total for 118.

Raider golf last night traveled to Alta Lake, where they faced Okanogan, Riverside Christian, and Moses Lake Christian. Alta Lake will also host the District 6 match later in May.

Now the Raider golfers will prepare for a dual match against Okanogan May 4 at Lake Wood Golf Course, starting at 2:30 p.m. Lake Wood Golf Course is located on Half Sun Way, upstream of Chief Joseph Dam in Bridgeport.
