The Lake Roosevelt Raider tennis team lost in Omak to the Pioneers on March 28, then won at home March 30 against the Wilbur Wildcats.

"We snuck into Omak just after, and left just before, the rains came," Head Coach Steve Archer said.

Despite avoiding the rain, 5-0 losses for both the boys and girls put a damper on the outing, but the team looked at it in a positive light.

"Omak's team is the strongest team we have faced," Archer said. "The top players at Omak are state caliber. But we looked at it as an opportunity to improve by facing strong opposition."

In boys' singles, Bradley Wilder and Cristian Ruiz both lost their separate matches "but came close by forcing a third set-deciding super tie breaker," Archer said. "Both had the momentum by winning their second sets, but unfortunately dropped their tie breakers."

Things went better at home against the Wilbur Wildcats, with the boys winning 4-1, and the girls winning 4-1.

"Our team had a strong showing," Archer said.

In the boys' singles, Aiden Derr lost his first set, but came back to win.

"He dominated the second set 6-1, which forced a third set decided by a super tie breaker, which he easily won, 10-3," explained Archer. "Bradley Wilder had a similar path to the deciding super tie breakers, but unfortunately lost 10-4."

Now on spring break, the tennis squad isn't set to compete again until April 11 in Tonasket. Their next home game will be on April 18 against Entiat at 4 p.m. in Coulee Dam.
