Raiders got game

The Raider varsity football team will have a game this week after all. It starts at 5 p.m. Saturday in Coulee City against ACH.

A Friday game scheduled against Soap Lake was canceled due to a lack of eligible players at Soap Lake, Athletic Director Casey Brewster told the school board Monday night, not long after learning of the cancellation.

He was trying to fill the slot, for what had been a home game for the Raiders, by Wednesday but apparently was unable to do so.

Lake Roosevelt and Soap Lake were reportedly taking turns having too few players to take the field. Then Friday afternoon, Brewster reported that a game had been arranged with Almira-Coulee-Hartline.
