The Lady Raiders basketball team missed the league championship by just two points Tuesday night as they took second in the 2026 CW2B League Girls Basketball Tournament and Brewster held onto a 46-44 win at Okanogan High School.
LR's loss came after a big win for Lake Roosevelt's girls Saturday afternoon in Omak against Okanogan's Lady Bulldogs, 60-33.
The Lady Raiders took the lead away from Okanogan early in that game and piled it on.
Lady Raiders will be headed to Eastmont High School Feb. 13 at 4:30 to play White Swan (6-3, 14-8) in game one of the 2026 District 5 2B Girls Basketball Tournament. It's loser out.
Winning that Friday game would put the Raider girls (5-1, 11-10) on a possible two-game path, through Cle Elum, to the championship game of District 5 Feb. 21 with either Mabton or Brewster.
A loss to Cle Elum would send them to game 8 the same day, but they would still get a berth in the state tournament Feb. 27-March 7 in Spokane.
