Seeded number two going in, the Raiders could not pass that first hurdle. Cougar pitching and their own injuries (pitcher... Full story

This is a meet where boys and girls are teamed up for relays in all field events. All races are relays, including the sprint and Distance medleys “As a team we considered the relays to be a hard training day, they also proved to be a lot of fun and a team building experience,” Head Coach Lori Adkins said. “We definitely piqued team interest in relay events.” This was not an athletic.net-scored event so results...

Emily Williams won by a deceptively large margin as Coach Archer elaborates, “Emily’s match was closer than the... Full story
The Lady Raiders dropped two games to Davenport last Saturday in cold wet weather that forced two rain delays. Lady Raider pitching had a hard time finding rhythm and walked in 17 runs in the first game and eight more in the second. Batting improved for LR as they had runners in scoring position several times and even loaded the bases four times. But the Lady Raiders, being unable to bring those runners home, led to both final scores for the doubleheader favoring Davenport 22-1 and 27-5. Head Coach Jamie Lezard noted that Tristan Adolph, Riley... Full story
