Octavio Alejandre and Chyenne Kelly-Marconi both placed for the Raiders at the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association State 2B Track and Field meet in Cheney last week. At the meet, held at Eastern Washington University, Octavio Alejandre excelled for LR in the shot put. In the prelims, Alejandre had thrown only 43 feet, 5.5 inches, far short of his personal record of 46 feet-plus, and shorter still from the 48-foot goal he had set for himself at state. The lone LR boys' team...

Three Lady Raider softball players have been named to the Central Washington 2B North All-League squads for the 2014 season. Lake Roosevelt freshman Tristen Adolph was named to the First Team CWL 2B North because of her pitching and base running ability. Adolph struck out 55 batters, batted .489 for the season, and stole 48 bases. “Tristen played every position on the field this season, but she ended the season as our go to pitcher,” Head Coach Jamie Lezard said. “She had a tough job at first of finding the strike zone, but she pulled it all t...
Raider Tennis competed in District 6 Tournament at Cashmere last week, where their season came to an end. The matches were close and were played to a different format than in the regular season. “The format was two out of three sets with no-add scoring, which means you only have to win games by one point,” noted Head Coach Steve Archer. “Many of the games for both Dan (Campobasso) and Holly (Carriere)/Areielle (White) went to deuce and were won by a single point.” Campobasso played Juan Mensoza of Cascade in boys’ singles. Mensoza took the...
Raider golf came up short at the the District 5-6 Golf Tournament at Lake Chelan Golf Course May 20, so no Raider golfer will advance to the state tournament this season. Brandon Desautel and Mikel Friedlander finished sixth and seventh, respectively, which was just one place too low to advance. “Our kids were grinding out there, but we didn’t play our best,” Raider Head Coach Steve Files said. “I was proud of our effort and the way we competed.” Desautel shot a 116 for his sixth-place finish. He need to cut off six strokes to qualify f...

After a win over Bridgeport last week, the Lady Raiders came up one game short of making it into district play, ending their season. The Lake Roosevelt team played their last softball game of the 2014 season against Liberty Bell May 17. "We just needed to win two of three this week to make it into districts as the third seed, but LR came up short and we didn't get job done to make districts," Head Coach Jamie Lezard said. The Lady Raiders finished the season with a win-loss record of 5-15...

Lake Roosevelt’s baseball team finished the 2014 season Monday at Wenatchee Valley Juinor College in a loser-out game against White Swan.

Earlier in the week, the Raiders lost to the league’s number-one Liberty Bell Mt. Lions in a slugfest. The Raiders could not stop the Mt. Lion offense that scored 17 runs. The loss placed LR in the second-place spot from the Central Washignton 2B Nor...
Lady Raider softball dropped all three of their games last week. At Oroville May 6, the Lady Raiders lost to the Hornets by a close score.

Adolph along with Savannah Marin had a good day at the plate, going three for four. But Lake Roosevelt left six runners stranded on the base paths and made too many errors that allowed the Hornets to score. In a May 9 d...
Raider tennis players defeated the Wilbur-Creston Wildcats in both boys’ and girls’ play May 6 but lost to Tonasket two days later, then ended the regular season at home last night. At Wilbur-Creston, Daniel Campobasso came from behind to win his match against Jacob Paunovich. “Dan Campobasso was down 4-1 in the first set but then switched to another gear, grabbed the momentum and never looked back with an impressive 6-4, 6-1 win,” Head Coach Steve Archer said. Holly Jo Carriere and Areiell...
Raider golfers competed in their last two events of the 2014 season May 6 at Oroville and last night at Banks Lake Golf Course. At Oroville, the Raiders competed against a large Hornet squad and a lone Tonasket Tiger. On the 18-hole course the Hornets came away the victors on the boys’ side.

LR’s tennis team rebounded from a total loss early last week with a sweep and a half at the start of May. At Okanogan April 29, the Raiders were swept, both boys and girls, by the Bulldogs. Holly Jo Carriere came back in the second set of her match against Luisa Cardenas to make it close, 6-0, 7-5. Brandin Smith’s loss to Blake Chesledon 6-2, 6-4, was as close to a win as the boys came.

Lady Raider softball went one of three in last week's games, falling to the league-leading Liberty Bell, but prevailing in one of two games in Saturday's doubleheader against Oroville. At Liberty Bell April 22, Lake Roosevelt left six runners stranded and made too many mental errors on defense, allowing the Mt. Lions to score. The Lady Raiders hosted the Oroville Hornets in a doubleheader Saturday at Grand Coulee, where a better focused LR team defeated the Hornets in the first game. As a team,...
LR competed at Cashmere in the Rieke Invitational April 25, but got rained out at a Mansfield’s Iceberg Invite April 22. At Cashmere, the Raider girls finished 21st overall with 10 team points.

Three home tennis matches against White Swan came down to tiebreaks, with LR winning all three April 22. The weather became a factor as the matches, played on both the high school courts and the Coulee Dam Community Courts in Cole Park, had to be delayed for two hours due to rain. The delay meant that the final match was not completed until 8 p.m. Daniel Campobasso’s singles match against Tre Deleon finished with a 10-8 tiebreak. Tyler Agosto and Edmond Fenton won their doubles match in a 1...
The league-leading Mountain Lions held the Raiders to one run April 22 at Liberty Bell, defeating Lake Roosevelt 6-1, but LR did not stay down, as the Billygoats were to discover. The Pateros Billygoats travelled to Greene Field Saturday for a doubleheader that was pushed ahead from 11 a.m. to 9:30 for the first game. The earlier start did not faze the new Raider defense, as both pitching and fielding shut out the Billygoats in the first game, which LR needed just two runs to win. In the second...
