With a blood-pumping finish, the Lake Roosevelt Raiders came back from an eight-point deficit with under three minutes left in the game against Brewster to claim the District 6 basketball championship Saturday night at Omak. With LR down 61-53 with 2:47 left in the game, Coach Jeremy Crollard called a time out, and the Raiders switched to a press to stop the Bear advance. Brandon Pino sunk a free throw, then added a trey to cover half their deficit. Chase Clark, open at the top of the key,...
The Lady Raiders took second in the District 6 championship game in Omak Friday, falling to Okanogan, the top-rated 2B team in the state. "That was the competition we needed," said Coach Melissa Meza, a reference to the two-tiered nature of District 6, with Okanogan's 21-1 overall win-loss record, Lake Roosevelt's 15-8, and Brewster's 13-8 setting them apart from everyone else. Cylia St. Pierre took top scoring honors for LR, but the Lady Bulldogs kept her to 12. Carly Neddo put in nine;...
Don’t be alarmed if you hear a lot of sirens Thursday morning about 11, but look outside and cheer. Several Raider wrestlers will be headed to state, with an escort out of town by police cars and fire engines. The Raider boys’ team took fifth at the WIAA 1B/2B/1A/2A Region 4 tournament last week, and five of them will compete in the Mat Classic state tournament in Tacoma. Two LR girls will also head to the state event. Rodger Cate took the regional championship at 106 pounds last weekend and will try for his second state championship in Tac...
Raider Rodger Cate was named an "Athlete of the Week" last Friday by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, which picks high school student athletes across all sports and school sizes in the state to honor each week. And that was before he won the wrestling championship for WIAA's Region 2 at 106 pounds for 2B schools. The award sponsored by Gesa Credit Union notes that Cate, a Colville tribal member, made history last year by winning the WIAA 1B/2B State title at 106 pounds in...

The Lady Raiders beat down the Liberty Bell Lady Mountain Lions Friday night in Coulee Dam 64-12 in their first post-season game, sending them on to meet Brewster last night (Tuesday) at Omak High School, where the next part of the 2023 District 6 2B Girls Basketball tournament is being held. If the LR girls, with an overall win-loss record of 14-7, beat Brewster (12-7), they’ll meet either Tonasket or Okanogan at Omak at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10. If Brewster won last night, the Lady Raiders will still play the earlier Omak game on the 10th at 6 p...
The Raider boys get to keep this regular-season, top-of-the-league boasting rights after winning at home against Tonasket last night, securing a first-round by in the District 6 tournament that starts Saturday. The win came after they had suffered a seven-point loss in Okanogan Jan. 24, the second in league loss the whole season, but emerged the top seed into the District 6 post season last night in Coulee Dam. Coming off a 22-point win against Manson Jan. 20, the Raiders met stiffer resistance...
Two points are so inefficient. So, Aaliyah Marchand increased her scoring efficiency by 50 percent per basket, hitting all seven from beyond the three-point line to lead the Lady Raiders in scoring against Okanogan last week with 21 - to match her jersey number. One of the team's most physical players under the basket, she got nothing 'neath the net, which may have been the Bulldogs' plan, but no matter. The Lady Raiders' only senior showed her versatility, proving the point with long-range miss...
Lake Roosevelt's boys took the win in a home wrestling dual Jan. 25 against ACH, then attended Okanogan's tournament, where four of them placed.

At 113 pounds, freshman Zacheria Elwell took second place. At 138, Dakota Green also took second place. 145: Teyten Flores took third place in a tough 145-pound bracket. 182: And...
After beating Brewster by nine points at home and dominating Manson 78-12 last week, the Lady Raiders stood at second in the league Tuesday night before meeting Okanogan at the home of the Lady Bulldogs, the Central Washington 2B League leaders. The Okanogan girls, with a 7-0 win-loss record in league and 16-0 overall, may have felt secure going into that game against Lake Roosevelt (5-2, 11-6), with ample reason. Okanogan won 91 – 48. LR started out strong, scoring 34 in the first half, but couldn’t execute in the second, Coach Melissa Meza sa...
The Raider boys beat Brewster in a bruiser of a basketball game Jan. 17 in Coulee Dam, 61-60, then went to Manson to trample the Trojans 63-41 on Friday. The Raiders, with a 7-0 league win-loss record, 15-2 overall, ranked first in the Central Washington 2B league and second in the state as of Tuesday night, according to WIAA’s site. They trailed only Brewster (5-2, 13-4) statewide. The RPI rankings used by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association factor in the difficulty of a team’s schedule during the season, making it pos...

The Lady Raiders breezed past Oroville Friday in a decisive home-court victory, 66-20. Aaliyah Marchand did the most damage to the visitors, adding 21 points for Lake Roosevelt, 15 of those coming from outside the three-point line. And Marchand's last-second near-half-court shot to hit 66 on the scoreboard might have been the biggest excitement of the game. Carly Neddo put in 16 points for LR, followed closely by Cylia St. Pierre's 14. The girls were third in the Central Washington 2B League as...

The Raiders topped a mixed weekend with a very large lead Monday night over White Swan in Coulee Dam, beating the Cougars 85-44. The win came on the heels of a one-point loss to Omak on Saturday, which itself had followed a huge victory over Brewster's Bears, 71-60, on their home court, a game about which Raider Coach Jeremy Crollard had not been optimistic due to past experience with uneven officiating. "We left it all on the court when it came to Brewster," Crollard said. The Raiders played...
