    The Lake Roosevelt Raiders baseball game with Liberty Bell scheduled for today has been cancelled and will turn Friday's road game with Liberty Bell into a doubleheader to make up for it.

    Apr 20, 2022

    The Raider track and field team competed at the K-Valley Rally in Kittitas April 15 against the wind as well as athletes from other schools.

  • Raiders come from zero to beat Omak

    Apr 20, 2022

    The Raiders won two and lost two this past week to have a 8-4-1 win-loss-tie record so far this baseball season. Maybe the Raiders were only lulling the Pioneers into a false sense of security by remaining scoreless in the first four-and-a-half innings, setting Omak up 5-0 halfway through the fourth on a frosty Thursday afternoon. If they were, it worked. Lake Roosevelt decided to play offense in fifth to the point of tying the game at five each, overtaking Omak in the sixth inning when Raider...
