January 29 proved to be a rough night for Lake Roosevelt basketball as the visiting Brewster Bears mauled the Raiders 63-33, and the Lady Bears beat the Lady Raiders 53-39. Both LR teams are still looking at some post-season action after the last two regular season games come later this week which will help determine seeding. Read more about it all in the upcoming Star and in the meantime check out these short videos showing baskets made by Raider Adam George and Lady Raider Kayla St....
Raider wrestlers mixed and matched in Pateros last week before heading to Kittitas for a tournament where Tony Nichols won first and Kaleb Horn won second for the Raiders in their weight divisions. To get his first-place spot in the 152-pound weight division Saturday in Kittitas, Nichols won by technical fall, 15-0, against Lopez from Oroville; pinned Burvee from Ellensburg at the one-minute, 59-second mark; and defeated Jones from Colfax 6-2. "It was a hard fought match," remarked Head Coach...
The Raider boys made mincemeat out of the Mountain Lions, lost a non-league game against the Bulldogs, and won a close one against the Trojans last week. In Liberty Bell on Jan. 16, the Raiders earned a solid win over the Mountain Lions, with a final score of 71-41. "We came out and played hard," said Head Coach Jeremy Crollard. "They are starting to play more like a team. As the year has gone on, they're doing pretty good with everything. Our younger guys are getting more experience and...
After a big win preceded by two losses last week, the Lady Raiders are tied for league standing with Liberty Bell. Lake Roosevelt lost on the road to Liberty Bell, lost a non-league home game against Okanogan, and won by a landslide against Manson. In Liberty Bell on Jan. 16, the Lady Raiders lost 58-46 against the Mountain Lions. "You can't win when the other team shoots 42 free throws," Head Coach Wallace Pleasants said. "We never had our starting lineup on the floor except maybe two possessio...

This past week the Lady Raiders basketball squad had a solid win in Oroville, and a home game canceled and rescheduled due to weather. In Oroville on Jan. 9, the Lady Raiders defeated the Lady Hornets 61-21, a similar score to earlier in the season when LR won 63-22 against Oroville. “It was a good all-around defensive game for us,” Head Coach Wallace Pleasants said. “We worked hard on moving our feet and staying in front. Solid game for all, with us getting a chance to play the entire bench.” Kayla St. Pierre led the Lady Raiders with 16 point...
The Raiders came up just shy of victory in Oroville last week, and a home game had to be rescheduled due to snow. On Jan. 9 in Oroville, the Raiders lost by just one point to the Hornets, 44-43. “It was a frustrating game, one we knew we should have won,” said Head Coach Jeremy Crollard. “We had so many opportunities that we missed. We just couldn’t stop their big guy, who had 20-25 rebounds. We drew up a play with 10 seconds left and ended up having a wide open layup with three seconds left and missed it. We have to move forward from here. H...
Lake Roosevelt wrestlers crossed the Cascade mountains all the way to Rainier last week, where they wrestled yetis on the side of the mountain. Well, not exactly. In actuality, they wrestled at Rainier High School, where Kaleb Horn and Tony Nichols placed first, Robert Thomas placed fifth, and the rest gained some solid experience. Wrestling at 132 pounds, Horn pinned his opponent, Gerrish from Rainier, then defeated Steele from Klahowya 5-1 before defeating Stafford from Klahowya 4-0 to secure the first-place spot. “That was a tough match, a g...

"They almost gave me a heart attack on that one," Raider Head Coach Jeremy Crollard said about a 77-74 overtime victory the Raiders pulled off against the Mustangs last week before a losing in Waterville. Hosting the Bridgeport Mustangs Jan. 2, the Raiders were down seven points at the start of the second quarter, trailing 18-11, but put up 14 in the second quarter to the Mustangs' eight, cutting their lead down to one point. A high-scoring third quarter for both teams put the score tied at 51...
Raider wrestlers competed in the Brewster mixer and the Warden tournament this past week, as well as sending their female wrestler to Springdale for a girls’ wrestling event. Ida Sue went to Springdale Jan. 5, going 2-1 against her opponents. She pinned a West Valley wrestler, got pinned by a Quincy wrestler, but then pinned another Quincy opponent. “It was a good outing for her,” Lake Roosevelt Head Coach Steve Hood said. The wrestlers went to Warden for their Jan. 6 tournament, where LR placed fourth out of nine teams with 94.5 points. Tonask...
The Lady Raiders chalked up two more in the win column this past week, defeating both the Bridgeport Fillies as well as the Waterville Lady Shockers. The Lady Raiders beat the Fillies by 50 points in Coulee Dam Jan. 2, with a final score of 73-23. Head Coach Wallace Pleasants said their performance was in part due to improvements made over winter break competing against bigger schools in the Eagle Holiday Classic in Spokane. "The thing we learned in Spokane was as long as you move your feet,...

The Lady Raiders beat the Fillies by 50 with a final score of 73-23 before the Raiders pulled off a comeback victory in overtime against the Mustangs 77-74. These videos show Kayla St. Pierre with a steal and a layup, drawing the foul (she made the free throw), and Trevor McCraigie hitting a big three in overtime to go up 77-74, leaving only a few seconds left on the clock which Bridgeport wasn't able to do anything with. The nail biter LR victory was something you'd have to see to believe....
The Raiders defeated the Trojans in the final seconds at home before losing to the Tigers in Tonasket last week.

In the final 30 seconds of the game, with only three seconds on the shot clock, the Raiders inbounded to...
The Lady Raiders beat Manson at home before losing to Tonasket on the road last week. Against Manson on Dec. 12, the Lady Raiders led the entire game, by 28-17 at the half, and finished with a final score of 51-33. Head Coach Wallace Pleasants was happy with his team's performance both on offense and defense. About the defense, Pleasants said they excelled at "staying focused, moving our feet, rotating, all those little things that we need." Offensively, Pleasants said, they had "good ball...
Raider wrestlers took part in the Oroville Mixer and the Cashmere Invite this past week. Fewer wrestlers attended these events than usual due to winter sickness and holidays, but those who did gained experience nonetheless. Lake Roosevelt’s wrestlers went to Oroville Dec. 13 for their mixer, where Raiders won seven out of their 18 total matches. Other teams competing were Liberty Bell, Tonasket, and Oroville. “It’s just a chance to get some matches,” commented Head Coach Steve Hood. Kaleb Horn and Tony Nichols each won both of their matches...
