Raiders poach Gorillas, move on to league tournament

The Raider tennis squad is moving on to the league tournament after wrapping up their regular season with a nice, neat bow by winning all their matchups with the Davenport Gorillas last week.

In Davenport on May 1, the boys won their matches 3-0, and the girls won theirs 3-0.

“The boys completely dominated, not allowing their opponents to win even one game,” remarked Head Coach Steve Archer.

The closest match of the day was at girls’ first doubles. Alexia [Ryan] and Rylee [Pitner] were able to come back in the deciding second-set tiebreaker for the win.

The league tournament will take place in Omak and Okanogan at 12 p.m. on Friday, May 11, and 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 12.

The top four of the six teams competing in the league tournament will progress to district play on May 16 and 19, competing against four A schools. The top four teams from districts will advance to state.
