The Raiders are still undefeated in football this season after turning White Swan into an ugly duckling Friday.
At Lake Roosevelt's homecoming game, LR and White Swan both walked onto Greene Field with 3-0 win-loss records, but the Raiders defeated White Swan 42-8 to stay undefeated at 4-0 while White Swan left with a loss.
"It was homecoming, so it was a great atmosphere, a lot of fun," said Head Coach Tim Rasmussen. "Our team had a good week of preparation. We felt that we could dominate the line on both sides of the ball. We went out and played a good team game and executed well."
White Swan's defense managed to hold the Raiders to only eight points in the first quarter, but LR added 12 more in the second quarter and 22 in the third.
The Cougars added their eight points to the board in the final quarter.
"We played our brand of football, which is physical, and took advantage of what they gave us," Rasmussen said.
Cameron St. Pierre ran for two of the Raider touchdowns in the game, while another came on a pass from Hunter Whitelaw to Tyson Nicholson, Rasmussen noted.
The Raiders play again this Friday in Chewelah at 7 p.m.
