Raider boys to head to first round of state

The Raider boys will head to the first round of the state tournament Saturday after coming from behind to beat Davenport 69-47 in their District 6/7 Crossover game Feb. 16 in Wenatchee.

The Raiders (22-1) head back to Wenatchee High School to play Pasco’s Tri-Cities Prep (18-3) Feb. 24 at 2 p.m. Winning that game would jump Lake Roosevelt into the quarterfinals Feb. 29 at 3:45 p.m. at a venue to be determined. A loss would have them playing in the “Round of 12” Feb. 28 at 7:15 p.m., also at a place TBD.

One team the Raiders and the Tri-Cities Prep Jaguars have both played is Columbia, whose Coyotes beat them both, most recently Friday night, when the Jaguars lacked 18 points, 86-68. The Raiders held the Coyotes to 66 Feb. 2 in Kennewick but lost by 12 points, 66-54.
