Raider tennis to host district tourney

The Raider tennis team will host the District 6 Tournament on Saturday, May 11, and Wednesday, May 15, Coach Casey Brewster said. The tournament will take advantage of the four courts at the high school, likely the newest in the district, built in 2015, and the two courts at Coulee Dam's Cole Park just across the river, originally built in the 1930s but resurfaced during Coulee Dam's Quincy Snow administration more than 10 years ago. Visiting teams will include those from Liberty Bell High School, Manson, Okanogan, Oroville, Pateros, and Tonasket.

The Raiders played the 1-A Omak Pioneers in a non-league match in Coulee Dam Thursday, winning six of 14 games.

In singles, Noah Hunt and Tor Chaffee each won both of their matches. Hunt won 6-0, 6-0 over Omak's Dreyk Lopez-Humphries. Chaffee bested Omari Louie 6-2, 6-3.

Tommy Tynan lost 1-6, 2-6. And Kailah Leadingham lost 1-6, 1-6.

In doubles, LR's Abby Rockwell and Riley Ayling bested Faith Hendrick and Jojo Ochoa 6-2, 6-4.

LR's Wyatt Toulou and Zane Chaffee lost to Noah and Jonah Rose 1-6, 2-6.

The Raider team of Tecumseh Wilt and Carter Senator came close but lost 5-7, 6-7 to Bryson Buchanan and Matthew Kirk.
