DAVENPORT – The Colfax Bulldogs rolled into town looking to put an end to the Lady Gorillas' perfect season and looked like they would stand a fighting chance after the first half. But 16 combined third-quarter points from Darby Soliday and Ellie Telford erased any chance the Bulldogs had of knocking off Davenport, which pulled away for a 66-50 win Thursday, May 27. Colfax rode the hot hand of Asher Cai, who finished with 25 points, to stay close throughout the first half. T...
REARDAN-In light of the Spokane Tribe's decision to disallow public schools from using a Native American reference in a mascot or logo and the Reardan-Edwall School District's subsequent choice to do away with the "Indians" mascot by this fall, the school district has revealed six finalists for its new mascot. The mascot will be decided through a community vote open exclusively to school staff, students, parents and alumni, as well as community members. Voting will take place...
SPANGLE—The Reardan wrestlers took the mat against other competitors for the first time this season at Liberty Wednesday, May 19. The Indians have 16 wrestlers this year, which coach Rick Perleberg said is down from usual years. He attributed that to COVID-19 rules, which mandate twice-weekly coronavirus testing and mask-wearing during competition and practice. 14 of the 16 competed at Liberty. Senior Kobe Martinez competed in the 220-pound weight class and won his only match. Fellow senior Mahkai Anderson, a 170-pounder, w...
CHEWELAH-The Davenport boys varsity basketball team kept rolling to its fourth straight win to start the 2021 season against the Chewelah Cougars (1-3) 54-48 Tuesday, May 25. The Gorillas were led by the players who have carried much of the scoring load all season: Tennesee Rainwater and Brenick Soliday. Rainwater scored 20 points on 8-for-20 shooting while converting seven of his 10 two-point attempts and snaring seven rebounds, dishing out four assists and blocking two...
CHEWELAH-The Davenport Lady Gorillas (4-0) never faced much of a challenge from the Chewelah (Jenkins) Cougars in their quest to remain undefeated this season. Davenport dusted off Chewelah handily on the road 61-14. The game was never in doubt, as the Lady Gorillas led 21-2 after one quarter and were up 32-6 at halftime. Davenport hasn't given up more than nine points in one quarter since the opening game of the season against Northwest Christian. Contributions were...
DAVENPORT-The Gorillas continued their winning ways in their third game of the season against the Kettle Falls Bulldogs, taking care of a team that made the state tournament last season but lost many key players. Davenport won soundly 63-34 after taking a 23-8 lead in the first quarter and holding a halftime lead of 38-13. Tennesee Rainwater had his best game of the season to date, scoring 26 points and converting 11-of-15 shots from two-point range. He continued to struggle...
DAVENPORT-Darby Soliday's season-high 23 points and swarming team defense that has defined Davenport's early season successes were key as the Lady Gorillas took care of the Kettle Falls Bulldogs 42-19 Saturday, May 22. Soliday helped the Lady Gorillas overcome a subpar shooting game. Davenport was just 26.3% from the field, but Soliday hit eight of Davenport's 15 successful field goals. Suffocating 1-2-2 zone defense was just as key, as Kettle Falls was a paltry 15.9% from...
Boys game gets chippy after Davenport builds first-half lead REARDAN-It was a rivalry game, after all. That just didn't show until the second half, after Davenport jumped out to a 35-11 halftime lead and held on for a 67-38 final victory over the rival Reardan Indians. "It was our defense. We were able to get out and be a little more aggressive and limit them to one shot," Davenport head coach Matt Henry said. "We knew what was going to come (in the second) half and were able...

ODESSA – The Odessa High School baseball team finished up their 2021 season with only a single loss in a non-conference away game against Brewster that followed a recent win against the same team at home.
