DAVENPORT-For the first five minutes of the rivalry boys basketball matchup between Reardan and Davenport, it looked like the visiting Screaming Eagles might have figured something out about the Gorillas. Then, the threes started raining in for Davenport and the Gorillas overcame a slow offensive start to win 74-39. Reardan came out packing the paint, taking away Davenport's driving lanes and forcing contested three-point shots that the Gorillas couldn't hit. This allowed the...

COULEE DAM—A young Davenport girls basketball team fought but couldn’t come up victorious against the Lake Roosevelt Lady Raiders in a season-opening contest. The Gorillas fell to Lake Roosevelt 65-58 Tuesday, Dec. 6. “Went okay considering we’re quite young…first game,” head coach Stacia Soliday said in a text message. “We had two seniors, four freshmen and an eighth-grader.

DAVENPORT-A first-year head coach that has been an assistant coach for over 20 years. Four wrestlers returning that competed at the Tacoma Dome last year. And for the first time, two females ready to make school history. That's the current situation for the Davenport wrestling team, that began practice under new head coach Matt Schneider this week.

DAVENPORT-The boys basketball season last season had a lot of promise into February, but an upset loss to Lind-Ritzville/Sprague at districts squashed hopes of a state playoff run. Much of that team returns for this season, but head coach Matt Henry said the goal for this year is to take a more day-by-day approach. "We need to be holding each other accountable every day," Henry said. "Eventually we'll look up and see how far we've come." Senior stars Tennesee Rainwater and...
REARDAN–This year's Screaming Eagles girls basketball team may be short handed, but Coach Bob Swannack believes his senior-laden squad will be competitive in the NE2B League. Swannack graduated eight players from last year's team that finished 13-7. The Screaming Eagles may be unable to field a junior varsity team this year due to low player turnout. "Because this team played in the shadow of last year's seniors, we are going to have to learn on the fly," Swannack said. Though...

"With the experience we have, I expect we will be strong again this year." Neufeld reserved special praise for team leaders JC Merriott, Conner K...
YAKIMA – The Odessa Tigers came into the WIAA 1B State Tournament as the No. 12-seed and minimal expectations.

Odessa ended up in the fifth-place bracket after beating No. 5-seed Liberty Christian 3-2 on Nov. 10 before losing 3-0 to eventual semi-finalist Naselle, also on Nov. 10. Odessa continued to put on the u...
