DAVENPORT – After originally not including teachers and childcare workers in the current 1B phase of vaccination, Gov. Jay Inslee pivoted and declared educators and licensed childcare workers should be added to the current phase “immediately.” Inslee’s flip came after President Joe Biden issued a directive that all states should prioritize the vaccination of educators and childcare workers. Inslee said he will “soon” announce when the state will prioritize grocery store workers, farmworkers, food processors, bus drivers and...

REARDAN – The school board didn’t discuss or approve many groundbreaking or town-altering items at its Feb. 24 meeting, but the docket was full nonetheless. The meeting included a presentation from mayor Gail Daniels, who highlighted the developing partnership between the town and school district.

DAVENPORT-Don't celebrate yet, but as of this issue, spring is less than a month away as the snow begins to melt here in town. While many will look forward to the prospect of warmer temperatures and equate that with more outdoors opportunities, there are still a few options while winter is still on scene. However, it remains undeniably true that options will increase come spring time. The Times caught up with Lincoln County Fish and Wildlife officer Curt Wood to check in on...
DAVENPORT—Darby Soliday was inches away from a heroic hat trick that would’ve likely given Davenport a 3-2 win over Northwest Christian, but her shot at the end of overtime hit off the top post of the goal.

The end result was a 2-2 tie between the Gorillas (0-1-1) and Crusaders (0-1-1). Look for more on today’s game in next week’s edition of The Times....

REARDAN – It may have been the inaugural game in program history, but that didn't stop the Reardan Indians from scoring early and often in a 7-1 drubbing of the Kettle Falls Bulldogs Tuesday, Feb. 23.

REARDAN – Football was back in jamboree form Monday, Feb. 22, as the Reardan Indians hosted the Davenport Gorillas and Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Broncos for varsity and junior varsity jamboree-style scrimmages. Each varsity offense played each school's varsity defense once, with the same scenario for junior varsity. Each series ran between 8-14 plays, as officials let teams finish drives, nearly all of which intentionally started at the opponent's 40-yard-line. Davenport c...
DAVENPORT-Some late-game heroics from Davenport's Darby Soliday were overshadowed by even later heroics from St. George's Margreit Galow. Galow scored a high-arching goal from about 25 yards out in the last minute and the Dragons (2-0) topped the Gorillas (0-1) 3-2 Thursday in Davenport's first game in 15 months after winning the state 2B title in 2019. Soliday tied the game with her second goal with 6:30 remaining, but the celebration was short lived after St. George's...

DAVENPORT--Sports were back tonight in Davenport. Unfortunately for the Gorillas, it was the Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Broncos who came to town and used strong serve attacks and solid defense to sweep Davenport (0-1) in three sets, 25-13, 25-20, 25-10. It was the first match for either team since Fall 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, players had to wear masks and sit six feet apart from each other on the bench.

Diefe added four aces, and Jocelynn Hottell had three blocks for the victorious Tigers. Kendall Little had 10 digs and two blocks for Reardan, while Emma Flaa had six assists and...
DAVENPORT – It’s becoming routine at this point: The Lincoln County Health Department applies for new Moderna vaccine doses aimed at preventing COVID-19 infection. The state doesn’t provide any new doses, while mass vaccination sites, such as the Spokane Arena, receive doses in the thousands. That was the case this week for the third week in a row, health department public health administrator Ed Dzedzy informed the county commissioners at their Feb. 16 meeting. This week, however, a new wrinkle was thrown in, and it invol...

DAVENPORT – After a long, long, long wait, seniors playing fall sports are finally prepping for a season after a year-plus long hiatus.

DAVENPORT – Standout high school track, soccer and basketball athlete Darby Soliday is headed to Pocatello, Idaho to attend Idaho State University to run hurdles and similar short events. Soliday, a senior, signed her letter of intent at a ceremony at the high school Feb. 9.

ISU competes in the Big Sky Conference and has a c...
