DAVENPORT--The local community is mourning the loss of one of its own today. Ruthie J. Massie, 21, Davenport was killed in a single-vehicle rollover crash that also injured five girls Monday, Feb. 21, according to a release from Washington State Patrol. According to the report, a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Massie was traveling eastbound on Highway 2 when it lost control and flipped off the highway north into the field north of Highway 2, where it came to rest upright. Four of the passengers were 11-year-old girls and...
SPOKANE VALLEY-In typical Reardan fashion, the girls' loser-out game against No. 6 Lind-Ritzville/Sprague wasn't always pretty. But the senior leadership of Ayden Krupke and Madi Dewey was enough to push the girls past the Broncos 48-46 Thursday, Feb. 17 to survive and advance to the final day of the District 7 2B Tournament. LRS started off with the advantage, building a first-half lead that ballooned to as many as 11 points as Reardan was sloppy and inconsistent offensively....
SPOKANE VALLEY-Two nights ago, No. 3 Davenport was a controversial no-call away from upsetting No. 2 Colfax, advancing to the district finals and earning an automatic berth to state. But it wasn't to be, and tonight it was No. 5 Lind-Ritzville/Sprague doing the upsetting as the Broncos ended the Gorillas' season with a 65-58 victory in a District 7 2B Tournament loser-out game Thursday, Feb. 17 at West Valley High School. The Gorillas didn't look particularly rusty out of the...

DAVENPORT—Brandy J. Hood, a Reardan woman who was found guilty by a jury on four counts of fourth-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault and one count of harassment with the threat to kill Jan. 18, won’t be receiving a new trial.
