SPOKANE-1961, 2009 and 2023. Those are the three years that the Davenport boys basketball team made the B State Championship game. The only team to win that game? This year's iteration of the Gorillas, who came back to defeat No. 5 Brewster 65-58 in the 2B State Championship game at the Spokane Arena Saturday, March 4 to capture the program's first state title in school history.

DAVENPORT - A 16-year-old boy who was arrested following the Feb. 22 shooting death of 15-year-old Shadrach Hall-Turner in Reardan was charged with first-degree manslaughter and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm while under the age of 18.

SPOKANE-After the No. 4 Columbia (Burbank) Coyotes blew the doors off No. 3 Lake Roosevelt in the second half of a quarterfinal matchup Thursday, one might have wondered if the young and talented Coyotes could challenge No. 1 Davenport for a state title. The Gorillas showed in the 2B state semifinals Friday that that was not the case, never trailing against Columbia en route to a convincing 76-52 win at the Spokane Arena Friday, March 3. Davenport advanced to the state...
SPOKANE—Another big game from the dynamic duo of Jessie Reed and Marilla Hockett was enough for the Oakesdale Nighthawks to keep their season alive while sending the Odessa Tigers home in the process. Oakesdale beat Odessa 56-48 in a loser-out game at the Spokane Arena Friday, March 3. The loss ended the Tigers’ season, one in which Odessa advanced to Arena play for the first time in program history. Both offenses started at breakneck pace. Odessa would sink a shot, and Oak...
SPOKANE—There’s an old adage in sports: It’s hard to beat a team three times. No. 1 Davenport found that to be especially true if you up that number to four, but the Gorillas did just enough to hold off District 7 rival Northwest Christian 62-58 in the 2B state quarterfinals Thursday, March 2. The win was, indeed, Davenport’s fourth in as many tries against the Crusaders this season. But No. 7 NWC did not make it easy at the Spokane Arena Thursday. “Three times is never eas...
SPOKANE—A four-game winning streak came to an end for the Odessa girls in the 1B state quarterfinals. The Tigers fell to the Mt.

The second quarter belonged to the Hurricanes. MVC built a 24-14 lead by intermission. That lead only expanded in the third quarter, as Odessa continued to struggle g...
