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...

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.

Senior Kobe Martinez competed in the 220-pound weight class and won his only match. Fellow senior Mahkai Anderson, a 170-pounder, w...

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.

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...
