Hull's and CV Wrap Up Regular Season


Central Valley completes third consecutive undefeated regular season

Dave Nichols, spokesman.com, February 1, 2018

It seems only fitting that for the third season in a row Central Valley enters postseason play without a blemish on its record.
Lexie Hull scored 21 points, becoming the fourth all-time leading girls scorer in the Greater Spokane League, and the Bears cruised to a 79-40 win over Gonzaga Prep, finishing the season 20-0 and 14-0 in league for the third consecutive season.
Hull was surprised by the personal accolade.
“Really? I had no idea,” she said when informed postgame. “That’s so cool.”
It’s the Bears’ fourth straight league title and and seventh overall for the program. Central Valley is rated No. 1 in Class 4A in WIAA’s RPI system.
“They’ve worked really hard and to go the last three years undefeated in league that’s a testament to how hard they worked,” Central Valley coach Freddie Rehkow said.
“It’s definitely a thing (undefeated) we want to get every year, but it’s not our end goal,” Hull said.
“We’re just shooting for that last game of the year and hopefully we get there.”
Hull, last season’s Gatorade player of the year for Washington, and twin sister Lacie – both bound for Stanford after graduation – went 19-5 in their freshman season and haven’t lost again in the regular season.
“It doesn’t feel quite real. We’re lucky to have such a good team and players that make this possible,” said Lacie Hull. “It’s unbelievable.”
But they still have their eyes on the bigger prize.
“Our goal is the end,” Lacie Hull said. “We want to end No. 1 after state.”
With 4:31 left in the first quarter and Central Valley up 11-2, the fire alarm went off in the gym. The “all clear” was sounded before the building had been fully evacuated though and once they resumed play it was the Bears that were on fire.
Rehkow went with his second five at the start of the second quarter and Gonzaga Prep didn’t get any traction. When Rehkow went back to his starters the Bears had things well in hard with a 38-8 advantage.
Lexie Hull took over with a pair of layups and a floater and Central Valley led 46-12 at intermission.
Gonzaga Prep found a little bit of offense in the third quarter, and outscored the Bears 12-11 in the frame.
CV came back to put 22 points up i the fourth quarter, while G-Prep stayed competitive with 16.
Rehkow said he mixed his player combinations up in the second half.
“I give Gonzaga Prep a lot of credit coming out and playing hard after halftime,” Rehkow said.
