“We’ve always on this side of the state had some good teams,” CV girls coach Freddie Rehkow said.
“I’m the same way,  just winning over here isn’t our end goal. We want to take care of business all the way around. We’ve got good teams here and I think we’re going to see that as we go against the MCC (in districts).”
Rehkow’s star pupil concurred.
“I think it’s really cool to show up at the state tournament with two Spokane teams No. 1, really showing what Spokane’s all about,” said CV’s Lexie Hull, the reigning girls’ Gatorade player of the year. “Just representing the east side well.”
The Central Valley girls just completed their third consecutive undefeated regular season, led once again by seniors Lexie and Lacie Hull, 6-foot-2 twins committed to Stanford for next season.
The Hulls have lost just six games total in their high school career. They own one state title, as sophomores in 2016, to go with last year’s disappointment of being upset in a quarterfinal game and fifth-place showing.
“They’ve worked really hard and to go the last three years in league undefeated that’s a testament to how hard they work,” CV coach Rehkow said.
“It’s definitely a thing (going undefeated) we want to get every year, but it’s not our end goal,” Lexie Hull said. “We’re just shooting for that last game of the year. Hopefully we get there.”
