Shadle Park turns tables on CV
Shadle Park was without Lexie Pettersen when it lost to Central Valley when the two teams met in a Greater Spokane League girls basketball game to open the season.
Pettersen was back and the Highlanders (12-3) reversed the outcome – but just barely.
Shadle escaped 42-40 at Spokane Falls Community College on Tuesday night when the Bears (7-8) missed two shots in the last 3 seconds of the game, including a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
It was the third straight two-point loss for hard-luck CV.
Shadle led after a quarter, but the Bears rallied for a 31-26 advantage heading into the final period. But the Highlanders came through, winning their third game with a big finish.
This time they outscored the Bears 16-9 – Lindsay Niemeier with seven of those points. Bianca Pope had a team-high 14 points, 11 rebounds, five steals and four assists. Justine Bowman scored 14 for CV.
University 51, North Central 34: The host Titans (10-4) built a first-half lead but needed a strong fourth quarter to get past the Indians (4-11).

Gonzaga Prep 62, Rogers 30: The visiting Bullpups (7-8) tied CV for fifth place in the GSL with a victory over the Pirates (0-14). A 25-9 third-quarter advantage sealed the win.
