GSL girls: Despite loss to Central Valley, Mt. Spokane earns top district seed

The Mt. Spokane girls basketball team is headed to the 3A subregional against the Mid-Columbia Conference.

Despite falling 64-22 to Central Valley on the final night of Greater Spokane League play, the Wildcats secured the No. 1 seed to the District 8 3A tournament when University handled North Central 62-39.

Had Mt. Spokane and NC finished tied, the Indians would have earned the top district seed because they swept the Wildcats.

At CV, the No. 1-ranked Bears (20-0, 18-0) had no difficulty dispatching the Wildcats (11-9, 9-9). Lexie Hull had 21 points and twin sister Lacie added 10. Hailey Christopher also had 10.

CV became the third team in school history to go undefeated in the regular season.

The Bears open District 8 4A play Feb. 12 when they take on the winner of Tuesday’s loser-out opener between U-Hi and Gonzaga Prep at U-Hi.

University 62, North Central 39: The visiting Titans (11-9, 11-7) jumped all over the Indians, leading 23-2 by the end of the first quarter. Brooke Bailey led U-Hi with 24 points and Kaitlin Pannell had 21. Quincy McDeid led NC (8-12, 8-10) with nine. NC plays host to Shadle Park in a loser-out district opener Tuesday.

Lewis and Clark 64, Mead 44: The visiting Tigers (16-4, 16-2) surged to a double-digit lead and held the margin through the second half. Riley Lupfer led LC with 22 points and Taylor Cunningham had 16. Alyse Jackson and Aaliyah Pauling had 13 apiece for Mead (12-8, 11-7). The team meets in a district opener Thursday at LC.

Gonzaga Prep 61, Shadle Park: The visiting Bullpups (9-11, 9-9) opened a 29-10 lead over the Highlanders (3-17, 3-15) and added to the margin in the final two quarters. Taylor Drynan led G-Prep with 19 points and Molly McDermott added 10. Abby Bauernfeind led Shadle with 12.

Ferris 64, Rogers 40: The visiting Saxons (6-14, 5-13) put three players in double figures, opening a 39-15 lead by halftime. Kayla Sharp led Ferris with 14 points, Abby Muelheim had 13 and Brook Goodwin had 12. Shaeli Morrison led Rogers (1-19, 0-18) with 12 and Tia Kendall had 11.
