Can Gonzaga Prep Maintain Their Undefeated Season?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At some point, every undefeated run invites the same question.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Gonzaga Prep Bullpups</strong> sits at <strong>16–0 overall and 6–0 in league play</strong>, holding the <strong>No. 1 spot in the GSL</strong> and <strong>No. 4 in the state</strong>. They are winning games and separating themselves, outscoring opponents by <strong>more than 31 points per game</strong> on average.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is the Greater Spokane League, where familiarity breeds chaos and any night can belong to anyone. But through the heart of the season, Gonzaga Prep hasn't seemed to allow that to be the case. The question now isn't whether the Bullpups are good enough, but whether their momentum is simply too strong to slow down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are many standouts on this roster, but these 5 have our attention. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["748943"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697bfa357f0f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cornwall has proven she can take over a game when the moment calls for it. But just as importantly, she's shown the confidence to <em>not</em> do so when it doesn't. She's comfortable sliding into a facilitator role, trusting teammates, and letting the game come to her. That balance has been a key ingredient in Gonzaga Prep's efficiency, allowing the offense to stay unpredictable and hard to load up against.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1138298"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697bfa357f169"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hernandez brings steady production and versatility. She's willing to attack the paint and make something happen through contact, but she can also stretch the floor and become a perimeter threat in a hurry. Her ability to score in multiple ways keeps defenses guessing and adds another layer to Gonzaga Prep's already difficult coverage decisions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1051357"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697bfa357f1bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Largent's value shows up in activity and awareness. As a role player, she's consistently engaged when she's on the floor, and her basketball IQ is tangible in how she moves, defends, and keeps possessions clean. She's gaining valuable experience in meaningful minutes. Experience that points toward a larger role as the program continues forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1049371"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697bfa357f20c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thompson is an athlete and a competitor in every sense. She makes sure her presence is felt defensively, applying pressure and setting a physical tone. Often, the game rewards that effort with tough buckets that seem to drop at the right moments. Her impact may not always start in the scoring column, but it consistently ends up there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1051355"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697bfa357f25b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">For Pederson, this season feels like the culmination of years of work. A senior and a leader, she's playing with the poise and understanding that comes from experience. She steadies the group, communicates, and helps Gonzaga Prep stay locked in through long stretches of dominance. When teams try to disrupt rhythm, her presence helps restore it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Undefeated records in the GSL don't come without challenges. Familiar opponents, quick turnarounds, and physical matchups can level the field on any given night. But Gonzaga Prep has paired talent with balance, confidence with discipline, and momentum with maturity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Can they remain undefeated? That answer will reveal itself soon enough.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What's clear right now is this: <strong>Gonzaga Prep isn't just winning games...they're setting a standard</strong>, and every opponent left on the schedule will be measured against it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
