Cardozo’s scoring average appears to be higher compared to Indian Creek, with a team average of 72.5 points per game.

Team Scoring Comparison

  • Q3: 10.3 points
  • Q4: 17.7 points
  • Overall: 54.3 points per game

Indian Creek has managed to score a decent amount in the first and fourth quarters, but they seem to struggle in the second and third quarters, where their point totals drop significantly. This inconsistency may be one of the reasons for their winless record so far.

• Cardozo has an impressive average of 72.5 points per game, though specific quarter-by-quarter breakdowns are unavailable. Given the team’s higher points per game, it is likely they have maintained a more consistent offensive output throughout games.

In contrast, Cardozo’s team leader in scoring remains undisclosed, but with a team average of 72.5 points per game, it’s clear they have a more spread-out scoring distribution or possibly multiple contributors averaging higher than Indian Creek’s leader.

Conclusion

Indian Creek has struggled to find consistency this season, as evidenced by their winless record and low scoring averages. They will need to find a way to improve both their offense and defense if they hope to get back into the win column.

On the other hand, Cardozo has shown promise with a .500 record, particularly at home. With a higher scoring average, they have the potential to build on their performances and make strides in the remainder of the season.

Both teams have room for improvement, but the early indicators suggest that Cardozo has the upper hand—especially at home—while Indian Creek will need to make adjustments to get their season back on track.
