Cascade Christian Challengers (2024-25 Season)
Cascade Christian’s season has been more of a mixed bag, with an overall record of 2-2. While they are still finding their rhythm in league and non-league play, they have excelled in neutral site games, where they are undefeated at 2-0. However, their struggles on the road (0-1) and at home (0-1) have impacted their winning percentage, currently sitting at .500.

- Points Against (PA): 221
- Team Scoring Average (Final): 61.3 points per game
The Challengers have yet to face a common opponent, but upcoming matchups against Douglas and Brookings-Harbor will provide an opportunity to measure their progress. With no league games under their belt yet, there is still plenty of time for Cascade Christian to establish themselves as a competitive force.
Head-to-Head and Common Opponents

Creswell has a victory over Douglas, while Cascade Christian is set to play them on January 9, 2025. These matchups will provide valuable insights into how the two teams stack up.
Looking Ahead
For Creswell, the focus will be on maintaining their momentum and dominance, particularly in non-league games, as they prepare for more challenging matchups later in the season. Their ability to close out games with consistent scoring and a strong defense will be key to their continued success.
Cascade Christian, on the other hand, will look to improve their road and home performances. With a solid scoring average of 61.3 points per game, they have the tools to compete but will need to tighten their defense and capitalize on opportunities to turn close games into wins.
Conclusion
Creswell’s consistency and strong start make them a formidable contender in the 2024-25 season, while Cascade Christian’s balanced scoring and potential for growth suggest they may yet emerge as a dark horse. As the season progresses, both teams will have opportunities to prove themselves in key matchups and potentially cross paths in what would be an exciting showdown.
