The 2024-2025 basketball season is well underway, and the teams from Cedarcrest and Skyline are both grappling with challenges as they navigate through their respective schedules. Let’s take a closer look at the current state of these teams based on their performance so far this season.

Cedarcrest’s Record and Performance

Cedarcrest High School’s basketball team has faced a mixed bag of results in the early part of the 2024-2025 season. With an overall record of 2-4, the team has struggled to find consistency, particularly at home, where they’ve only managed a 1-3 record. On the road, their record stands at 1-1, which offers some hope for future games.

Despite the record, Cedarcrest’s average scoring rate per game stands at 43.5 points, which places them in a position to compete in close matchups. Their points scored (PF) and points allowed (PA) tally at 261 and 300, respectively, suggesting that while their offense has room for improvement, the defensive side of the game has also posed some challenges.

Cedarcrest has faced a variety of opponents this season, including notable games against Hazen and Juanita, with highlight videos showcasing some of their moments from these matchups. Their next big challenge comes on January 10, 2025, when they take on Eastlake at home, followed by an away game on February 4, 2025.

Skyline’s Struggles

Skyline’s season has been a difficult one thus far, with a winless record of 0-4. The team has yet to find success in district games, where they hold a 0-3 record, and their performance at home and away has been equally underwhelming, with both records sitting at 0-2. Skyline’s scoring average of 41.8 points per game is slightly below that of Cedarcrest, and with 267 points scored against them so far, their defense appears to be a primary concern.

Skyline’s struggles are especially visible when it comes to their district performance, with a district win percentage of 0.000%. This marks a season in need of a major turnaround if they hope to challenge for playoff contention.

Skyline’s next significant match comes on December 20, 2024, when they take on Eastlake, before facing Cedarcrest in early 2025. While the team has had difficulty posting victories so far, there is always room for improvement as the season progresses.

Common Opponents and Looking Ahead

Both teams have a common opponent in Eastlake, with Cedarcrest playing them on January 10, 2025, and Skyline set to face them a week earlier on December 20, 2024. This provides an interesting insight into how the two teams might compare against a similar challenge.

With both Cedarcrest and Skyline struggling to find their rhythm this season, much will depend on how they adapt and regroup in their upcoming games. Cedarcrest, while also facing adversity, has at least shown some resilience with a 1-1 road record, offering hope that they can build on that momentum in future contests. Skyline, on the other hand, will need to find a way to improve both offensively and defensively to avoid the risk of continuing their winless streak.

Conclusion

As the season moves forward, both Cedarcrest and Skyline have significant opportunities ahead of them to improve and bounce back from their early-season struggles. Whether it’s Cedarcrest’s attempt to capitalize on their road success or Skyline’s search for that elusive first win, both teams will need to dig deep to turn their fortunes around. Fans and supporters can look forward to some competitive games in the coming months as these two Washington high school basketball teams continue their journeys in the 2024-2025 season.
