Horizon Christian and Columbia Christian Basketball: A Season Overview
As the 2024-2025 basketball season continues to unfold, Horizon Christian and Columbia Christian are making their marks, each with varying performances and challenges. Let’s take a closer look at how both teams are faring so far in terms of records, team statistics, and their head-to-head competition.
Horizon Christian (24-25 Season)
Horizon Christian enters the season with an overall record of 4-4, which shows a balanced mix of victories and defeats. The team has performed well in league play, posting a 1-0 record. This gives Horizon Christian a strong start within their conference, with home games proving especially beneficial, where they have a perfect 2-0 record. However, the road has been more difficult, with the team struggling to secure wins away from home, recording only 1-2 in away games and 1-2 in neutral site contests. Their overall win percentage stands at .500, but in league play, they are undefeated with a 1.000 win percentage.
In terms of scoring, Horizon Christian averages 54.1 points per game, showcasing their ability to generate offense. However, their defensive efforts have been a mixed bag, allowing 435 points over the season. The close nature of their games is evident, with the team’s point differential sitting at just -2 points (433 points scored versus 435 points allowed).
Record Breakdown:
- Overall Record: 4-4
- League Record: 1-0
- Home Record: 2-0
- Away Record: 1-2

Columbia Christian (24-25 Season)
On the other side, Columbia Christian is still searching for their first win of the season. With a current record of 0-2, the team has struggled to find their rhythm. Columbia Christian has yet to secure a victory either at home or on the road, posting an 0-1 record in both categories. Their two losses have come against tough opponents, including a recent matchup against Horizon Christian’s common opponent, Grand View Christian Academy. The team has been outscored significantly, with 88 points scored and 136 points allowed.
While the season is still in its early stages, Columbia Christian has faced challenges in both offense and defense, averaging just 44.0 points per game. They will need to regroup and improve both ends of the floor to get back on track.

Common Opponents
Both Horizon Christian and Columbia Christian share at least one common opponent so far this season: Grand View Christian Academy. Horizon Christian faced them on December 14, 2024, in a hard-fought game where they lost 47-38. Columbia Christian, on the other hand, took on Grand View Christian Academy just three days later, but they still have yet to secure a win in their meeting with the same opponent.
In terms of head-to-head record between Horizon Christian and Columbia Christian, they have not yet faced each other this season, but both teams are likely looking forward to that matchup, especially as the season progresses.
Key Takeaways:
- Horizon Christian has shown some promise, particularly at home, and is performing well in league play. Their overall 4-4 record demonstrates potential, though they will need to improve on the road to elevate their season.
- Columbia Christian, still winless, will need to address both their offensive and defensive struggles if they hope to turn things around in the coming games.
As both teams continue through the 2024-2025 season, all eyes will be on how they adjust and how the rest of the competition unfolds. Horizon Christian has the advantage for now, but the season is long, and Columbia Christian could still make a strong comeback with time and adjustments.
