Despite a slightly lower win percentage of .714, Cove has shown strong home court advantage with a 4-1 record at home. Their average scoring stands at 48.1 points per game, indicating that while they may not have the same offensive firepower as Enterprise, they are capable of competing at a high level.

The most recent matchup between these two teams took place on December 7, 2024, at an away tournament for Enterprise, where they delivered an impressive 54-30 victory over Cove. This game showcased Enterprise’s strong defensive capabilities, holding Cove to just 30 points while piling up 54 points of their own. With such a decisive win, Enterprise showed why they are one of the top teams in the league.
This game, however, is already behind both teams as they look ahead to their next meeting. On December 19, 2024, the two teams will face off again in another highly anticipated game, this time hosted by Cove. The outcome of this contest will be crucial as both teams aim to build on their early season performances.
Common Opponents
Both teams have faced common opponents this season, with Enterprise holding a perfect 3-0 record against teams like Wallowa, Prairie City, and Burnt River.

For instance, Enterprise defeated Wallowa 58-19 on December 4, 2024, and Prairie City in back-to-back victories, with scores of 65-42. Cove, on the other hand, will play against Wallowa on January 2, 2025, and Prairie City on December 28, 2024. Their performance in these games could provide additional insight into how they stack up against their rivals.
Looking Ahead
As the season progresses, both teams are in strong positions to make deep runs. Enterprise’s dominance in both offense and defense makes them the favorite, but Cove’s resilience and ability to perform in high-pressure situations could still make them a tough opponent. Their upcoming game on December 19 will be an important moment in the season, and a chance for Cove to bounce back after their previous defeat.
