The 2024-2025 high school football season has been an exciting one for both Livingston Collegiate Academy and E.D. White, with each team showcasing their unique strengths. Let’s take a closer look at their overall records, performances, and scoring trends.

Team Records

Livingston Collegiate Academy (6-6)
Livingston Collegiate Academy enters the 2024-2025 season with an overall record of 6-6, reflecting a balanced mix of victories and losses. In district play, the team has struggled, posting a 1-4 record. However, they have managed to hold their own in non-district matchups with a 4-2 record. Notably, their home and away performances have been identical at 3-3, indicating their ability to compete on both fronts.

E.D. White (9-2)
E.D. White, on the other hand, has posted a highly successful season with a 9-2 overall record. Their district performance has been particularly dominant, finishing 6-1, with a perfect 6-1 record at home. On the road, they’ve proven to be equally formidable, boasting a 3-1 record. Their overall consistency has been impressive, with their only blemishes coming in non-district play.

Scoring Breakdown

Livingston Collegiate Academy
While Livingston has shown competitive spirit, their scoring averages tell a different story. The team averages just 19 points per game. In particular, their scoring has been inconsistent across the four quarters:

• Q1: 0 points
• Q2: 4 points
• Q3: 6 points
• Q4: 3 points

This indicates a slow start, particularly in the first quarter, and an inability to finish strong in the latter half of games. Despite these challenges, Livingston has managed to score a respectable total of 228 points over the course of the season, but their overall performance has been hindered by a defense that allowed 310 points.

E.D. White
E.D. White, on the other hand, has been a high-scoring team, averaging 35.3 points per game. Their offensive distribution is much more balanced throughout the game:

• Q1: 16.7 points
• Q2: 15 points
• Q3: 11.7 points
• Q4: 3.3 points

This offensive efficiency has allowed E.D. White to dominate opponents, especially in the early quarters. Their defense has also been a significant factor in their success, allowing only 109 points all season, which speaks to their ability to control the game both offensively and defensively.

Record Breakdown

• Livingston Collegiate Academy: The team’s league record stands at 1-4, significantly impacting their overall standing. Their success outside of district play, with a 4-2 non-league record, has been a positive note.
• E.D. White: With a dominant 6-1 district record and a nearly perfect 9-2 overall record, E.D. White has firmly established itself as a force to be reckoned with. Their performance in both home (6-1) and away games (3-1) further highlights their consistency across all aspects of the game.

Conclusion

In summary, E.D. White has had an exceptional season with both offensive and defensive balance, while Livingston Collegiate Academy has faced more challenges, especially in district play. While both teams have strong records, E.D. White’s superior scoring, combined with their strong defensive play, places them in a dominant position heading into the next phase of the season. Livingston Collegiate Academy, though showing promise, will need to improve its scoring consistency and defensive strength to compete more effectively in future seasons.
