Charles Page vs. Edison: A Statistical Showdown

As the 2024-2025 basketball season heats up, one matchup that stands out is between Charles Page and Edison, two teams with contrasting records and performances. Let’s take a closer look at their statistics, team scoring averages, and individual performances to understand what makes these two teams tick.

Team Overview

Charles Page has had an undefeated season so far, with a perfect 6-0 overall record. They have been dominant in district play, boasting a 3-0 district record, and their impressive 5-0 performance in away games is a testament to their strength on the road. Their offensive power is evident, averaging 74 points per game and leading in virtually every statistical category. This balanced team has consistently outperformed their opponents, with 444 points scored against 310 conceded, showcasing both offensive and defensive prowess.

Edison, on the other hand, has struggled this season, with a 1-3 overall record. Their performance has been underwhelming, particularly in away games where they have yet to secure a win, posting a 0-1 away record. Despite their challenges, Edison has shown some resilience, with a .500 district record (1-1). Their scoring average is much lower than Charles Page, with just 45.8 points per game, and they have allowed 215 points against them so far. Their season has been a tough one, but they still have a chance to turn things around.

Scoring Averages and Performance Breakdown

Looking at the team scoring averages, Charles Page dominates in all areas. They score 74 points per game, with consistent contributions across all quarters. While the specific quarter-wise breakdown isn’t available, their overall scoring speaks for itself. In contrast, Edison struggles to maintain scoring momentum throughout the game, with their scoring distribution being much more uneven. Their average of 45.8 points per game is significantly lower, and their scoring output dips in the later stages of games.

Here is a closer look at their team stat comparison:

• Charles Page:
  • 62 points per game
  • 27.5 rebounds per game
  • 11.5 assists per game
  • 6.2 steals per game
  • 2.0 blocks per game

Edison lacks detailed statistical data, but the disparity in Charles Page’s all-around stats highlights their superiority in various aspects of the game, from offensive to defensive play.

Key Players

One of the standout players for Charles Page is #21 Deke Thompson, who leads the team in virtually every major statistical category. Thompson is averaging 19.8 points per game, 5.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.8 steals, and 0.8 blocks. His all-around performance has been a crucial factor in the team’s undefeated record, making him one of the most influential players in the district.

Edison, however, lacks the same standout player, and the absence of notable statistical leaders might be one reason for their struggles this season. Without a clear dominant force like Thompson, Edison has found it difficult to compete at the same level.

Head-to-Head and Common Opponents

In their most recent common matchup against Will Rogers College, Charles Page came out victorious, winning 66-61. Edison, on the other hand, faced Will Rogers College earlier in the season and suffered a 49-42 loss. These results highlight the difference in the teams’ current form, with Charles Page showing resilience and Edison still searching for answers.

The upcoming games will be crucial for both teams, as Charles Page continues to look for an undefeated season, while Edison hopes to regain some form and build momentum.

Conclusion

Charles Page is the clear favorite in this matchup, with an undefeated record and a dominant statistical performance across the board. They have proven themselves to be a formidable team, and their consistency in both offense and defense sets them apart. Edison, while still a work in progress, will need to make significant improvements to compete at a higher level. The next few games will be critical for both teams as they head toward the latter half of the season. Will Charles Page maintain their perfect record, or will Edison pull off an upset? Only time will tell.
