The 2024-2025 season has seen both Walkersville and Glenelg put up strong performances on the field, each with distinct strengths and areas of improvement. Let’s dive into their overall records, scoring averages, and head-to-head performances to provide a comprehensive comparison.

Overall Record Breakdown

• Walkersville (24-25):
  Walkersville finished the season with an overall record of 5-5, splitting their wins and losses evenly. Within their region, they posted a 2-4 record, which reflects a challenging conference season. On the road, they struggled, winning only 2 out of 5 games. However, their home record was stronger, securing 3 wins in 5 games. Their offense produced 325 points over the season, averaging 32.5 points per game.
• Glenelg (24-25):
  Glenelg ended the season with a slightly better overall record of 6-3. They performed exceptionally well within their region, boasting a 6-2 record, and had a strong showing at home with a 3-1 record. They also showed resilience on the road, winning 3 of 5 away games. Offensively, Glenelg scored 145 points, with an average of 16.1 points per game.

Scoring Averages by Quarter

• Walkersville:
  Walkersville showed a balanced attack throughout the game. They averaged 3.5 points in the first and third quarters, while slightly improving to 7.0 points in the second and fourth quarters. Their final score of 32.5 points per game reflects their ability to push through when needed, especially in the second and fourth quarters.
• Glenelg:
  Glenelg, on the other hand, had a more consistent but lower scoring output, averaging 3.0 points in the first quarter and 7.4 points in the second. However, they faced difficulties in the second half, averaging just 1.4 points in the third quarter and 3.4 points in the fourth quarter. This inconsistency in the second half likely contributed to some of their losses despite a strong first half.

Region and Non-Region Performance

• Walkersville:
  Walkersville’s region performance was the more challenging aspect of their season. With a 2-4 record in the region, they struggled to keep up with tougher conference opponents. However, their non-league performance (2-1) helped them stay competitive. Their games against non-region teams, including home and away games, played a significant role in their overall performance.
• Glenelg:
  In contrast, Glenelg’s region record of 6-2 is a testament to their strong performance in their league. They managed a solid 3-1 record at home and were even competitive on the road with a 3-2 record. Their ability to secure victories in regional matchups played a crucial role in their successful season.

Playoff Performance

• Walkersville:
  While Walkersville had a solid overall performance, their playoff chances were limited as they finished with a 5-5 record. This kept them from advancing far into the postseason, but they certainly showed promise in several games throughout the year.
• Glenelg:
  With a 6-3 record, Glenelg managed to edge closer to a playoff berth. Their 1-0 playoff record indicates they were able to turn up their game when it counted, and their overall season reflects their potential to make deeper playoff runs in the future.

Head-to-Head and Common Opponents

Both teams did not face off during the regular season, so there’s no head-to-head record to compare. They also did not share any common opponents, making it difficult to directly gauge their strengths against the same teams. However, Glenelg’s 6-2 region record, compared to Walkersville’s 2-4, highlights Glenelg’s superior regional play.

Conclusion

While Walkersville showed resilience and a strong offensive output, especially at home, Glenelg’s overall record and impressive regional performance make them the more consistent team in the 2024-2025 season. Walkersville’s 5-5 record shows that they are capable of competing at a high level but will need to improve their region and away performances to match the consistency of teams like Glenelg.
