Crossings Christian vs. Glenpool: A Statistical Breakdown of the 2024-2025 Season

As the 2024-2025 basketball season progresses, Crossings Christian and Glenpool are experiencing contrasting outcomes on the court. With distinct records and scoring averages, these teams are navigating their respective challenges in Oklahoma high school basketball. Let’s break down their performance, scoring trends, and head-to-head comparisons.

Record and Overall Performance

Crossings Christian has had an impressive start to the season, boasting an 11-3 overall record, which translates to a .786 win percentage. Their district performance is solid as well, with a 2-1 record, and they have been dominant at home, where they have a 9-1 record. This suggests that they have found a strong rhythm on their home court, but they’ve faced some difficulties in away games with a 2-2 record.

In contrast, Glenpool has faced a more challenging season, holding a 3-10 overall record with a win percentage of just .231. Their away performances have been especially tough, with a 2-6 record, while their home court has also provided limited success with a 1-4 mark. Despite their struggles, the team remains focused on improving their game throughout the season.

Team Scoring Averages

Scoring is a key element of any team’s performance, and both teams show distinct patterns in their offensive output.

Crossings Christian has a well-balanced attack, averaging 68.9 points per game. They are especially strong in the first and third quarters, where they average 16.8 and 18.4 points, respectively. Their fourth-quarter performance is solid as well, adding another 16.0 points. This consistent scoring ability suggests that they are a well-coached team that can adapt and perform across various stages of the game.

On the other hand, Glenpool struggles to maintain offensive consistency, averaging just 50.3 points per game. They show potential in the third quarter with 18.5 points but falter significantly in the first half, averaging only 14.0 points in the opening quarter and 9.0 in the second. Their second-half efforts show some promise, but their inability to generate a strong start has been one of the team’s persistent challenges.

Common Opponents

Both teams have faced Bishop McGuinness, a common opponent this season, but the outcomes could not have been more different.

• Crossings Christian secured a 64-55 victory over Bishop McGuinness on January 17, 2025, showing that they are capable of competing with tough opponents.
• Glenpool, however, lost to Bishop McGuinness earlier in the season, falling 62-49 on December 6, 2024. This contrast in results highlights the significant disparity in how these teams match up against similarly ranked opponents.

Head-to-Head Record

While the season is far from over, Crossings Christian holds a 1-0 advantage over Glenpool in head-to-head matchups. This win came earlier in the season, and while there are still opportunities for Glenpool to adjust and improve, Crossings Christian has shown a clear edge thus far.

Looking Ahead

Crossings Christian will continue to build on their strong record and aim to capitalize on their home-court advantage. Their offensive balance and ability to perform across all four quarters will likely help them remain competitive in district play. Glenpool, on the other hand, will need to address their early-game struggles and find ways to generate more consistent offensive production throughout the entire game if they want to turn their season around.

With more matchups on the horizon, including a rematch with Bishop McGuinness for Glenpool on February 7, 2025, both teams have the opportunity to make adjustments and impact the rest of their season.
