Harvey’s scoring edge suggests a potential offensive advantage, though the small sample size makes it difficult to draw definitive conclusions. Both teams will aim to increase consistency in their scoring.

Common Opponents

Garrison and Harvey share several opponents this season, but their results so far differ.

• Harvey: Yet to face Velva

Upcoming matchups against Central McLean and Westhope/Newburg will provide additional comparative data on the two teams’ performances against shared opponents.

Home and Away Trends

• Neither team has played at home yet, making their home-court potential a mystery.
• Garrison’s ability to secure a road win is a positive sign, while Harvey will need to adjust after their first away loss.

Strengths and Areas for Improvement

• Garrison: Needs to tighten up defensively after allowing an average of 58 points per game. Maintaining offensive pressure will be crucial as they face tougher competition.
• Harvey: A solid first-game performance offensively sets a foundation, but their defense will need to step up against higher-scoring teams.

Outlook

Both teams are early in their seasons, leaving plenty of room for growth and adjustments. The next few games will be crucial for establishing momentum and refining strategies. Garrison’s road-tested resilience and Harvey’s offensive potential make for an intriguing matchup should the two teams meet later in the season. Fans can expect competitive performances as both squads look to make their mark.

As the season progresses, keep an eye on how each team evolves, particularly against common opponents. With a blend of talent and determination, both Garrison and Harvey have the tools to compete and succeed.
