Game preview: Holland Hall vs Heritage Hall

As the 2024-2025 high school football season progresses, the competition between Heritage Hall and Holland Hall has captured attention with contrasting records and playing styles. Both teams are strong contenders in Oklahoma Class 2A football, but their paths to success have varied in several key areas.

Record Overview

• Heritage Hall has proven to be a powerhouse this season with an impressive 10-1 overall record. They dominated their district with a perfect 7-0 district record, making them the undisputed champions of their district. Their win percentage of .909 is a testament to their consistency throughout the season.
• Holland Hall, while still competitive, holds a 7-4 overall record. Their district play has been a bit more challenging with a 4-3 district record, finishing in the middle of the pack. Despite the challenges, Holland Hall’s win percentage of .636 reflects their solid performance, although not at the same dominant level as Heritage Hall.

Scoring Averages

When comparing the teams’ scoring averages, the difference is clear:

• Heritage Hall has been highly efficient, averaging 37.4 points per game. Their scoring breakdown per quarter shows a well-rounded offense that gets stronger as the game progresses: 14 points in Q1, 15 points in Q2, 0 points in Q3, and 6 points in Q4.
• Holland Hall, on the other hand, has struggled to put up points, averaging 25.9 points per game. Their points per quarter are quite low, especially in the first half: 2.3 points in Q1 and Q2, 4.3 points in Q3, and a blank 0 points in Q4. This indicates that they often start slow and have difficulty finishing strong, especially in close games.

Common Opponents

One notable common opponent for both teams this season is Lincoln Christian. Unfortunately for both teams, Lincoln Christian came out on top in these matchups:

• Heritage Hall faced Lincoln Christian on September 6, 2024, at home and lost 28-20.
• Holland Hall faced Lincoln Christian on October 4, 2024, at home and suffered a much more lopsided defeat, 55-0.

Both teams share this tough loss, but the magnitude of the loss for Holland Hall was significantly greater, underscoring the difference in performance levels between the two teams.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Heritage Hall has been a dominant force both at home and on the road, finishing 5-1 at home and a perfect 5-0 away. Their ability to win on both ends of the schedule makes them one of the top teams in the state.

Holland Hall has been stronger at home, going 4-1, but struggled more away, with a 3-3 record on the road. They will need to improve their road performance and consistency to compete at the highest level in future seasons.

Playoff Potential

In terms of playoff performance, Heritage Hall enters with momentum, boasting a 1-0 record in playoff games this season. With their strong overall performance, they are poised for a deep playoff run.

Holland Hall, however, will need to leverage their remaining regular season games to build momentum and resolve some of the issues that have kept them from being more consistent in the district.

Conclusion

While Heritage Hall has clearly had the stronger season with a better overall record and more explosive offense, Holland Hall remains a competitive team with potential for growth. As the season continues, fans of both schools will be watching closely to see how these teams fare in their respective final games and potential playoff runs. For now, Heritage Hall stands as the stronger of the two, but Holland Hall’s tenacity should not be overlooked.
