Marlow (24-25 Season)

Marlow has had a solid season so far, posting an 8-2 overall record, including a strong 6-1 performance in district play. The team’s offense has been potent, averaging 33.2 points per game, with notable success in the first two quarters, where they score an average of 9.9 points in the first and 10.1 points in the second. Their defense has also been outstanding, allowing just 80 points across the season, with an average of only 8.0 points allowed per game in district matchups.

The Marlow offense has been led by a balanced attack, scoring in all four quarters with an especially strong start to each half. However, they have faced a tough road ahead with both home and away games, achieving a solid 5-0 record at home but dropping two of their five away games.

Kingston (24-25 Season)

Kingston has had an even more impressive season, boasting an 11-1 overall record and a perfect 6-0 district mark, making them the team to beat in their region. Their offense has been a high-scoring machine, averaging 39.1 points per game. The team has been particularly strong in the third quarter, where they average 8.8 points, and have shown the ability to score in all phases of the game, including a strong 7-point average in overtime.

Key Matchups & Strengths

In terms of head-to-head play, Marlow and Kingston have yet to face off this season, making their potential playoff showdown an exciting possibility. Both teams have been nearly flawless in their district games, with Kingston perfect at 6-0 and Marlow at 6-1.

The teams’ scoring patterns show distinct strengths. Marlow has maintained a consistent scoring output, with strong performances early in games. However, Kingston’s ability to score at all points in the game, especially their dominant second half, could give them an edge in the postseason. Their high-octane offense and defense that bends but doesn’t break make Kingston a formidable opponent for anyone in the playoffs.

A Look Ahead

With both teams heading into the final stretch of the season, Marlow will need to continue to build on its home success, where it has been perfect in district play. On the other hand, Kingston will look to remain dominant, keeping its undefeated district record intact.
