As the 2024-2025 basketball season heats up, two teams in the Oregon high school basketball scene are making waves: Crook County and La Salle. Both teams have shown impressive skills on the court, but their performance metrics and head-to-head records highlight key differences that are worth exploring.

Comparing the Records

When comparing Crook County and La Salle’s season breakdowns, several key factors emerge:

Crook County’s 4-3 record includes three non-league games (3-3) and no league games yet, whereas La Salle has a 3-2 record with both league (0-0) and non-league (3-2) matchups.
• Home and Away Games: Crook County’s home performance has been balanced with a 1-1 record, and they’ve shown strength in neutral games with a 3-1 record. In contrast, La Salle’s performance has been steady across all venues with a 1-1 record at home, a 1-1 record away, and a flawless 1-0 record in neutral games.

Common Opponents

• La Salle vs. Summit: On December 17, 2024, La Salle faced Summit and emerged victorious with a 62-51 win, showcasing their ability to compete at a high level.

Final Thoughts

Both Crook County and La Salle have had their ups and downs during the 2024-2025 season, but La Salle’s slightly better overall record and higher scoring averages set them apart. The teams’ ability to perform in different game settings (home, away, and neutral) will play a significant role as the season progresses.

With a record of 0-1 against common opponent Summit, Crook County still has room for improvement, particularly when it comes to competing against teams with similar skill levels. On the other hand, La Salle’s 1-0 record against Summit adds to their strong resume, making them a formidable opponent as they continue their season.

As both teams strive for consistency and growth, it will be interesting to see how their paths cross again and whether they can build upon their respective strengths to reach their season goals.
