Calhoun Falls Charter: Struggling Through a Tough Season

In their region games, they’ve yet to secure a win, finishing 0-5. When playing at home, they managed a 2-3 record, but on the road, they struggled, going 0-5.
The team’s offensive struggles have been evident in their scoring averages. Over the course of the season, Calhoun Falls Charter has averaged only 14.4 points per game. This lack of offensive production has contributed to a difficult year, with a total of 431 points allowed and just 144 points scored. The team’s defensive difficulties have also made it hard to compete at a higher level, and this season will likely be one of reflection as they work toward improving for future years.
Lewisville: Dominating the Field
In stark contrast, Lewisville’s football program has been a powerhouse. With a remarkable 9-1 overall record, the team has proven its dominance both within its region and beyond. They boast a perfect 5-0 record in region play, securing all their league wins. At home, Lewisville is nearly untouchable, holding a 5-1 record, and on the road, they’ve also performed well, with a 3-0 record. The team’s only loss came in a non-league game, but even then, they’ve proven themselves as one of the top contenders in the state.
Lewisville’s offensive firepower has been a key driver of their success. Averaging 34.9 points per game, their scoring output is nearly three times that of Calhoun Falls Charter. Their ability to consistently score throughout the game, with an average of 10.3 points in the first quarter, has put them ahead early in many contests. The team’s defense has also been stout, allowing just 101 points all season.
Head-to-Head & Common Opponents
Though Calhoun Falls Charter and Lewisville haven’t faced each other yet this season, their overall records and scoring averages paint a clear picture of the differences in their current forms. Calhoun Falls Charter’s offense, struggling to break double digits, would be hard-pressed against the potent Lewisville defense. On the other hand, Lewisville’s balanced and explosive offense presents a daunting challenge for any opponent.
Both teams will face common opponents in the future, and it will be interesting to see how they fare against similar competition. Given their differing records, many expect Lewisville to continue their strong season, while Calhoun Falls Charter will look for ways to build momentum and improve.
Looking Ahead
As the season progresses, Calhoun Falls Charter will need to focus on developing their offense and tightening up their defense if they hope to end the year on a positive note. Meanwhile, Lewisville will look to carry their impressive form into the playoffs and make a deep run for the championship, as they continue to dominate with an undefeated region record.
With contrasting records, these two teams represent different sides of the high school football spectrum, but both will use their seasons to build towards the future.
