The 2024-2025 season has been an exciting one for both Lomira and Belleville, two teams in Wisconsin with contrasting records and performances. While Lomira has dominated its league and boasts an impressive overall record, Belleville has faced more challenges in both conference and non-conference matchups. Let’s break down the performance of both teams and compare their standings in various categories.

Lomira’s Dominance: A Look at Their Record

Lomira enters the 2024-2025 season with a strong 24-25 overall record. Their 10-2 performance stands out, especially within the conference, where they hold an outstanding 6-1 record. At home, they have been nearly perfect, securing a 5-0 mark. On the road, they are also strong with a 3-2 record, and in neutral-site games, they are flawless with a 2-0 mark.

Team Strengths:

• Offense: Lomira’s offense has been one of the best in the state, averaging 35.4 points per game. This high-scoring performance has been the backbone of their success, allowing them to outpace opponents with ease.
• Defense: Their defense has also been a key factor, with their points allowed (PA) standing at a low 133 for the season. This reflects a balanced team that excels both offensively and defensively.
• Playoff Success: Lomira has shown consistency in the playoffs, where they remain undefeated with a perfect 3-0 record. This playoff pedigree indicates that they are not just a regular-season powerhouse but also a team that performs under pressure.

Belleville’s Challenges: A Competitive Season

Belleville’s 2024-2025 season has been more of a mixed bag. Their overall record stands at 7-6, with a 4-3 mark in conference play. They have struggled at home, posting a 1-2 record, but they have been more competitive on the road with a 2-3 performance. However, Belleville shines in neutral-site games, where they have a 4-1 record.

Team Strengths:

• Balanced Scoring: Belleville’s scoring is more evenly distributed, with the team averaging 21 points per game. They score 7 points per quarter in a fairly consistent manner across all periods, though they have struggled to put up more substantial totals like Lomira.
• Conference Play: Belleville’s conference performance (4-3) is respectable, but it does not compare to Lomira’s near-perfect league record. Their stronger performance in neutral-site games suggests they perform well under specific conditions but have not been able to fully execute in their home games or on the road.

Head-to-Head Record

In head-to-head matchups, Lomira and Belleville have not yet faced off this season. However, looking at their respective records, Lomira’s overwhelming advantage in both offense and defense would likely give them the edge in any future matchup.

Key Matchup Insights

• Home vs. Away: Lomira has been exceptional at home (5-0) and on the neutral court (2-0), which gives them a huge advantage in these situations. On the other hand, Belleville has shown more resilience on the road (2-3) compared to their home performances (1-2).
• Conference Performance: Lomira has been nearly unbeatable in conference play with a 6-1 record, highlighting their dominance within their league. Belleville, while respectable with a 4-3 conference record, needs to improve to contend with the upper echelon of their league.
• Scoring and Defense: Lomira’s high-scoring offense (35.4 points per game) outpaces Belleville, whose 21 points per game puts them behind the curve. Additionally, Lomira’s stingy defense (133 points allowed) shows that they can shut down opponents effectively, while Belleville has given up 255 points, indicating a need for improvement in this area.

Conclusion: Lomira on Top, Belleville Growing

In summary, Lomira stands as the stronger of the two teams in the 2024-2025 season. Their impressive 10-2 record, high-scoring offense, and dominant defense set them apart as one of the top teams in Wisconsin. Belleville, while competitive with a 7-6 record, faces challenges in home and away performances, though their ability to perform in neutral-site games shows promise.

As the season progresses, Belleville will need to refine their scoring consistency and defensive strategies to catch up to Lomira’s dominance. A potential future matchup between the two could be one to watch, as Lomira looks to extend its strong performance, while Belleville works to build on their strengths.
