With a crucial rematch on the horizon, let’s break down their season statistics, key players, and what to expect in their upcoming battle.

Season Performance & Records

Lone Peak has dominated in-region play with a 7-2 record, while Westlake follows closely behind at 6-3. Lone Peak has maintained a solid home record of 6-2 and an away record of 5-2. Meanwhile, Westlake has struggled slightly more on the road, standing at 5-4.

Lone Peak previously defeated Westlake 50-35 in their first matchup on January 24. Now, as they prepare for a rematch on February 14, both teams will be looking to make adjustments.

Scoring & Team Averages

Lone Peak averages 64.9 points per game, with strong third and fourth-quarter performances (15.2 and 16.5 points per quarter, respectively). Westlake, on the other hand, scores slightly more at 68.0 points per game but struggles in the second quarter with an average of 12.3 points. Their third quarter is their strongest, averaging 18.6 points.

Defensively, Lone Peak has allowed 1,247 points this season, while Westlake has given up slightly fewer at 1,243 points. This suggests a relatively even matchup in terms of defensive capabilities.

Key Players to Watch

Lone Peak:

• Crew Fotheringham (#15) – Leads the team with 13.0 points per game.
• Ty Easton Cogswell (#0) – A dominant presence, averaging 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game.
• Enoch Mitchell – Key playmaker with 2.2 assists per game.

Westlake: While individual stats for Westlake’s players are unavailable, their ability to spread scoring responsibilities across the team makes them a dangerous opponent.

Head-to-Head Comparison

Lone Peak’s previous victory over Westlake was a defensive showcase, holding Westlake to just 35 points. Their ability to shut down Westlake’s offensive strengths will be key in the upcoming rematch.

Westlake, however, has had success against common opponents, including victories over American Fork and Lehi. Their ability to bounce back from their previous loss will depend on their ability to control the pace and capitalize on Lone Peak’s defensive gaps.

Prediction & Final Thoughts

Both teams are evenly matched, but Lone Peak’s ability to execute defensively gives them a slight edge heading into the February 14 matchup. If Westlake can maintain its offensive efficiency in the third quarter and improve second-quarter production, they have a chance to even the series.
