Rankings & Records

Gordon’s Record
Gordon is leading the pack in both state and national rankings. With an undefeated season of 10-0, they are the top team in their district, boasting a perfect 4-0 district record. At home, they are equally dominant with a 5-0 record, and they have replicated that success on the road with another 5-0 performance. Their high-powered offense has put up 561 points while allowing only 34. This impressive point differential speaks to their dominance both offensively and defensively.

May’s Record
May, while slightly behind Gordon in the national rankings at 12th, has also had a remarkable season. They hold a 9-1 overall record and a 2-1 district record, currently sitting at 8th in Texas. Their offensive output has been outstanding, scoring 636 points, though they’ve allowed 243. This shows a slightly higher-scoring offense but also indicates that May has given up more points than Gordon.

Team Scoring Averages

Gordon’s Scoring
Gordon has averaged 56.1 points per game, with no recorded scoring breakdowns for individual quarters. This suggests that their offensive prowess is spread evenly across the game, making them difficult to stop in any period.

May’s Scoring
May, on the other hand, has a remarkable first-quarter scoring average of 42.0 points, which dips significantly in the later stages of the game (6.0 in the second quarter, and 0 in both the third and fourth). This may suggest a strong start but a tendency to slow down in the second half, though they still finish strong with an overall average of 63.6 points per game.

Conclusion

Gordon and May have shown exceptional performances throughout the 2024-2025 season. Gordon leads with a perfect record, largely due to its solid defense and high-scoring offense, while May has demonstrated a powerful offensive attack, though their defense has been less stingy. Both teams will be formidable opponents as they continue their pursuit of the state title, with Gordon currently holding the edge in their district but May not far behind with a very strong season of their own.
