Comparing the 2024-2025 Basketball Seasons: Glendale vs. McKenzie

As the 2024-2025 basketball season unfolds, two teams in the same league, Glendale and McKenzie, offer contrasting performances and experiences on the court. Let’s break down their season statistics and head-to-head records, providing an in-depth look at how they stack up against each other and common opponents.

Overall Record Comparison

• Glendale (2-3): Glendale enters the season with a mixed record of 2 wins and 3 losses. Their performance has been slightly better at home, with a 1-2 record, while they managed to pick up one win on the road (1-0). However, their neutral court performance is still a work in progress, with one loss and no victories.
• McKenzie (0-5): McKenzie, on the other hand, has struggled throughout the season, with an unfortunate 0-5 record. They have yet to secure a win, whether at home (0-1), on the road (0-3), or in neutral settings (0-1).

Scoring Averages

• Glendale: The team has averaged 43.6 points per game across their matches, suggesting they have a fairly consistent offense, even if not always enough to overcome their opponents.
• McKenzie: McKenzie has struggled to score, with an average of 39.4 points per game, which has contributed to their winless start to the season.

Head-to-Head vs. Common Opponents

Both teams have faced off against the same set of common opponents, and the contrast in their results is evident.

• Glendale vs. Common Opponents (2-2): Glendale has managed to secure wins against Chiloquin (48-39) and Crow (39-38), showing that they are capable of competing closely with teams. However, they also suffered losses to Triangle Lake (62-53) and Chiloquin (49-35), demonstrating that consistency may still be an issue.
• McKenzie vs. Common Opponents (0-2): McKenzie, in contrast, has struggled against the same teams, going 0-2. They lost to Triangle Lake in both their matchups, as well as to Lowell (59-57), indicating that they need to improve significantly to find their footing in future games.

Upcoming Matchups

Looking ahead, both teams still have several critical games. For Glendale, their upcoming schedule includes a home game against Oakridge (12/21/24) and an away game against Yoncalla (2/7/25). These will be crucial matchups for Glendale as they aim to build on their victories and bounce back from their losses.

McKenzie, still looking for their first win of the season, faces difficult opponents like Mohawk (1/4/25), Siletz Valley (2/6/25), and others, which could either give them the breakthrough they need or continue their winless streak.

In Conclusion

While Glendale has shown flashes of competitiveness, including wins over Chiloquin and Crow, McKenzie remains in search of their first victory. Glendale’s ability to score, particularly against tougher opponents, has given them a slight edge in the early part of the season. McKenzie, however, will need to make adjustments to their approach in order to compete more effectively as the season progresses. Both teams have games ahead that will test their mettle and offer opportunities for growth as they look to finish strong in their respective leagues.
