Game preview: Remington vs Trinity

As the 2024-2025 high school basketball season unfolds, two teams from Kansas—Trinity and Remington—are showing starkly different results. With one team struggling to find its rhythm and the other undefeated, the dynamics of this matchup tell an interesting story of contrasts.

Trinity’s Struggles

Trinity’s season so far has been a challenging one. With a record of 1-6 overall and 1-1 in district play, the team has struggled to consistently perform. Their win percentage stands at a mere .143, indicating the difficulty they’ve faced in securing victories. The team has scored 363 points while allowing 474, highlighting some struggles in both offense and defense.

Breaking down their performance by quarters, Trinity has averaged 6 points in the first quarter, with a stronger showing in the second quarter (20 points). However, their consistency drops in the third and fourth quarters, scoring only 13 and 12 points, respectively. This uneven performance across quarters has been a hallmark of their tough season.

Trinity has also faced some challenging opponents, with a 1-2 record against common foes shared with Remington. Their most recent losses came to Classical and Ell-Saline, both of which were away games.

Remington’s Dominance

On the other hand, Remington has enjoyed an undefeated run in the 2024-2025 season, with a remarkable 8-0-1 overall record. Their district performance has been flawless at 1-0, and they’ve proven themselves a formidable opponent at home with a 5-0 record. Additionally, Remington is 2-0-1 in away games, showing their ability to compete on the road. Their total points scored (396) and points allowed (256) further underscore their dominance, with a positive point differential of 140.

Their scoring averages per quarter tell a different story. Remington starts strong, averaging 8.5 points in the first quarter, but drops to just 4 points in the second. They rebound in the third quarter, scoring 11.5 points. However, they are less effective in the fourth quarter, where they score no points in some games, though they still manage to win. Despite this drop-off, their overall performance has been enough to keep them undefeated.

Common Opponents: A Tale of Two Outcomes

Both teams have faced several common opponents this season, but the outcomes have been drastically different.

• Classical: Trinity lost to Classical 62-51 on December 17, while Remington triumphed 48-33 over them on December 12.
• Marion: Trinity secured a hard-fought 68-64 victory over Marion on January 13, while Remington will face them on February 4.
• Ell-Saline: Trinity lost to Ell-Saline 64-51 on January 14, but Remington will look to continue their dominance when they host Ell-Saline on January 10.
• Bennington: Trinity will play Bennington on February 18, but Remington defeated Bennington 47-37 on December 20.
• Moundridge, Inman, and other common teams: While both teams have yet to face Moundridge and Inman, their earlier results provide a glimpse into how each might fare.

Remington has been perfect in their matchups against common opponents, sporting a 3-0 record. Conversely, Trinity has posted a 1-2 record, showing a clear gap between the two teams’ current form.

Head-to-Head: A Tale of Uncertainty

The two teams have yet to face off in the 2024-2025 season, and the anticipated matchup will be highly awaited. Remington, with their impressive undefeated streak, will certainly enter as the favorite. However, Trinity will be looking to turn things around and challenge the undefeated team, aiming to break their slump and gain a crucial victory.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Both Teams?

As the season progresses, Trinity will need to refine their play, especially in the first and fourth quarters, where they’ve shown inconsistency. Their district record gives them a glimmer of hope, as they could still challenge for a spot in the postseason with improved performance.

Remington, on the other hand, is cruising through the season. Their ability to win both at home and on the road, combined with their strong overall play, makes them a team to watch as they approach the final stretch of the season. Their defense, in particular, has been suffocating, allowing only 256 points in 9 games.

Both teams have important games ahead, and with the way their seasons are unfolding, the ultimate test will be their head-to-head battle. Will Trinity shock the undefeated Remington, or will Remington continue their flawless run?

Only time will tell, but one thing is clear—this season will have plenty of storylines to follow.
