A Look at the Current Basketball Seasons for Hobart and Snyder

As we approach the heart of the 2024-2025 basketball season, the teams from Hobart and Snyder are in the midst of an intense competition. With both teams facing off against common opponents and navigating tough district matchups, their performance so far provides insights into their strengths and areas for improvement. Let’s take a deeper look at the current standings, team stats, and upcoming games for both schools.

Hobart (24-25)

Hobart has played a total of six games so far, compiling a 2-4 record. While their overall win percentage sits at .333, they have shown strong potential within their district, where they remain undefeated with a perfect 1-0 record. At home, Hobart holds a 2-1 record, but their struggles on the road are evident, with an 0-3 record in away games.

• Points Scored: Hobart’s offense averages 50.2 points per game, with a particularly strong performance in the fourth quarter, where they put up 27 points on average. Their first and second quarters contribute significantly as well, scoring 12 and 11 points, respectively.
• Points Allowed: Defensively, Hobart has allowed 331 points across their six games, averaging 55.2 points per game.

Snyder (24-25)

Snyder, with a 2-5 overall record, has faced challenges on the court. Despite a competitive district record of 1-1, their overall performance shows room for growth. The team has struggled in non-district games, tallying a 1-4 record in these matchups.

• Points Scored: Snyder’s offensive output averages 34.4 points per game. While their scoring is more modest compared to Hobart, they will need to find ways to improve their offensive flow to compete in future games.
• Points Allowed: Snyder has allowed 320 points on the season, averaging 45.7 points allowed per game.

Team Scoring Averages

Here’s a closer look at how the two teams break down their scoring across the game:

• Hobart:
  • Q1: 12.0
  • Q2: 11.0
  • Q3: 9.0
  • Q4: 27.0 (A strong finish)
  • Final: 50.2
• Snyder:
  • Final: 34.4 (No specific breakdown for quarters provided)

Hobart has demonstrated an ability to finish games strong, particularly in the fourth quarter, where they put up a substantial 27 points per game. Snyder, on the other hand, has yet to show a similar quarter-by-quarter scoring consistency.

Common Opponents: A Head-to-Head Comparison

Both teams have faced several common opponents this season, offering a comparison of how they stack up against teams outside their district. Here are the key matchups:

• Apache:
  • Hobart: Defeated Apache 54-51 on December 10, 2024
  • Snyder: Lost to Apache 57-32 on December 12, 2024
• Burns Flat-Dill City:
  • Hobart: Still to play
  • Snyder: Lost 46-36 on December 3, 2024

• Navajo:

  • Snyder: Won 35-23 on December 10, 2024

These matchups suggest that while Hobart has found success in recent games, especially with a tight win over Apache, Snyder has struggled against some of the same teams. The upcoming matchups will be crucial for both teams to adjust and improve.

Upcoming Schedule

Both teams have an action-packed schedule ahead:

• Hobart will face Hollis on December 17, 2024, and will continue their season with key matchups against teams like Mangum and Sayre.
• Snyder, following their tough defeat against Apache, will look to rebound against teams like Mangum and Merritt in January and February.

Both teams have an opportunity to adjust and improve over the remainder of the season, but their paths to success will require focus on better defense for Snyder and a more consistent offensive effort for Hobart.

Conclusion

As both Hobart and Snyder continue their 2024-2025 basketball campaigns, they have shown flashes of potential but also areas for improvement. Hobart’s offense, particularly in the fourth quarter, stands out, while Snyder’s defensive issues may be a key area of focus. Their head-to-head matchups against common opponents highlight the gap in performance, but with several games remaining, both teams have a chance to make a push in their respective districts. Fans can expect exciting games as both teams aim to finish the season strong.
