However, their performance drops significantly after halftime, with just 3.7 points in the third and 1.3 in the fourth. This dip in second-half production could be a factor in their losses, particularly when facing tougher competition on the road.

Conclusion

As the season wraps up, both teams have proven their mettle. Covenant Classical has shown potential with a balanced offense and defensive effort, but their inability to close out games may hinder their postseason run. Meanwhile, Alpha Omega Academy stands as a well-rounded and dominant force, with strong performances across the board and a perfect district record.

With their sights set on the playoffs, both teams will need to refine their strategies and continue executing consistently. If Covenant Classical can improve their second-half performance and Alpha Omega maintains their level of excellence, they could each make a deep run into the postseason.
