Basketball Showdown: Freedom Prep Academy vs. Telos – A Statistical Breakdown

As the basketball season continues to unfold, one of the highly anticipated matchups will take place on Friday, December 6, at 7 p.m., when Freedom Prep Academy (FPA) faces off against Telos. After an impressive 80-32 win in their last encounter, FPA looks to extend its dominance, but Telos will be eager to bounce back and turn their season around.

Team Overview:

• Freedom Prep Academy (FPA) (2-3 Overall)
  FPA has had a mixed start to their season, with two wins and three losses. They are strong in their region with a perfect 1-0 record, and they have scored an average of 48.4 points per game, while conceding 276 points overall. Their scoring distribution is solid, averaging 13.0 points in the first quarter and 12.2 points in each of the final two quarters, showing consistency through the game.
• Telos (0-3 Overall)
  Telos is still searching for their first win of the season. Their record stands at 0-3, and they have struggled on both home and away games. Averaging 37.3 points per game, they’ve faced tough competition, especially in the early stages of the season. The team’s scoring averages show a slight improvement in the third quarter (13.5 points) but a drop-off in the first and fourth quarters.

Recent Head-to-Head:

In their most recent game on November 25, FPA dominated Telos with a resounding 80-32 victory. FPA had a commanding lead from the start, with strong first and second-quarter performances (26-4 in Q1, 17-7 in Q2). Telos showed some resilience in the third quarter with 15 points, but FPA answered with 19 points, maintaining their lead and finishing strong in the fourth quarter.

As FPA heads into this Friday’s match-up, the momentum is clearly in their favor. With Telos still looking to find their form, they will need to significantly improve both offensively and defensively to compete with FPA’s depth and scoring ability.

Key Players to Watch:

• Wyatt Leigh (FPA)
  As the standout player for Freedom Prep, Wyatt Leigh has been instrumental in the team’s success. He leads the team with 22.8 points per game and is also contributing 3.2 rebounds per game, giving FPA an offensive spark every time he steps on the floor.
• Teddy Johnston (Telos)
  While Telos has struggled, Teddy Johnston has stood out as their key player, averaging 9.0 rebounds per game, leading the team in this category. His efforts in the paint will be crucial if Telos is to disrupt FPA’s strong rebounding and inside presence.

Team Stats Comparison:

While FPA has the edge in overall scoring and steals, Telos’ 16.5 rebounds per game is a significant advantage. This disparity in rebounding could give Telos an opportunity to limit FPA’s second-chance points and keep the game close.

Record Breakdown:

• Freedom Prep Academy:
  • 2-3 Overall
  • 1-0 Region Record
  • 1-2 Away Record
• Telos:
  • 0-3 Overall
  • 0-2 Home Record
  • 0-1 Away Record

Both teams have struggled outside their region, but FPA’s 1-0 regional record provides them with some confidence, particularly in this away game against Telos. Their experience in competitive games, especially against teams like Pinnacle and Utah Military Academy – Camp Williams, gives them an edge in preparation.

Common Opponents:

Both teams have faced Pinnacle earlier this season, with FPA coming out on the losing side in a 64-56 defeat on November 20, while Telos has yet to play Pinnacle at home. They also both have upcoming matchups against Utah Military Academy – Camp Williams, making these games pivotal in terms of regional positioning.

Looking Ahead:

While FPA heads into this game with more confidence and a stronger recent record, Telos has shown flashes of potential throughout the season. If they can improve their defense and get better scoring contributions across the board, this game could prove to be a more competitive matchup than their previous meeting.

Will FPA maintain their winning ways, or can Telos find their first win of the season and turn things around? Tune in on Friday, December 6 to find out!
