The undefeated Tipton team (12-0) will face the 9-2 Tyrone team, with the game set to kick off at 7 p.m. Both squads have impressed this season, and their paths to this playoff matchup have been nothing short of remarkable.
Tipton’s Perfect Season
Tipton has been a juggernaut in the 2024 season, posting a flawless 12-0 record. They have dominated in every aspect of the game, finishing their district schedule with a perfect 6-0 record and a win percentage of 1.000. Their scoring attack has been explosive, averaging 46.1 points per game, including an average of 28 points per game in the third quarter alone. Tipton’s defense has also been stout, allowing only 127 points all season.
The team has maintained an unblemished record both at home and away, with an 8-0 home record and 4-0 away performance. Their recent victories against common opponents, including Geary (40-12) and Balko/Forgan (58-8), demonstrate their ability to overpower competitors.
Tyrone’s Strong Campaign
Tyrone enters the game with a 9-2 record, including a 6-1 district performance. While they’ve lost two games this season, Tyrone’s offense has been powerful, averaging 40.4 points per game. They’ve had strong finishes, especially in the fourth quarter, where they’ve scored 24 points per game.
Tyrone has a solid home record of 5-1 and an impressive 3-1 mark on the road. The team has also proven its strength in the playoffs, with victories over common opponents such as Geary (56-6) and Balko/Forgan (60-38).
Head-to-Head Comparison
The two teams are perfectly matched in many ways, both posting identical 2-0 records against common opponents. Tipton’s wins came against Geary and Balko/Forgan, and so did Tyrone’s, with both teams securing impressive victories. However, Tipton’s higher average points per game and stronger overall defense could give them the edge.
Both teams have also demonstrated their dominance in playoff conditions. Tipton has a perfect 2-0 record in the postseason, while Tyrone holds a 2-0 playoff record as well.
