Team Records and Overview

Warner Robins (7-3)
Warner Robins enters the game with a solid 7-3 record, finishing 3-2 in region play. The Demons were strong at home, posting a 4-1 record, but struggled a bit on the road, with a 3-2 mark. Their offense has been potent throughout the season, scoring an average of 33.8 points per game. Defensively, they’ve allowed 226 points, which could be a potential concern when facing a high-powered Marist offense.

Marist (10-0)
Marist has been a dominant force this season, finishing with a perfect 10-0 record and going 8-0 in region play. The War Eagles have been nearly untouchable, especially at home where they are 6-0. They have been explosive on offense, averaging an impressive 45.9 points per game, and their defense has been stifling, allowing just 55 points all season—a remarkable statistic. Marist’s strong, balanced team will look to continue their undefeated run and make a deep playoff push.

Team Scoring Averages

• Warner Robins: The Demons have shown strong offensive output, averaging 33.8 points per game. Their scoring is relatively balanced throughout the game, with their highest output coming in the fourth quarter (10.3 points). The Demons will need to maintain this late-game production to keep up with Marist’s high-scoring offense.
• Marist: The War Eagles have been a scoring machine this season, putting up 45.9 points per game. Their scoring is front-loaded, with the team averaging 16.7 points in the first quarter alone, giving them an early advantage. However, their offense remains potent throughout the game, and despite a slight dip in production in the fourth quarter (5.7 points), they can rely on their defense to close out games.

Key Factors in the Matchup

• Offensive Firepower: Marist has a superior offensive scoring average (45.9) compared to Warner Robins (33.8). The War Eagles’ ability to score quickly in the first half will be crucial, as Warner Robins will need to keep pace throughout the game.
• Defensive Dominance: Marist’s defense has been stifling this season, allowing just 55 points in 10 games, an average of 5.5 points per game. Warner Robins will have to find ways to penetrate this defense, which has been almost impenetrable, especially on Marist’s home turf.
• Late-Game Execution: Warner Robins has been more productive in the fourth quarter (10.3 points per game), which could be key if they find themselves trailing late. They’ll need to capitalize on any Marist mistakes or lapses in the closing minutes.

Looking Ahead
