Game Preview: Windsor vs Stevens

As Vermont’s high school basketball season continues, the Windsor (VT) and Stevens (Claremont, NH) teams find themselves heading into an intriguing matchup. Both teams are currently navigating through their respective seasons with varied results, and their upcoming game on January 17th at Stevens promises to be a pivotal moment for both squads.

Team Performance Overview

Windsor High School (VT) has had a challenging start to the 2024-25 season. With an overall record of 1-7 and a district record of 1-1, Windsor has struggled to find consistent success on the court. Their overall win percentage stands at just .125, with a district win percentage of .500. The team has faced difficulties at home (0-4) and on the road (1-2), but the most concerning aspect of their performance has been their inability to pick up victories in neutral-site games, with a 0-1 record in such games.

In terms of scoring, Windsor averages 43.3 points per game across four quarters, with the following breakdown:

• Q1: 18.0 points
• Q2: 12.0 points
• Q3: 12.0 points
• Q4: 13.0 points

These figures highlight a team that starts strong but struggles to maintain consistent scoring in the latter parts of the game.

Stevens High School (NH) has fared somewhat better, posting a 2-5 overall record with a league record of 1-5. While their win percentage is higher than Windsor’s at .286, they also face challenges, particularly in league play. Stevens is 1-3 in away games, but they have managed to secure a perfect 1-0 record in neutral-site games.

Stevens’ scoring average is slightly higher than Windsor’s, at 43.9 points per game. The exact breakdown of their scoring by quarter is not provided, but their ability to outscore Windsor, especially in their December 28th game (which Stevens won 55-34), suggests they may have a more balanced attack across the full game.

Head-to-Head Results

In their most recent meeting on December 28, 2024, Stevens emerged victorious with a dominant 55-34 win over Windsor. This result reflects Stevens’ overall stronger performance this season, as they outpaced Windsor in all four quarters. Windsor will certainly be looking to bounce back and avenge this defeat when the teams meet again on January 17th.

Common Opponents and Future Matchups

Both teams have faced common opponents during the season, which could provide some insight into their relative strengths. Windsor defeated Bellows Falls 48-34 on December 20, 2024, but fell short against them on December 27, 2024, losing 58-51. Stevens, meanwhile, has yet to face Bellows Falls this season but will likely face them in upcoming games.

Looking ahead, Windsor will play Bellows Falls again on February 18, 2025, which could prove crucial for their record as they continue to battle through their schedule. Stevens, however, will need to maintain focus on their remaining games to stay competitive in both their league and overall standings.

Record Breakdown

Windsor’s record reflects a combination of district challenges and tough non-league games, with a 1-6 record in in-state play and 0-1 out-of-state. They will need to improve their road performance, which has been subpar at 1-2, and their performance in neutral-site games remains an area of concern.

Stevens’ record shows a more balanced performance, with better results in neutral-site games (1-0) and slightly stronger league play (1-5). Their in-state record is 1-5, but they are undefeated in out-of-state matchups (1-0), which could serve them well as they progress through their schedule.

The January 17th Matchup

As both teams head into their next encounter, Windsor will need to rebound from their heavy loss in December and improve their overall performance across all quarters. They will look to capitalize on Stevens’ weaknesses, particularly their struggles in away games. On the other hand, Stevens will aim to continue their strong season and replicate their dominant performance from last month, using their higher scoring averages to secure another win.

This upcoming game is crucial for both teams, with Windsor hoping to turn their season around and Stevens looking to build on their momentum. The game will tip-off on January 17th at 7 p.m. in Stevens, and the outcome could significantly impact both teams’ future playoff hopes.
