The number to watch when Bradshaw Mountain meets Northwest Christian is Bradshaw Mountain's scoring defense. Bradshaw Mountain allowed 6.2 points per game over its first 6 games (5-1), #8 in section in that timeframe. Over the stretch of 5 games that followed (3-2), the Bears have allowed 21.4 points per game, a 247% rise, #88 in section in that window. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Bradshaw Mountain's last 5 opponents have averaged 36.7 points per game, a #44 offense in section on the season, against 21.2 points per game, #164 for the first 6. Measured against those opponents' norms (36.7 points per game), Bradshaw Mountain held those offenses 42% below what they usually score. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #86 in section, well above the first 6 (#138), so the dip has come against better teams overall. Meanwhile, Northwest Christian's offense has been middle of the pack in recent weeks. The Crusaders have averaged 27.8 points per game over their last 5 games (4-1), #106 in section during that time. Those games came against some of the better scoring defenses in section (20.6 points per game on the season, which would rank #84).

Explanatory Notes
Note 1 -- SEASON OUTLOOK
Every remaining game is projected from schedule-adjusted ratings; already-played games carry their real result. Records are simulated distributions, not a single guess -- MOST LIKELY FINAL is the single most probable record and its own probability, PROJECTED RECORD is the season's expected win total expressed in record form (an average across every simulated outcome, so it can land on a fraction of a game).
Note 2 -- OPPONENT TRACKER -- why some cards have no record shown
Only meaningful for an opponent who is ALSO a tracked team in the library -- an opponent with no games on file here at all shows the date and site alone.
Note 3 -- MOST IMPORTANT NUMBERS -- how a number is scored
Every split this report computes is scored on how strong the number is and how much it sets this team apart from its opponent and the rest of the field, and the top 5 per team are listed. A condition needs at least 8 occurrences to count.
