| ELK RAPIDS | -- | 56.5 (+3) | 91.2 (-78) | 47.7 (+2) |
The biggest shift in Elk Rapids' season has come in its defense. Elk Rapids allowed 16.4 points per game over its first 5 games (3-2), #36 in section in that timeframe. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (3-1), the Elks have allowed 5.8 points per game, a 65% drop, #7 in section in that window. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Elk Rapids' last 4 opponents have averaged 16.2 points per game, a #103 offense in section on the season, against 23.0 points per game, #79 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (16.2 points per game), Elk Rapids held those offenses 65% below what they usually score. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 4 opponents average a rating that would rank #92 in section, well below the first 5 (#19), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, Elk Rapids ranks #14 in section in scoring defense.
Elk Rapids' offense from the opening weeks has gone missing since. The Elks averaged 25.3 points per game over their first 3 games (2-1), #57 in section during that time. In the 6 games since that hot start (4-2), Elk Rapids has averaged 15.0 points per game, a 41% drop, #102 in section through those games. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Elk Rapids' last 6 opponents have averaged 22.1 points per game, a #53 scoring defense in section on the season, against 35.0 points per game, #101 for the first 3. Measured against those opponents' norms (22.1 points per game), Elk Rapids scored 32% less than those defenses usually allow. Elk Rapids was held to 14 points or fewer 3 times in those games, including 0 against charlevoix-charlevoix-mi on 10/16. On the season, the Elks rank #97 in section in scoring.
• Club The last time Elk Rapids went a game allowing 8.0+ yards per attempt was September 9, 2022 against Tawas Area (W, 30-14). Since then Elk Rapids has gone 43 straight games holding the opponent under 8.0 yards per attempt, a school-record 43 straight in the 5 seasons on record.
