STORYLINES

Next: vs Carver, Fri 30 Oct. Matchup report: Carver at Sumter County.

The number to watch when Sumter County meets Carver is Sumter County's scoring defense. Sumter County allowed 28.5 points per game over its first 4 games (1-3), #300 in section in that timeframe. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (1-2), the Panthers have allowed 11.3 points per game, a 60% drop, #68 in section in that window. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Sumter County's last 3 opponents have averaged 20.8 points per game, a #294 offense in section on the season, against 25.2 points per game, #227 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (20.8 points per game), Sumter County held those offenses 46% below what they usually score. Only Veterans broke through in that span, putting up 21 on 9/18. Conversely, Carver's offense has been one of section's better units in recent weeks. The Tigers have averaged 42.0 points per game over their last 3 games (2-1), #56 in section during that time. Those games came against some of the weaker scoring defenses in section (31.3 points per game on the season, which would rank #352). Against those norms, Carver scored 34% more than those defenses usually allow. Something has to give when Sumter County's surging defense meets one of section's better units in Carver's. Sumter County is 2-2 this season when it holds opponents under 23, and 0-3 when it doesn't.

NOTES

The biggest worry in Sumter County's season has been the direction of its offense. Sumter County averaged 19.8 points per game over its first 4 games (1-3), #291 in section through those games. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (1-2), the Panthers have averaged 13.7 points per game, a 31% drop, #363 in section through that stretch. The schedule doesn't excuse it: the last 3 opponents have been softer, averaging 25.2 points per game, a #239 scoring defense in section on the season, against 19.8 points per game, #146 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (25.2 points per game), Sumter County scored 46% less than those defenses usually allow. On the season, Sumter County ranks #345 in section in scoring. Carver's defense sits in the middle of the pack, #187 in section (22.4 points per game). Sumter County is 2-1 this season when it scores 23 or more, and 0-4 when it doesn't.

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.
