THE OPPONENT 
POINT PARK (2–7, 1–4) 

2025-26 Season
Point Park brings a battle-tested group to Glenville, having faced a challenging early-season schedule. The Pioneers average 73.8 points per game and rely heavily on perimeter shooting to generate offense. 

They feature multiple double-figure scorers and have shown the ability to stretch the floor and score in bunches when shots are falling. Despite the record, Point Park has competed closely in several games and will look to make a statement as the calendar turns to 2026.

  • Grant Welch – 13.2 PPG with 29 made threes this season. 
  • Greg Williams – 11.6 PPG, physical wing presence. 
  • Kaden Warner – 10.7 PPG, active rebounder and versatile scorer. 

THE PIONEERS
