In short: Calabasas Coyotes high school football (Calabasas, CA), 2026 season: 8-1 in the Coastal 101 League. Last game: W 55-10 vs Buena on October 23, 2026. Next: vs Agoura, October 30, 2026. Schedule and results, player season stats, stat leaders, unit grades, ScorePirate ranking and the game-by-game log.
The turnover battle could decide Calabasas' next game, against Agoura, and the recent returns favor Calabasas. Calabasas forced 0.4 takeaways per game over its first 5 games (4-1), #356 in CIF-SS in that timeframe. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (4-0), the Coyotes have forced 1.2 takeaways per game, a 212% rise, #181 in CIF-SS in that window. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Calabasas' last 4 opponents have averaged 1.3 per game, a #219 offense in CIF-SS on the season, against 1.2 per game, #173 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.3 per game), Calabasas forced 6% fewer turnovers than those offenses usually give up. So the improvement is real, but it still trails what those opponents usually give up. Conversely, Agoura's ball security has been one of CIF-SS's better units in recent weeks. The Chargers have committed 1.0 giveaways per game over their last 4 games (4-0), #113 in CIF-SS during that time. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of defenses in CIF-SS (1.2 per game on the season, which would rank #241). Against those norms, Agoura turned it over 14% less than those defenses usually force. Something has to give when Calabasas' surging defense meets one of CIF-SS's better units in Agoura's.
The number to watch when Calabasas meets Agoura is Calabasas' scoring. Calabasas averaged 26.3 points per game over its first 6 games (5-1), #177 in CIF-SS through those games. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (3-0), the Coyotes have averaged 49.0 points per game, an 86% rise, #15 in CIF-SS through that stretch. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Calabasas' last 3 opponents have averaged 36.7 points per game, a #363 scoring defense in CIF-SS on the season, against 22.9 points per game, #194 for the first 6. Measured against those opponents' norms (36.7 points per game), Calabasas scored 34% more than those defenses usually allow. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 3 opponents average a rating that would rank #232 in CIF-SS, well below the first 6 (#151), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. Meanwhile, Agoura's defense has been middle of the pack in recent weeks. The Chargers have allowed 23.0 points per game over their last 3 games (3-0), #188 in CIF-SS over that stretch. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of offenses in CIF-SS (27.6 points per game on the season, which would rank #160). Against those norms, Agoura held those offenses 17% below what they usually score. Agoura offers Calabasas a fair measuring stick for whether the trend is real. Calabasas is 7-0 this season when it scores 20 or more, and 1-1 when it doesn't.
NOTES
The biggest worry in Calabasas' season has been the direction of its defense. Calabasas allowed 15.8 points per game over its first 4 games (4-0), #101 in CIF-SS within that period. In the 5 games since that hot start (4-1), the Coyotes have allowed 25.0 points per game, a 59% rise, #222 in CIF-SS across those games. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Calabasas' last 5 opponents have averaged 27.1 points per game, a #164 offense in CIF-SS on the season, against 23.2 points per game, #231 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (27.1 points per game), Calabasas held those offenses 8% below what they usually score. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. On the season, Calabasas ranks #162 in CIF-SS in scoring defense. It won't get any easier against Agoura, whose offense ranks #68 in CIF-SS (35.1 points per game). Calabasas is 7-0 this season when it holds opponents under 36, and 1-1 when it doesn't.
Calabasas' pass defense from the opening weeks has gone missing since. The Coyotes allowed 6.2 yards per pass attempt (628 yards on 102 attempts) over their first 4 games (4-0), #107 in CIF-SS during those games. In the 5 games since that hot start (4-1), Calabasas has allowed 8.4 yards per pass attempt (987 yards on 117 attempts), a 37% rise, #230 in CIF-SS during that period. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Calabasas' last 5 opponents have averaged 8.0 yards per attempt, a #153 passing attack in CIF-SS on the season, against 7.0 yards per attempt, #231 for the first 4. On the season, the Coyotes rank #164 in CIF-SS in pass defense. It won't get any easier against Agoura, whose passing game ranks #33 in CIF-SS (10.9 yards per attempt).
Something changed for Calabasas' defense after its first 4 games. Calabasas allowed 5.4 yards per play (937 yards on 174 snaps) over its first 4 games (4-0), #108 in CIF-SS during that stretch. In the 5 games since that hot start (4-1), the Coyotes have allowed 6.7 yards per play (1,707 yards on 256 snaps), a 24% rise, #193 in CIF-SS over that period. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 6.4 yards per play on the season. On the season, Calabasas ranks #146 in CIF-SS in yards per play allowed. It won't get any easier against Agoura, whose offense ranks #32 in CIF-SS (9.2 yards per play).
One of Calabasas' most reliable areas lately has been its run defense. The Coyotes allowed 5.4 yards per carry (665 yards on 123 rushes) over their first 6 games (5-1), #177 in CIF-SS over that timeframe. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (3-0), Calabasas has allowed 4.1 yards per carry (364 yards on 88 rushes), a 23% drop, #81 in CIF-SS over that span. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Calabasas' last 3 opponents have averaged 4.5 yards per carry, a #299 rushing attack in CIF-SS on the season, against 5.7 yards per carry, #173 for the first 6. Measured against those opponents' norms (4.5 yards per carry), Calabasas held those rushing attacks 7% below their usual yards per carry. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 3 opponents average a rating that would rank #232 in CIF-SS, well below the first 6 (#151), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, the Coyotes rank #106 in CIF-SS in run defense. That form gets a real test against Agoura, whose ground game ranks #51 in CIF-SS (7.7 yards per carry).
Calabasas averaged 12.0 yards per pass attempt (1,090 yards on 91 attempts) over its first 4 games (4-0), #26 in CIF-SS in that timeframe. Few teams started faster in this department, and few have cooled off as sharply since. In the 5 games since that hot start (4-1), the Coyotes have averaged 9.9 yards per pass attempt (1,070 yards on 108 attempts), a 17% drop, #67 in CIF-SS in that window. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 8.6 yards per attempt on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (8.5 yards per attempt), Calabasas threw for 16% more per attempt than those pass defenses usually allow. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. On the season, Calabasas ranks #35 in CIF-SS in passing. Agoura's pass defense sits in the middle of the pack, #222 in CIF-SS (8.0 yards per attempt).

APPENDIX
Full-length explanations and full-size data exports for the shortened notes and relocated tables referenced throughout this report, numbered in the order their pointers appear above.
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.
