In short: Canoga Park Hunters high school football (Canoga Park, CA), 2026 season: 1-9 in the Valley Mission League. Last game: L 8-29 vs San Fernando on October 29, 2026. Schedule and results, player season stats, stat leaders, unit grades, ScorePirate ranking and the game-by-game log.
The biggest worry in Canoga Park's season has been the direction of its ball security. Canoga Park committed 1.8 giveaways per game over its first 5 games (0-5), #54 in Section in that timeframe. In the 5 games since that hot start (1-4), the Hunters have committed 3.7 giveaways per game, a 104% rise, #76 in Section in that window. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 1.4 per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.4 per game), Canoga Park turned it over 162% more than those defenses usually force. On the season, Canoga Park ranks #69 in Section in giveaways.
Canoga Park's run defense from the opening weeks has gone missing since. The Hunters allowed 6.1 yards per carry (522 yards on 86 rushes) over their first 3 games (0-3), #24 in Section during that time. In the 7 games since that hot start (1-6), Canoga Park has allowed 9.7 yards per carry (773 yards on 80 rushes), a 59% rise, #62 in Section through those games. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 7.8 yards per carry on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (8.0 yards per carry), Canoga Park allowed 20% more per carry than those rushing attacks usually gain. On the season, the Hunters rank #40 in Section in run defense.
Something changed for Canoga Park's defense after the first 7 games of the season. Canoga Park allowed 25.6 points per game over its first 7 games (1-6), #43 in Section through that stretch. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (0-3), the Hunters have allowed 33.3 points per game, a 30% rise, #58 in Section over that stretch. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 26.3 points per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (27.1 points per game), Canoga Park allowed 23% more than those offenses usually score. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 3 opponents average a rating that would rank #22 in Section, well above the first 7 (#45), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, Canoga Park ranks #49 in Section in scoring defense.

PPG/OPP PPG use every played game on file. YPG/PLAYS-PER-GAME columns only ever come from games with a full box score on file, which can be a smaller sample than GP -- see the coverage note below when that's the case for this team.
Averages use only games with that number on file (offense 1/10, defense 8/10, sacks/INT 1/10, sacks allowed 8/10, turnovers 8/10 games). SACKS ALW comes from the opponent's box score; TO FORCED is takeaways; TO MAR is takeaways minus giveaways, and its bottom cell is the season total. Dashes mean not on file.
