In short: Crosby Cougars high school football (Crosby, TX), 2026 season: 4-4. Last game: L 24-30 vs Summer Creek on October 23, 2026. Next: vs Atascocita, October 30, 2026. Schedule and results, player season stats, stat leaders, unit grades, ScorePirate ranking and the game-by-game log.
The number to watch when Crosby meets Atascocita is Crosby's scoring. Crosby averaged 20.4 points per game over its first 5 games (2-3), #922 in section in that timeframe. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (2-1), the Cougars have averaged 42.0 points per game, a 106% rise, #278 in section in that window. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Crosby's last 3 opponents have averaged 35.8 points per game, a #911 scoring defense in section on the season, against 20.5 points per game, #264 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (35.8 points per game), Crosby scored 17% 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 #491 in section, well below the first 5 (#148), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. Conversely, Atascocita's defense has been one of section's better units in recent weeks. The Eagles have allowed 16.3 points per game over their last 3 games (2-1), #255 in section during that time. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of offenses in section (29.9 points per game on the season, which would rank #596). Against those norms, Atascocita held those offenses 45% below what they usually score. Something has to give when Crosby's surging offense meets one of section's better units in Atascocita's. Crosby is 4-2 this season when it scores 19 or more, and 0-2 when it doesn't.
The turnover battle could decide Crosby's next game, against Atascocita, and the recent returns favor Atascocita. Crosby forced 2.8 takeaways per game over its first 4 games (2-2), #45 in section through those games. In the 4 games since that hot start (2-2), the Cougars have forced 1.0 takeaways per game, a 64% drop, #597 in section through that stretch. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 1.2 per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.2 per game), Crosby forced 20% fewer turnovers than those offenses usually give up. Overall, those opponents have been strong teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank #276 in section. Conversely, Atascocita's ball security has been one of section's better units in recent weeks. The Eagles have committed 1.0 giveaways per game over their last 4 games (2-2), #404 in section over that stretch. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of defenses in section (1.0 per game on the season, which would rank #724). Overall, those opponents average an SP Strength Index rating that would rank #252 in section, a strong slate. Unless Crosby's defense rediscovers its early form, the edge in this matchup belongs to Atascocita.

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.
