In short: Del Sol Jaguars high school football (Oxnard, CA), 2026 season: 3-6 in the Citrus Coast League. Last game: W 21-10 vs Carpinteria on October 23, 2026. Next: vs Santa Clara, 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 Del Sol meets Santa Clara is Del Sol's scoring. Del Sol averaged 20.0 points per game over its first 5 games (1-4), #274 in CIF-SS in that timeframe. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (2-2), the Jaguars have averaged 34.0 points per game, a 70% rise, #100 in CIF-SS in that window. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 25.8 points per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (26.4 points per game), Del Sol scored 29% more than those defenses usually allow. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 4 opponents average a rating that would rank #301 in CIF-SS, well below the first 5 (#202), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. Meanwhile, Santa Clara's defense has struggled in recent weeks. The Saints have allowed 35.0 points per game over their last 4 games (0-4), #321 in CIF-SS during that time. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of offenses in CIF-SS (25.3 points per game on the season, which would rank #197). Against those norms, Santa Clara allowed 38% more than those offenses usually score. Overall, those opponents average an SP Strength Index rating that would rank #301 in CIF-SS, a lower level of competition. On paper, that is a matchup that favors Del Sol. Del Sol is 3-4 this season when it scores 21 or more, and 0-2 when it doesn't.
The battle on the ground could decide Del Sol's next game, against Santa Clara, and the recent returns favor Del Sol. Del Sol averaged 4.4 yards per carry (792 yards on 178 rushes) over its first 4 games (1-3), #287 in CIF-SS through those games. In the 5 games since that slow start (2-3), the Jaguars have averaged 7.4 yards per carry (1,393 yards on 187 rushes), a 67% rise, #74 in CIF-SS through that stretch. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Del Sol's last 5 opponents have averaged 6.7 yards per carry, a #293 run defense in CIF-SS on the season, against 6.2 yards per carry, #254 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (6.7 yards per carry), Del Sol ran for 10% more per carry than those run defenses usually allow. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #289 in CIF-SS, well below the first 4 (#199), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. Meanwhile, Santa Clara's run defense has been middle of the pack in recent weeks. The Saints have allowed 6.5 yards per carry (518 yards on 80 rushes) over their last 5 games (0-5), #252 in CIF-SS over that stretch. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of rushing attacks in CIF-SS (5.1 yards per carry on the season, which would rank #245). Against those norms, Santa Clara allowed 26% more per carry than those rushing attacks usually gain. Overall, those opponents average an SP Strength Index rating that would rank #328 in CIF-SS, a lower level of competition. Santa Clara offers Del Sol a fair measuring stick for whether the trend is real.
NOTES
The biggest shift in Del Sol's season has come in its offense. Del Sol averaged 5.0 yards per play (1,524 yards on 303 snaps) over its first 5 games (1-4), #320 in CIF-SS within that period. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (2-2), the Jaguars have averaged 7.5 yards per play (1,558 yards on 208 snaps), a 49% rise, #123 in CIF-SS across those games. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Del Sol's last 4 opponents have averaged 7.5 yards per play, a #286 defense in CIF-SS on the season, against 6.8 yards per play, #227 for the first 5. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 4 opponents average a rating that would rank #301 in CIF-SS, well below the first 5 (#202), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, Del Sol ranks #247 in CIF-SS in yards per play. Santa Clara's defense sits in the middle of the pack, #129 in CIF-SS (6.0 yards per play).
The Jaguars allowed 37.8 points per game over their first 6 games (1-5), #365 in CIF-SS during those games. Few teams started slower in this department, and few have turned it around as sharply since. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (2-1), Del Sol has allowed 22.0 points per game, a 42% drop, #169 in CIF-SS during that period. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Del Sol's last 3 opponents have averaged 21.1 points per game, a #267 offense in CIF-SS on the season, against 29.1 points per game, #139 for the first 6. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 3 opponents average a rating that would rank #326 in CIF-SS, well below the first 6 (#203), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. Only Grace broke through in that span, putting up 56 on 10/9. On the season, the Jaguars rank #335 in CIF-SS in scoring defense. Santa Clara's offense sits in the middle of the pack, #242 in CIF-SS (22.6 points per game). Del Sol is 3-0 this season when it holds opponents under 23, and 0-6 when it doesn't.
Del Sol's run defense from the opening weeks has gone missing since. Del Sol allowed 6.4 yards per carry (646 yards on 101 rushes) over its first 4 games (1-3), #276 in CIF-SS during that stretch. In the 5 games since that hot start (2-3), the Jaguars have allowed 8.2 yards per carry (732 yards on 89 rushes), a 29% rise, #344 in CIF-SS over that period. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 5.9 yards per carry on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (6.0 yards per carry), Del Sol allowed 37% more per carry than those rushing attacks usually gain. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #289 in CIF-SS, well below the first 4 (#199), which makes the dip harder to excuse. On the season, Del Sol ranks #325 in CIF-SS in run defense. It won't get any easier against Santa Clara, whose ground game ranks #49 in CIF-SS (7.8 yards per carry).

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.
