SEASON NOTES
The biggest worry in Hanford West's season has been the direction of its defense. Hanford West allowed 13.4 points per game over its first 5 games (2-3), #20 in Section in that timeframe. In the 5 games since that hot start (0-5), the Huskies have allowed 33.4 points per game, a 149% rise, #88 in Section in that window. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Hanford West's last 5 opponents have averaged 26.8 points per game, a #52 offense in Section on the season, against 21.7 points per game, #73 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (26.8 points per game), Hanford West allowed 25% more than those offenses usually score. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #71 in Section, well above the first 5 (#96), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, Hanford West ranks #49 in Section in scoring defense.
Few teams in Section have scored less over the last 5 games than Hanford West. The Huskies averaged 19.6 points per game over their first 5 games (2-3), #80 in Section during that time. In the 5 games since that hot start (0-5), Hanford West has averaged 3.8 points per game, an 81% drop, #112 in Section through those games. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Hanford West's last 5 opponents have averaged 25.1 points per game, a #58 scoring defense in Section on the season, against 28.2 points per game, #75 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (25.1 points per game), Hanford West scored 85% less than those 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 #71 in Section, well above the first 5 (#96), so the dip has come against better teams overall. Hanford West was held to 14 points or fewer 5 times in those games, including 0 against Selma on 10/2. On the season, the Huskies rank #103 in Section in scoring.
Hanford West's run defense from the opening weeks has gone missing since. Hanford West allowed 5.0 yards per carry (426 yards on 86 rushes) over its first 6 games (2-4), #33 in Section through that stretch. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (0-4), the Huskies have allowed 7.6 yards per carry (900 yards on 119 rushes), a 53% rise, #89 in Section over that stretch. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 6.2 yards per carry on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (6.1 yards per carry), Hanford West allowed 25% more per carry than those rushing attacks usually gain. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 4 opponents average a rating that would rank #75 in Section, well above the first 6 (#94), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, Hanford West ranks #71 in Section in run 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 7/10, defense 7/10, sacks/INT 9/10, sacks allowed 7/10 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.
