In short: Joaquin Rams high school football (Joaquin, TX), 2026 season: 4-3. Last game: L 28-30 vs Garrison on October 23, 2026. Next: vs San Augustine, 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 Joaquin meets San Augustine is Joaquin's scoring. Joaquin averaged 51.3 points per game over its first 3 games (2-1), #44 in section in that timeframe. In the 4 games since that hot start (2-2), the Rams have averaged 40.5 points per game, a 21% drop, #294 in section in that window. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 26.4 points per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (27.1 points per game), Joaquin scored 49% more than those defenses usually allow. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. Conversely, San Augustine's defense has been one of section's better units in recent weeks. The Wolves have allowed 15.0 points per game over their last 4 games (4-0), #182 in section during that time. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of offenses in section (24.1 points per game on the season, which would rank #816). Against those norms, San Augustine held those offenses 38% below what they usually score. Overall, those opponents average an SP Strength Index rating that would rank #755 in section, a lower level of competition. Joaquin's offense has held up better than the raw numbers suggest, which makes this a closer matchup than the recent results imply.
NOTES
Joaquin's ground game looks better on paper, but one afternoon is doing a lot of the work. Joaquin averaged 8.8 yards per carry (2,586 yards on 293 rushes) on the season, #67 in section, but that number is boosted by a 531-yard game on 23 rushes against Tenaha on 9/4. In all other games, Joaquin is at 7.6 yards per carry (2,055 yards on 270 rushes), a figure that would rank #192 in section. Context matters here: Tenaha's run defense ranks among the weakest in section (8.1 yards per carry, #1061 of 1232), so that game says more about the opponent than about the unit itself. Against San Augustine, Joaquin draws a middle-of-the-pack run defense (5.9 yards per carry, #585), so expect something closer to the 7.6 version.

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 (defense 5/7, sacks/INT 4/7, sacks allowed 4/7 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.

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.
