In short: KUNA Kavemen high school football (Kuna, ID), 2026 season: 5-4. Last game: W 27-13 vs meridian on October 23, 2026. Next: at Boise, October 30, 2026. Schedule and results, player season stats, stat leaders, unit grades, ScorePirate ranking and the game-by-game log.
The turnover battle could decide KUNA's next game, against Boise, and the recent returns favor KUNA. KUNA forced 0.2 takeaways per game over its first 5 games (2-3), #23 in section in that timeframe. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (3-1), the Kavemen have forced 1.0 takeaways per game, a 400% rise, #12 in section in that window. The schedule deserves some of the credit: KUNA's last 4 opponents have averaged 1.1 per game, a #14 offense in section on the season, against 1.0 per game, #13 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.1 per game), KUNA forced 13% fewer turnovers than those offenses usually give up. So the improvement is real, but it still trails what those opponents usually give up. Conversely, Boise's ball security has been one of section's better units in recent weeks. The Brave have committed 0.8 giveaways per game over their last 4 games (3-1), #8 in section during that time. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of defenses in section (1.3 per game on the season, which would rank #13). Against those norms, Boise turned it over 41% less than those defenses usually force. Overall, those opponents average an SP Strength Index rating that would rank #4 in section, a strong slate. Something has to give when KUNA's surging defense meets one of section's better units in Boise's.
The number to watch when KUNA meets Boise is KUNA's run defense. KUNA allowed 2.2 yards per carry (247 yards on 111 rushes) over its first 4 games (1-3), #1 in section through those games. In the 5 games since that hot start (4-1), the Kavemen have allowed 4.0 yards per carry (570 yards on 144 rushes), a 78% rise, #6 in section through that stretch. The schedule has a lot to do with it: KUNA's last 5 opponents have averaged 4.8 yards per carry, a #16 rushing attack in section on the season, against 3.6 yards per carry, #21 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (4.8 yards per carry), KUNA held those rushing attacks 18% below their usual yards per carry. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. Conversely, Boise's ground game has been one of section's better units in recent weeks. The Brave have averaged 6.8 yards per carry (822 yards on 120 rushes) over their last 5 games (4-1), #5 in section over that stretch. Those games came against some of the better run defenses in section (4.6 yards per carry on the season, which would rank #8). Against those norms, Boise ran for 49% more per carry than those run defenses usually allow. KUNA's run defense has held up better than the raw numbers suggest, which makes this a closer matchup than the recent results imply.
NOTES
The biggest shift in KUNA's season has come in its ball security. KUNA committed 1.8 giveaways per game over its first 5 games (2-3), #16 in section within that period. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (3-1), the Kavemen have committed 0.5 giveaways per game, a 72% drop, #4 in section across those games. The schedule deserves some of the credit: KUNA's last 4 opponents have averaged 1.0 per game, a #18 defense in section on the season, against 1.2 per game, #14 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.0 per game), KUNA turned it over 50% less than those defenses usually force. On the season, KUNA ranks #14 in section in giveaways. The trend lines up well against Boise, whose defense ranks just #19 of 24 (0.8 per game).
The Kavemen averaged 16.8 points per game over their first 6 games (2-4), #19 in section 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 (3-0), KUNA has averaged 29.3 points per game, a 74% rise, #10 in section during that period. The schedule deserves some of the credit: KUNA's last 3 opponents have averaged 31.5 points per game, a #18 scoring defense in section on the season, against 26.4 points per game, #17 for the first 6. Measured against those opponents' norms (31.5 points per game), KUNA scored 7% less than those defenses usually allow. So the improvement is real, but it still trails what those opponents usually give up. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 3 opponents average a rating that would rank #21 in section, well below the first 6 (#8), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, the Kavemen rank #17 in section in scoring. Boise's defense sits in the middle of the pack, #14 in section (22.3 points per game). KUNA is 4-0 this season when it scores 23 or more, and 1-4 when it doesn't.
Few teams in section have allowed fewer points over the last 3 games than KUNA. KUNA allowed 20.2 points per game over its first 6 games (2-4), #10 in section during that stretch. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (3-0), the Kavemen have allowed 8.7 points per game, a 57% drop, #3 in section over that period. The schedule deserves some of the credit: KUNA's last 3 opponents have averaged 19.6 points per game, a #18 offense in section on the season, against 27.3 points per game, #13 for the first 6. Measured against those opponents' norms (19.6 points per game), KUNA held those offenses 56% below what they usually score. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 3 opponents average a rating that would rank #21 in section, well below the first 6 (#8), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, KUNA ranks #8 in section in scoring defense. That form gets a real test against Boise, whose offense ranks #5 in section (33.0 points per game).
As the schedule has stiffened, KUNA has given up chunk yardage. The Kavemen allowed 3.9 yards per play (795 yards on 202 snaps) over their first 4 games (1-3), #1 in section over that timeframe. In the 5 games since that hot start (4-1), KUNA has allowed 5.4 yards per play (1,390 yards on 256 snaps), a 38% rise, #7 in section over that span. The schedule has a lot to do with it: KUNA's last 5 opponents have averaged 6.2 yards per play, a #14 offense in section on the season, against 5.2 yards per play, #20 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (6.2 yards per play), KUNA held those offenses 12% below their usual yards per snap. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. On the season, the Kavemen rank #2 in section in yards per play allowed. It won't get any easier against Boise, whose offense ranks #4 in section (8.0 yards per play).
KUNA's passing game has come a long way since the season's early weeks. KUNA averaged 6.1 yards per pass attempt (531 yards on 87 attempts) over its first 4 games (1-3), #18 in section in that timeframe. In the 5 games since that slow start (4-1), the Kavemen have averaged 8.1 yards per pass attempt (887 yards on 110 attempts), a 32% rise, #10 in section in that window. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 7.9 yards per attempt on the season. On the season, KUNA ranks #15 in section in passing. Boise's pass defense sits in the middle of the pack, #16 in section (7.8 yards per attempt).

APPENDIX
Full-length explanations and full-size data exports for the shortened notes and relocated tables referenced throughout this report, numbered in the order their pointers appear above.
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.
