In short: Milken Wildcats high school football (Los Angeles, CA), 2026 season: 6-2 in the 8-Man Freelance (8 Man) League. Last game: W 38-6 vs Tehillah Christian Academy on October 29, 2026. Schedule and results, player season stats, stat leaders, unit grades, ScorePirate ranking and the game-by-game log.
The biggest worry in Milken's season has been the direction of its defense. Milken forced 3.5 takeaways per game over its first 4 games (3-1), #7 in CIF-SS in that timeframe. In the 4 games since that hot start (3-1), the Wildcats have forced 2.2 takeaways per game, a 36% drop, #52 in CIF-SS in that window. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Milken's last 4 opponents have averaged 1.5 per game, a #259 offense in CIF-SS on the season, against 1.8 per game, #313 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.5 per game), Milken forced 53% more turnovers than those offenses usually give up. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. On the season, Milken ranks #9 in CIF-SS in takeaways.
Milken's offense has come a long way since the season's early weeks. The Wildcats averaged 36.2 points per game over their first 5 games (4-1), #63 in CIF-SS during that time. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (2-1), Milken has averaged 43.3 points per game, a 20% rise, #36 in CIF-SS through those games. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Milken's last 3 opponents have averaged 39.4 points per game, a #379 scoring defense in CIF-SS on the season, against 34.3 points per game, #351 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (39.4 points per game), Milken scored 10% more than those defenses usually allow. Overall, though, those opponents have been lower-level teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank just #355 in CIF-SS. On the season, the Wildcats rank #37 in CIF-SS in scoring.
Something changed for Milken's ground game after its first 4 games. Milken averaged 7.4 yards per carry (1,031 yards on 139 rushes) over its first 4 games (3-1), #64 in CIF-SS through that stretch. In the 4 games since that slow start (3-1), the Wildcats have averaged 8.2 yards per carry (699 yards on 85 rushes), an 11% rise, #58 in CIF-SS over that stretch. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 7.6 yards per carry on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (7.3 yards per carry), Milken ran for 12% more per carry than those run defenses usually allow. Overall, though, those opponents have been lower-level teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank just #345 in CIF-SS. On the season, Milken ranks #52 in CIF-SS in rushing.

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 7/8, defense 7/8, sacks/INT 7/8, sacks allowed 7/8 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.
