In short: Mojave Mustangs high school football (Mojave, CA), 2026 season: 2-7 in the Hi-Lo (8 Man) League. Last game: L 0-2 vs Mammoth on October 23, 2026. Schedule and results, player season stats, stat leaders, unit grades, ScorePirate ranking and the game-by-game log.
The biggest shift in Mojave's season has come in its offense. Mojave averaged 8.5 points per game over its first 4 games (0-4), #374 in CIF-SS in that timeframe. In the 5 games since that slow start (2-3), the Mustangs have averaged 34.4 points per game, a 305% rise, #86 in CIF-SS in that window. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Mojave's last 5 opponents have averaged 29.3 points per game, a #297 scoring defense in CIF-SS on the season, against 12.6 points per game, #35 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (29.3 points per game), Mojave scored 17% more 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 #308 in CIF-SS, well below the first 4 (#222), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, Mojave ranks #238 in CIF-SS in scoring.
The Mustangs allowed 35.6 points per game over their first 5 games (1-4), #352 in CIF-SS during that time. Few teams started slower in this department, and few have turned it around as sharply since. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (1-3), Mojave has allowed 19.0 points per game, a 47% drop, #136 in CIF-SS through those games. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Mojave's last 4 opponents have averaged 26.8 points per game, a #169 offense in CIF-SS on the season, against 37.0 points per game, #49 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (26.8 points per game), Mojave held those offenses 29% below what they usually score. Overall, though, those opponents have been lower-level teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank just #296 in CIF-SS. Only Trona broke through in that span, putting up 54 on 10/9. On the season, the Mustangs rank #279 in CIF-SS in scoring 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 0/9, defense 5/9, sacks/INT 0/9, sacks allowed 5/9, turnovers 5/9 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.
