In short: Moreno Valley Vikings high school football (Moreno Valley, CA), 2026 season: 6-5 in the Sunbelt League. Last game: W 24-6 vs Claremont on November 6, 2026. Schedule and results, player season stats, stat leaders, unit grades, ScorePirate ranking and the game-by-game log.
The biggest worry in Moreno Valley's season has been the direction of its defense. Moreno Valley allowed 7.0 points per game over its first 3 games (3-0), #19 in CIF-SS in that timeframe. In the 8 games since that hot start (3-5), the Vikings have allowed 18.2 points per game, a 161% rise, #92 in CIF-SS in that window. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Moreno Valley's last 8 opponents have averaged 27.9 points per game, a #158 offense in CIF-SS on the season, against 19.3 points per game, #294 for the first 3. Measured against those opponents' norms (27.9 points per game), Moreno Valley held those offenses 35% below what they usually score. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 8 opponents average a rating that would rank #140 in CIF-SS, well above the first 3 (#239), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, Moreno Valley ranks #51 in CIF-SS in scoring defense.
Moreno Valley's defense from the opening weeks has gone missing since. The Vikings forced 1.8 takeaways per game over their first 6 games (3-3), #71 in CIF-SS during that time. Over the stretch of 5 games that followed (3-2), Moreno Valley has forced 0.4 takeaways per game, a 78% drop, #351 in CIF-SS through those games. The schedule doesn't excuse it: the last 5 opponents have been softer, averaging 1.2 per game, a #204 offense in CIF-SS on the season, against 1.0 per game, #141 for the first 6. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.2 per game), Moreno Valley forced 68% fewer turnovers than those offenses usually give up. On the season, the Vikings rank #233 in CIF-SS in takeaways.
Something changed for Moreno Valley's ball security after its first 4 games. Moreno Valley committed 1.0 giveaways per game over its first 4 games (3-1), #122 in CIF-SS through that stretch. In the 7 games since that hot start (3-4), the Vikings have committed 1.9 giveaways per game, an 86% rise, #318 in CIF-SS over that stretch. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 1.3 per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.4 per game), Moreno Valley turned it over 34% more than those defenses usually force. On the season, Moreno Valley ranks #274 in CIF-SS in giveaways.
Moreno Valley's offense has scored less as the year has continued. The Vikings averaged 37.0 points per game over their first 3 games (3-0), #60 in CIF-SS within that period. In the 8 games since that hot start (3-5), Moreno Valley has averaged 18.9 points per game, a 49% drop, #294 in CIF-SS across those games. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 21.9 points per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (22.4 points per game), Moreno Valley scored 16% less than those defenses usually allow. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 8 opponents average a rating that would rank #140 in CIF-SS, well above the first 3 (#239), so the dip has come against better teams overall. Moreno Valley was held to 14 points or fewer 4 times in those games, including 3 against Rancho Verde on 9/25. On the season, the Vikings rank #218 in CIF-SS in scoring.
Moreno Valley averaged 8.9 yards per carry (746 yards on 84 rushes) over its first 3 games (3-0), #32 in CIF-SS during those games. Few teams started faster in this department, and few have cooled off as sharply since. In the 8 games since that hot start (3-5), the Vikings have averaged 5.6 yards per carry (1,237 yards on 221 rushes), a 37% drop, #193 in CIF-SS during that period. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Moreno Valley's last 8 opponents have averaged 4.9 yards per carry, a #109 run defense in CIF-SS on the season, against 6.1 yards per carry, #241 for the first 3. Measured against those opponents' norms (4.9 yards per carry), Moreno Valley ran for 14% more per carry than those run defenses usually allow. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 8 opponents average a rating that would rank #140 in CIF-SS, well above the first 3 (#239), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, Moreno Valley ranks #113 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 (defense 9/11, sacks allowed 10/11 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.
