In short: Pieper Warriors high school football (San Antonio, TX), 2026 season: 5-3. Last game: W 45-24 vs Canyon on October 23, 2026. Next: vs Clemens, October 30, 2026. Schedule and results, player season stats, stat leaders, unit grades, ScorePirate ranking and the game-by-game log.
The battle on the air could decide Pieper's next game, against Clemens, and the recent returns favor Clemens. Pieper allowed 5.7 yards per pass attempt (483 yards on 85 attempts) over its first 4 games (2-2), #208 in section in that timeframe. In the 4 games since that hot start (3-1), the Warriors have allowed 9.6 yards per pass attempt (727 yards on 76 attempts), a 68% rise, #802 in section in that window. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Pieper's last 4 opponents have averaged 8.7 yards per attempt, a #375 passing attack in section on the season, against 7.2 yards per attempt, #631 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (8.7 yards per attempt), Pieper allowed 10% more per attempt than those passing attacks usually gain. Overall, those opponents have been strong teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank #261 in section. Meanwhile, Clemens' passing game has been middle of the pack in recent weeks. The Buffaloes have averaged 8.9 yards per pass attempt (766 yards on 86 attempts) over their last 4 games (3-1), #371 in section during that time. Those games came against some of the weaker pass defenses in section (9.5 yards per attempt on the season, which would rank #921). Against those norms, Clemens threw for 6% less per attempt than those pass defenses usually allow. Clemens offers Pieper a fair measuring stick for whether the trend is real.

Overall, those opponents have been strong teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank #261 in section. Meanwhile, Clemens' offense has been middle of the pack in recent weeks. The Buffaloes have averaged 7.2 yards per play (1,523 yards on 213 snaps) over their last 4 games (3-1), #424 in section over that stretch.

Clemens offers Pieper a fair measuring stick for whether the trend is real.

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.
