In short: Rosamond Roadrunners high school football (Rosamond, CA), 2026 season: 2-7. Last game: L 0-2 vs Boron on October 23, 2026. Next: vs Bishop Union, October 30, 2026. Schedule and results, player season stats, stat leaders, unit grades, ScorePirate ranking and the game-by-game log.
The number to watch when Rosamond meets Bishop Union is Rosamond's scoring. Rosamond averaged 16.4 points per game over its first 5 games (2-3), #87 in Section in that timeframe. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (0-4), the Roadrunners have averaged 4.5 points per game, a 73% drop, #112 in Section in that window. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Rosamond's last 4 opponents have averaged 16.1 points per game, a #22 scoring defense in Section on the season, against 26.8 points per game, #67 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (16.1 points per game), Rosamond scored 72% less than those defenses usually allow. Rosamond was held to 14 points or fewer 4 times in those games, including 0 against California City on 10/16. Meanwhile, Bishop Union's defense has been middle of the pack in recent weeks. The Broncos have allowed 20.5 points per game over their last 4 games (2-2), #38 in Section during that time. Those games came against some of the better offenses in Section (29.3 points per game on the season, which would rank #33). Against those norms, Bishop Union held those offenses 30% below what they usually score. Overall, those opponents average an SP Strength Index rating that would rank #68 in Section, a lower level of competition. Bishop Union offers Rosamond a fair measuring stick for whether the trend is real.
The turnover battle could decide Rosamond's next game, against Bishop Union, and the recent returns favor Bishop Union. Rosamond forced 2.2 takeaways per game over its first 4 games (2-2), #10 in Section through those games. In the 5 games since that hot start (0-5), the Roadrunners have forced 1.0 takeaways per game, a 56% drop, #67 in Section through that stretch. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Rosamond's last 5 opponents have averaged 1.5 per game, a #73 offense in Section on the season, against 1.8 per game, #83 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.5 per game), Rosamond forced 33% fewer turnovers than those offenses usually give up. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #83 in Section, well above the first 4 (#102), so the dip has come against better teams overall. Meanwhile, Bishop Union's ball security has been middle of the pack in recent weeks. The Broncos have committed 1.4 giveaways per game over their last 5 games (2-3), #61 in Section over that stretch. Those games came against some of the better defenses in Section (2.1 per game on the season, which would rank #13). Against those norms, Bishop Union turned it over 34% less than those defenses usually force. Overall, those opponents average an SP Strength Index rating that would rank #68 in Section, a lower level of competition. Bishop Union offers Rosamond a fair measuring stick for whether the trend is real.
NOTES
The biggest shift in Rosamond's season has come in its defense. Rosamond allowed 24.7 points per game over its first 6 games (2-4), #57 in Section within that period. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (0-3), the Roadrunners have allowed 12.0 points per game, a 51% drop, #16 in Section across those games. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Rosamond's last 3 opponents have averaged 18.0 points per game, a #88 offense in Section on the season, against 22.4 points per game, #71 for the first 6. Measured against those opponents' norms (18.0 points per game), Rosamond held those offenses 33% below what they usually score. Overall, though, those opponents have been lower-level teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank just #91 in Section. Only California City broke through in that span, putting up 34 on 10/9. On the season, Rosamond ranks #36 in Section in scoring defense. Bishop Union's offense sits in the middle of the pack, #67 in Section (23.4 points per game). Rosamond is 2-3 this season when it holds opponents under 24, and 0-4 when it doesn't.

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 four weighted criteria and the top 5 per team are listed. In Cooper's own weighting order: (1) the WIN% attached to the condition, counted only when the condition has occurred at least 8 times -- a smaller sample is dropped outright, not discounted; (2) the PPG attached to it, with higher better on offense and lower better on defense, and each side normalized against its own kind so a defensive number competes with defensive numbers rather than against scoring averages; (3) how far the number sits from the OPPONENT's on the same condition, across win%, PPG and how often the condition happens at all; and (4) where it falls among every other team previously run through this workbook and cached. Criteria 1 and 2 measure how strong a number is; 3 and 4 measure how much it distinguishes this team. Weights: win_pct 40%, ppg 27%, matchup 20%, pool 13%. See important_numbers.py.
