In short: San Pedro Pirates high school football (San Pedro, CA), 2026 season: 6-2 in the Marine League. Last game: L 0-35 vs Carson on October 23, 2026. Next: vs Narbonne, 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 San Pedro meets Narbonne is San Pedro's scoring defense. San Pedro allowed 13.2 points per game over its first 4 games (4-0), #11 in Section in that timeframe. In the 4 games since that hot start (2-2), the Pirates have allowed 19.8 points per game, a 49% rise, #25 in Section in that window. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 22.8 points per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (21.9 points per game), San Pedro held those offenses 10% below what they usually score. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. Overall, those opponents have been strong teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank #8 in Section. Meanwhile, Narbonne's offense has been middle of the pack in recent weeks. The Gauchos have averaged 26.8 points per game over their last 4 games (1-3), #37 in Section during that time. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of scoring defenses in Section (27.2 points per game on the season, which would rank #45). Overall, those opponents average an SP Strength Index rating that would rank #15 in Section, a strong slate. Narbonne offers San Pedro a fair measuring stick for whether the trend is real. San Pedro is 5-1 this season when it holds opponents under 22, and 1-1 when it doesn't.
NOTES
San Pedro's ground game looks better on paper, but one afternoon is doing a lot of the work. San Pedro averaged 7.0 yards per carry (966 yards on 138 rushes) on the season, #37 in Section, but that number is boosted by a 214-yard game on 8 rushes against Gardena on 10/16. In all other games, San Pedro is at 5.8 yards per carry (752 yards on 130 rushes), a figure that would rank #46 in Section. Context matters here: Gardena's run defense ranks among the weakest in Section (11.5 yards per carry, #74 of 77), so that game says more about the opponent than about the unit itself. Narbonne's run defense (9.3 yards per carry, #60 of 77) gives San Pedro a real chance to look like the season line again.
The biggest worry in San Pedro's season has been the direction of its offense. The Pirates averaged 43.8 points per game over their first 4 games (4-0), #3 in Section through those games. In the 4 games since that hot start (2-2), San Pedro has averaged 29.8 points per game, a 32% drop, #24 in Section through that stretch. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 26.0 points per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (25.6 points per game), San Pedro scored 16% more than those defenses usually allow. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. Overall, those opponents have been strong teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank #8 in Section. San Pedro was held to 14 points or fewer 2 times in those games, including 0 against ScorePirate CIF Los Angeles City Section #1 Carson on 10/23. On the season, the Pirates rank #8 in Section in scoring. Narbonne's defense, #64 of 77 (32.1 points per game), could be the get-right matchup San Pedro needs. San Pedro is 5-0 this season when it scores 33 or more, and 1-2 when it doesn't.
San Pedro's passing game from the opening weeks has gone missing since. San Pedro averaged 12.0 yards per pass attempt (987 yards on 82 attempts) over its first 4 games (4-0), #7 in Section over that stretch. In the 4 games since that hot start (2-2), the Pirates have averaged 8.3 yards per pass attempt (679 yards on 82 attempts), a 31% drop, #27 in Section within that period. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 10.3 yards per attempt on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (10.1 yards per attempt), San Pedro threw for 18% less per attempt than those pass defenses usually allow. Overall, those opponents have been strong teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank #8 in Section. On the season, San Pedro ranks #12 in Section in passing. Narbonne's pass defense, #60 of 77 (10.7 yards per attempt), could be the get-right matchup San Pedro needs.
The Pirates allowed 5.3 yards per play (994 yards on 189 snaps) over their first 4 games (4-0), #6 in Section across those games. Few teams started faster in this department, and few have cooled off as sharply since. In the 4 games since that hot start (2-2), San Pedro has allowed 6.0 yards per play (973 yards on 161 snaps), a 15% rise, #15 in Section during those games. The schedule doesn't excuse it: the last 4 opponents have been softer, averaging 6.5 yards per play, a #44 offense in Section on the season, against 7.4 yards per play, #34 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (6.5 yards per play), San Pedro held those offenses 7% below their usual yards per snap. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. Overall, those opponents have been strong teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank #8 in Section. On the season, the Pirates rank #4 in Section in yards per play allowed. It won't get any easier against Narbonne, whose offense ranks #3 in Section (19.4 yards per play).

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.
