In short: TIVY Antlers high school football (Kerrville, TX), 2026 season: 8-0. Last game: W 80-0 vs Northeast Early College on October 23, 2026. Next: at Canyon Lake, 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 TIVY meets Canyon Lake is TIVY's scoring defense. TIVY allowed 34.6 points per game over its first 5 games (5-0), #874 in section in that timeframe. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (3-0), the Antlers have allowed 23.0 points per game, a 34% drop, #437 in section in that window. The schedule deserves some of the credit: TIVY's last 3 opponents have averaged 25.3 points per game, a #767 offense in section on the season, against 28.5 points per game, #653 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (25.3 points per game), TIVY held those offenses 9% below what they usually score. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 3 opponents average a rating that would rank #1018 in section, well below the first 5 (#609), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. Only Taylor broke through in that span, putting up 56 on 10/9. Conversely, Canyon Lake's offense has been one of section's better units in recent weeks. The Hawks have averaged 58.3 points per game over their last 3 games (3-0), #42 in section during that time. Those games came against some of the weaker scoring defenses in section (37.3 points per game on the season, which would rank #954). Against those norms, Canyon Lake scored 56% more than those defenses usually allow. Overall, those opponents average an SP Strength Index rating that would rank #960 in section, a lower level of competition. Something has to give when TIVY's surging defense meets one of section's better units in Canyon Lake's. TIVY is 6-0 this season when it holds opponents under 52, and 2-0 when it doesn't.
NOTES
The biggest worry in TIVY's season has been the direction of its run defense. TIVY allowed 5.7 yards per carry (596 yards on 104 rushes) over its first 3 games (3-0), #594 in section through those games. In the 5 games since that hot start (5-0), the Antlers have allowed 8.3 yards per carry (888 yards on 107 rushes), a 45% rise, #1022 in section through that stretch. The schedule has a lot to do with it: TIVY's last 5 opponents have averaged 7.2 yards per carry, a #268 rushing attack in section on the season, against 5.3 yards per carry, #669 for the first 3. Measured against those opponents' norms (7.2 yards per carry), TIVY allowed 16% more per carry than those rushing attacks usually gain. On the season, TIVY ranks #897 in section in run defense. It won't get any easier against Canyon Lake, whose ground game ranks #141 in section (8.0 yards per carry).
TIVY's ground game has come a long way since the season's early weeks. The Antlers averaged 6.5 yards per carry (815 yards on 125 rushes) over their first 4 games (4-0), #351 in section over that stretch. In the 4 games since that slow start (4-0), TIVY has averaged 9.0 yards per carry (1,406 yards on 157 rushes), a 37% rise, #101 in section within that period. The schedule deserves some of the credit: TIVY's last 4 opponents have averaged 8.4 yards per carry, a #1095 run defense in section on the season, against 6.4 yards per carry, #743 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (8.4 yards per carry), TIVY ran for 6% more per carry than those run defenses usually allow. Overall, though, those opponents have been lower-level teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank just #834 in section. On the season, the Antlers rank #155 in section in rushing. Canyon Lake's run defense sits in the middle of the pack, #911 in section (7.1 yards per carry).
TIVY averaged 15.0 yards per pass attempt (1,520 yards on 101 attempts) over its first 4 games (4-0), #14 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 (4-0), the Antlers have averaged 10.5 yards per pass attempt (995 yards on 95 attempts), a 30% drop, #209 in section during those games. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 9.2 yards per attempt on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (8.8 yards per attempt), TIVY threw for 18% more per attempt than those pass defenses usually allow. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. On the season, TIVY ranks #33 in section in passing. Canyon Lake's pass defense, #1013 of 1234 (10.2 yards per attempt), could be the get-right matchup TIVY needs.
Something changed for TIVY's defense after its first 3 games. The Antlers allowed 6.4 yards per play (1,381 yards on 215 snaps) over their first 3 games (3-0), #550 in section during that period. In the 5 games since that hot start (5-0), TIVY has allowed 8.3 yards per play (1,592 yards on 192 snaps), a 29% rise, #910 in section during that stretch. The schedule has a lot to do with it: TIVY's last 5 opponents have averaged 7.2 yards per play, a #437 offense in section on the season, against 6.0 yards per play, #714 for the first 3. Measured against those opponents' norms (7.2 yards per play), TIVY allowed 15% more per snap than those offenses usually gain. On the season, the Antlers rank #778 in section in yards per play allowed. It won't get any easier against Canyon Lake, whose offense ranks #39 in section (10.3 yards per play).
TIVY's pass defense has allowed more yards per attempt as the season has worn on. TIVY allowed 7.1 yards per pass attempt (785 yards on 111 attempts) over its first 3 games (3-0), #485 in section over that period. In the 5 games since that hot start (5-0), the Antlers have allowed 8.3 yards per pass attempt (704 yards on 85 attempts), a 17% rise, #616 in section over that timeframe. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 7.0 yards per attempt on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (7.2 yards per attempt), TIVY allowed 15% more per attempt than those passing attacks usually gain. On the season, TIVY ranks #508 in section in pass defense. It won't get any easier against Canyon Lake, whose passing game ranks #17 in section (14.1 yards per attempt).

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.
