In short: Torrance Tartars high school football (Torrance, CA), 2026 season: 6-3 in the Pioneer League. Last game: L 52-54 vs Culver City on October 23, 2026. Next: at North, 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 Torrance meets North is Torrance's scoring. Torrance averaged 25.2 points per game over its first 4 games (2-2), #195 in CIF-SS in that timeframe. In the 5 games since that slow start (4-1), the Tartars have averaged 43.8 points per game, a 73% rise, #22 in CIF-SS in that window. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Torrance's last 5 opponents have averaged 28.9 points per game, a #295 scoring defense in CIF-SS on the season, against 19.8 points per game, #141 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (28.9 points per game), Torrance scored 51% more than those defenses usually allow. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #142 in CIF-SS, well below the first 4 (#79), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. Meanwhile, North's defense has struggled in recent weeks. The Saxons have allowed 35.4 points per game over their last 5 games (1-4), #335 in CIF-SS during that time. Those games came against some of the better offenses in CIF-SS (33.8 points per game on the season, which would rank #85). On paper, that is a matchup that favors Torrance. Torrance is 5-1 this season when it scores 30 or more, and 1-2 when it doesn't.
The turnover battle could decide Torrance's next game, against North, and the recent returns favor Torrance. Torrance committed 1.4 giveaways per game over its first 5 games (3-2), #214 in CIF-SS through those games. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (3-1), the Tartars have committed 0.5 giveaways per game, a 64% drop, #44 in CIF-SS through 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 (1.3 per game), Torrance turned it over 61% less than those defenses usually force. Meanwhile, North's defense has struggled in recent weeks. The Saxons have forced 0.7 takeaways per game over their last 4 games (1-3), #304 in CIF-SS over that stretch. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of offenses in CIF-SS (1.1 per game on the season, which would rank #144). Against those norms, North forced 38% fewer turnovers than those offenses usually give up. On paper, that is a matchup that favors Torrance.
NOTES
The biggest shift in Torrance's season has come in its ground game. Torrance averaged 4.7 yards per carry (450 yards on 95 rushes) over its first 5 games (3-2), #264 in CIF-SS within that period. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (3-1), the Tartars have averaged 8.4 yards per carry (827 yards on 99 rushes), a 76% rise, #50 in CIF-SS across those games. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Torrance's last 4 opponents have averaged 7.0 yards per carry, a #306 run defense in CIF-SS on the season, against 5.4 yards per carry, #174 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (7.0 yards per carry), Torrance ran for 19% more per carry than those run defenses usually allow. On the season, Torrance ranks #107 in CIF-SS in rushing. The trend lines up well against North, whose run defense ranks just #356 of 404 (8.1 yards per carry).
Torrance's passing game has come a long way since the season's early weeks. The Tartars averaged 8.4 yards per pass attempt (686 yards on 82 attempts) over their first 3 games (2-1), #138 in CIF-SS during those games. In the 6 games since that slow start (4-2), Torrance has averaged 11.7 yards per pass attempt (1,790 yards on 153 attempts), a 40% rise, #30 in CIF-SS during that period. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Torrance's last 6 opponents have averaged 9.3 yards per attempt, a #299 pass defense in CIF-SS on the season, against 8.1 yards per attempt, #239 for the first 3. Measured against those opponents' norms (9.3 yards per attempt), Torrance threw for 26% more per attempt than those pass defenses usually allow. On the season, the Tartars rank #44 in CIF-SS in passing. The trend lines up well against North, whose pass defense ranks just #348 of 404 (10.2 yards per attempt).
Something changed for Torrance's offense after the first 5 games of the season. Torrance averaged 7.6 yards per play (1,730 yards on 227 snaps) over its first 5 games (3-2), #105 in CIF-SS during that stretch. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (3-1), the Tartars have averaged 10.0 yards per play (2,023 yards on 202 snaps), a 31% rise, #33 in CIF-SS over that period. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Torrance's last 4 opponents have averaged 8.1 yards per play, a #321 defense in CIF-SS on the season, against 6.9 yards per play, #239 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (8.1 yards per play), Torrance gained 23% more per snap than those defenses usually allow. On the season, Torrance ranks #41 in CIF-SS in yards per play. The trend lines up well against North, whose defense ranks just #366 of 404 (9.3 yards per play).
The Tartars allowed 27.7 points per game over their first 3 games (2-1), #262 in CIF-SS over that timeframe. Few teams started slower in this department, and few have turned it around as sharply since. In the 6 games since that slow start (4-2), Torrance has allowed 20.2 points per game, a 27% drop, #142 in CIF-SS over that span. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Torrance's last 6 opponents have averaged 29.3 points per game, a #136 offense in CIF-SS on the season, against 21.7 points per game, #257 for the first 3. Measured against those opponents' norms (29.3 points per game), Torrance held those offenses 31% below what they usually score. Only Culver City broke through in that span, putting up 54 on 10/23. On the season, the Tartars rank #185 in CIF-SS in scoring defense. North's offense sits in the middle of the pack, #270 in CIF-SS (20.8 points per game). Torrance is 5-0 this season when it holds opponents under 21, and 1-3 when it doesn't.

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 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.
