In short: Villa Park Spartans high school football (Villa Park, CA), 2026 season: 7-3 in the Bravo League. Last game: L 21-49 vs Crean Lutheran on October 30, 2026. Schedule and results, player season stats, stat leaders, unit grades, ScorePirate ranking and the game-by-game log.
The biggest worry in Villa Park's season has been the direction of its ball security. Villa Park committed 0.2 giveaways per game over its first 5 games (5-0), #2 in CIF-SS in that timeframe. In the 5 games since that hot start (2-3), the Spartans have committed 2.6 giveaways per game, a 1200% rise, #372 in CIF-SS in that window. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Villa Park's last 5 opponents have averaged 1.5 per game, a #145 defense in CIF-SS on the season, against 1.4 per game, #194 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.5 per game), Villa Park turned it over 71% more than those defenses usually force. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #19 in CIF-SS, well above the first 5 (#196), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, Villa Park ranks #237 in CIF-SS in giveaways.
The Spartans allowed 8.0 points per game over their first 5 games (5-0), #12 in CIF-SS during that time. Few teams started faster in this department, and few have cooled off as sharply since. In the 5 games since that hot start (2-3), Villa Park has allowed 31.2 points per game, a 290% rise, #296 in CIF-SS through those games. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Villa Park's last 5 opponents have averaged 28.7 points per game, a #148 offense in CIF-SS on the season, against 14.1 points per game, #350 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (28.7 points per game), Villa Park allowed 9% more than those offenses usually score. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #19 in CIF-SS, well above the first 5 (#196), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, the Spartans rank #128 in CIF-SS in scoring defense.
Villa Park's defense from the opening weeks has gone missing since. Villa Park allowed 3.0 yards per play (506 yards on 167 snaps) over its first 5 games (5-0), #4 in CIF-SS through that stretch. In the 5 games since that hot start (2-3), the Spartans have allowed 7.7 yards per play (1,730 yards on 226 snaps), a 153% rise, #278 in CIF-SS over that stretch. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Villa Park's last 5 opponents have averaged 7.2 yards per play, a #139 offense in CIF-SS on the season, against 4.7 yards per play, #346 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (7.2 yards per play), Villa Park allowed 7% more per snap than those offenses usually gain. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #19 in CIF-SS, well above the first 5 (#196), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, Villa Park ranks #95 in CIF-SS in yards per play allowed.
Something changed for Villa Park's pass defense after the first 6 games of the season. The Spartans allowed 4.5 yards per pass attempt (423 yards on 93 attempts) over their first 6 games (5-1), #16 in CIF-SS within that period. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (2-2), Villa Park has allowed 11.4 yards per pass attempt (936 yards on 82 attempts), a 151% rise, #345 in CIF-SS across those games. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Villa Park's last 4 opponents have averaged 9.0 yards per attempt, a #103 passing attack in CIF-SS on the season, against 5.9 yards per attempt, #308 for the first 6. Measured against those opponents' norms (9.0 yards per attempt), Villa Park allowed 26% more per attempt than those passing attacks usually gain. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 4 opponents average a rating that would rank #20 in CIF-SS, well above the first 6 (#147), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, the Spartans rank #200 in CIF-SS in pass defense.
Villa Park's run defense has been run over as the season has developed. Villa Park allowed 2.8 yards per carry (284 yards on 100 rushes) over its first 5 games (5-0), #10 in CIF-SS during those games. In the 5 games since that hot start (2-3), the Spartans have allowed 5.0 yards per carry (593 yards on 118 rushes), a 77% rise, #133 in CIF-SS during that period. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Villa Park's last 5 opponents have averaged 5.7 yards per carry, a #181 rushing attack in CIF-SS on the season, against 4.0 yards per carry, #335 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (5.7 yards per carry), Villa Park held those rushing attacks 12% below their usual yards per carry. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #19 in CIF-SS, well above the first 5 (#196), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, Villa Park ranks #45 in CIF-SS in run defense.

PPG/OPP PPG use every played game on file. YPG/PLAYS-PER-GAME columns only ever come from games with a full box score on file, which can be a smaller sample than GP -- see the coverage note below when that's the case for this team.
Averages use only games with that number on file (defense 8/10, sacks allowed 9/10 games). SACKS ALW comes from the opponent's box score; TO FORCED is takeaways; TO MAR is takeaways minus giveaways, and its bottom cell is the season total. Dashes mean not on file.
