In short: WEST Warriors high school football (Torrance, CA), 2026 season: 5-5 in the Pioneer League. Last game: L 40-47 vs El Segundo 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 WEST's season has been the direction of its defense. WEST allowed 16.6 points per game over its first 5 games (4-1), #104 in CIF-SS in that timeframe. In the 5 games since that hot start (1-4), the Warriors have allowed 45.6 points per game, a 175% rise, #388 in CIF-SS in that window. The schedule has a lot to do with it: WEST's last 5 opponents have averaged 30.6 points per game, a #123 offense in CIF-SS on the season, against 26.6 points per game, #172 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (30.6 points per game), WEST allowed 49% 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 #116 in CIF-SS, well above the first 5 (#299), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, WEST ranks #317 in CIF-SS in scoring defense.
WEST's defense from the opening weeks has gone missing since. The Warriors forced 1.2 takeaways per game over their first 6 games (5-1), #220 in CIF-SS during that time. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (0-4), WEST has forced 0.0 takeaways per game, a 100% drop, #387 in CIF-SS through those games. The schedule has a lot to do with it: WEST's last 4 opponents have averaged 1.3 per game, a #213 offense in CIF-SS on the season, against 1.4 per game, #237 for the first 6. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.3 per game), WEST forced 100% fewer turnovers than those offenses usually give up. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 4 opponents average a rating that would rank #95 in CIF-SS, well above the first 6 (#284), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, the Warriors rank #327 in CIF-SS in takeaways.
WEST averaged 43.7 points per game over its first 6 games (5-1), #18 in CIF-SS through that stretch. Few teams started faster in this department, and few have cooled off as sharply since. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (0-4), the Warriors have averaged 16.2 points per game, a 63% drop, #297 in CIF-SS over that stretch. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 27.1 points per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (27.0 points per game), WEST scored 40% less than those defenses usually allow. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 4 opponents average a rating that would rank #95 in CIF-SS, well above the first 6 (#284), so the dip has come against better teams overall. WEST was held to 14 points or fewer 3 times in those games, including 6 against Torrance on 10/15. On the season, WEST ranks #87 in CIF-SS in scoring.
Something changed for WEST's passing game after its first 3 games. The Warriors averaged 9.2 yards per pass attempt (766 yards on 83 attempts) over their first 3 games (2-1), #97 in CIF-SS within that period. In the 7 games since that slow start (3-4), WEST has averaged 10.8 yards per pass attempt (1,168 yards on 108 attempts), a 17% rise, #43 in CIF-SS across those games. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 9.0 yards per attempt on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (9.0 yards per attempt), WEST threw for 21% more per attempt than those pass defenses usually allow. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 7 opponents average a rating that would rank #155 in CIF-SS, well above the first 3 (#323), which makes the improvement more impressive. On the season, the Warriors rank #56 in CIF-SS in passing.

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 (offense 9/10, defense 6/10, sacks/INT 9/10, sacks allowed 6/10, turnovers 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.
