In short: Wylie Pirates high school football (Wylie, TX), 2026 season: 6-2. Last game: W 56-0 vs North Garland on October 23, 2026. Next: vs Rowlett, October 30, 2026. Schedule and results, player season stats, stat leaders, unit grades, ScorePirate ranking and the game-by-game log.
The battle on the air could decide Wylie's next game, against Rowlett, and the recent returns favor Rowlett. Wylie allowed 6.2 yards per pass attempt (1,035 yards on 166 attempts) over its first 3 games (3-0), #350 in section in that timeframe. In the 5 games since that hot start (3-2), the Pirates have allowed 9.7 yards per pass attempt (740 yards on 76 attempts), a 56% rise, #853 in section in that window. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 7.2 yards per attempt on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (7.2 yards per attempt), Wylie allowed 36% more per attempt than those passing attacks usually gain. Conversely, Rowlett's passing game has been one of section's better units in recent weeks. The Eagles have averaged 9.4 yards per pass attempt (1,252 yards on 133 attempts) over their last 5 games (3-2), #312 in section during that time. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of pass defenses in section (7.8 yards per attempt on the season, which would rank #561). Against those norms, Rowlett threw for 21% more per attempt than those pass defenses usually allow. Unless Wylie's pass defense rediscovers its early form, the edge in this matchup belongs to Rowlett.
The number to watch when Wylie meets Rowlett is Wylie's takeaways. Wylie forced 3.8 takeaways per game over its first 4 games (3-1), #7 in section through those games. In the 4 games since that hot start (3-1), the Pirates have forced 2.0 takeaways per game, a 47% drop, #189 in section through that stretch. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Wylie's last 4 opponents have averaged 1.5 per game, a #794 offense in section on the season, against 2.0 per game, #1087 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.5 per game), Wylie forced 34% more turnovers than those offenses usually give up. 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 4 opponents average a rating that would rank #779 in section, well below the first 4 (#568), which makes the dip harder to excuse. Meanwhile, Rowlett's ball security has been middle of the pack in recent weeks. The Eagles have committed 1.2 giveaways per game over their last 4 games (2-2), #611 in section over that stretch. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of defenses in section (1.5 per game on the season, which would rank #457). Against those norms, Rowlett turned it over 14% less than those defenses usually force. Rowlett offers Wylie a fair measuring stick for whether the trend is real.
NOTES
The biggest shift in Wylie's season has come in its defense. Wylie allowed 29.8 points per game over its first 4 games (3-1), #675 in section within that period. In the 4 games since that slow start (3-1), the Pirates have allowed 19.5 points per game, a 34% drop, #324 in section across those games. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Wylie's last 4 opponents have averaged 22.4 points per game, a #870 offense in section on the season, against 28.6 points per game, #647 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (22.4 points per game), Wylie held those offenses 13% below what they usually score. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 4 opponents average a rating that would rank #779 in section, well below the first 4 (#568), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. Only Wylie East broke through in that span, putting up 42 on 10/9. On the season, Wylie ranks #430 in section in scoring defense. Rowlett's offense sits in the middle of the pack, #552 in section (31.0 points per game). Wylie is 6-0 this season when it holds opponents under 31, and 0-2 when it doesn't.
Wylie's run defense has come a long way since the season's early weeks. The Pirates allowed 4.8 yards per carry (986 yards on 205 rushes) over their first 4 games (3-1), #311 in section during those games. In the 4 games since that slow start (3-1), Wylie has allowed 3.3 yards per carry (371 yards on 112 rushes), a 31% drop, #125 in section during that period. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Wylie's last 4 opponents have averaged 3.9 yards per carry, a #952 rushing attack in section on the season, against 4.4 yards per carry, #878 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (3.9 yards per carry), Wylie held those rushing attacks 14% below their usual yards per carry. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 4 opponents average a rating that would rank #779 in section, well below the first 4 (#568), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, the Pirates rank #152 in section in run defense. Rowlett's ground game sits in the middle of the pack, #513 in section (5.9 yards per carry).
Something changed for Wylie's defense after its first 4 games. Wylie allowed 6.0 yards per play (2,416 yards on 402 snaps) over its first 4 games (3-1), #387 in section during that stretch. In the 4 games since that slow start (3-1), the Pirates have allowed 4.6 yards per play (716 yards on 157 snaps), a 24% drop, #136 in section over that period. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Wylie's last 4 opponents have averaged 5.0 yards per play, a #921 offense in section on the season, against 6.1 yards per play, #707 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (5.0 yards per play), Wylie held those offenses 8% below their usual yards per snap. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 4 opponents average a rating that would rank #779 in section, well below the first 4 (#568), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, Wylie ranks #219 in section in yards per play allowed. Rowlett's offense sits in the middle of the pack, #312 in section (7.7 yards per play).
One of Wylie's most reliable areas lately has been its ground game. The Pirates averaged 7.1 yards per carry (1,084 yards on 153 rushes) over their first 4 games (3-1), #254 in section over that timeframe. In the 4 games since that slow start (3-1), Wylie has averaged 8.6 yards per carry (893 yards on 104 rushes), a 21% rise, #144 in section over that span. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Wylie's last 4 opponents have averaged 6.2 yards per carry, a #677 run defense in section on the season, against 5.6 yards per carry, #514 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (6.2 yards per carry), Wylie ran for 39% more per carry than those run 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 #779 in section, well below the first 4 (#568), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, the Pirates rank #185 in section in rushing. That form gets a real test against Rowlett, whose run defense ranks #216 in section (4.6 yards per carry).
Wylie's offense has moved the ball at will as the season has progressed. Wylie averaged 7.8 yards per play (1,926 yards on 246 snaps) over its first 4 games (3-1), #275 in section in that timeframe. In the 4 games since that slow start (3-1), the Pirates have averaged 9.3 yards per play (1,545 yards on 167 snaps), an 18% rise, #153 in section in that window. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 6.9 yards per play on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (7.0 yards per play), Wylie gained 32% more per snap 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 #779 in section, well below the first 4 (#568), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, Wylie ranks #193 in section in yards per play. Rowlett's defense sits in the middle of the pack, #313 in section (6.0 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.
