AI prediction: Columbus by 2 · Toss-up
Columbus 55%45% Hempstead

# Hempstead at Columbus, District Matchup Columbus gets a razor-thin 2-point edge in our model, but calling a game this close a "prediction" feels like a stretch. The computers say the home team's got a 55% chance to pull this off, which is basically coin-flip territory, so you're not getting much separation between these district rivals. If you're the type to fade the model on toss-ups, Hempstead's got every reason to believe they can steal one on the road. Either way, this one's going to come down to execution and who wants it more on Friday night.
