# Iredell at Covington, 2026
Covington gets the nod in our crystal ball, but just barely, a razor-thin 2-point edge with the home crowd as the tiebreaker at 55 percent. This non-district matchup has all the makings of a coin flip, the kind of game where one big play or a couple of breaks could flip the script entirely. So here's the question for the faithful: do you trust the model's slight lean toward the hosts, or do you fade the algorithm and back Iredell to steal one on the road? Either way, expect a battle that comes down to execution and poise in the fourth quarter.
