# Groom at Follett, 2026 District Showdown
The numbers say this one's a coin flip, but our model gives the slight edge to Follett by two points in what should be a tight district battle. Both programs know what's at stake in this one, and the home-field advantage in Follett tips the scales just barely in the Panthers' favor at 55 percent win probability. So here's the question for the faithful: do you trust the algorithm, or are you ready to fade the model and ride with your gut on Friday night? Either way, expect a defensive struggle where field position and execution in the trenches decide the outcome.
