# Hempstead at Houston Scarborough, 2026
The algorithm likes Houston Scarborough to win this one, but barely, picking the Scarborough squad by just three points with a 61% home-field edge. That's the kind of razor-thin margin that'll have fans second-guessing the model all week, especially if Hempstead's been turning heads early in the season. The real question: do you trust the computer's slight lean toward the home team, or do you think this non-district matchup is too close to call? Either way, this one figures to come down to the final possession.
