# DeKalb at Hughes Springs, 2026 District Matchup
Hughes Springs gets the nod in our crystal ball, but just barely, with a razor-thin 2-point edge and a coin-flip 55% home probability. This is the kind of toss-up where the model hedges its bets, leaving plenty of room for DeKalb to walk into Wildcat territory and pull off the upset. The question for fans: do you trust the slight algorithmic lean toward the home team, or do you fade it and back the road squad? Either way, this district battle figures to come down to execution and momentum in the final moments.
