# Shepherd Hosts West Orange-Stark in District Showdown
Shepherd gets the nod in our crystal ball, but barely, with the home team favored by just two points in what our model pegs as a genuine toss-up. West Orange-Stark arrives in Shepherd looking to make some noise in district play, but the home-field advantage gives the hosts a slight 55% win probability in what shapes up as a tight, competitive affair. So here's the question for the faithful: do you trust the algorithm's razor-thin edge for Shepherd, or do you fade the model and ride with the Mustangs? Either way, this one figures to come down to the final possession.
