# Lake Worth at Van Alstyne, 2026 District Showdown
Van Alstyne gets the nod in our crystal ball, but just barely, with the Panthers favored by a deuce in what our model pegs as a genuine toss-up. The home-field advantage tilts things Van Alstyne's way at 55 percent, but Lake Worth has enough juice to make this a sweaty one come Friday night. So here's the question for the faithful: do you trust the algorithm's razor-thin edge, or do you fade it and ride with your gut? Either way, this one's got trap game written all over it.
