# McLean at Happy, Non-District Showdown The model likes McLean by a field goal in this one, but it's practically a coin flip with Happy sitting at 44% to pull off the home upset. Both programs will be looking to build momentum early in the 2026 season, and this non-district matchup could set the tone for whoever walks away with the W. The question for fans: trust the algorithm's slight lean toward the visitors, or ride with Happy's home-field advantage and fade the prediction entirely?
