Penelope 71%29% Covington
# Covington at Penelope, 2026 Penelope gets the nod in our model by a razor-thin two points, but don't sleep on Covington in this non-district matchup. The home-field advantage gives the Panthers a slight 55% win probability according to our numbers, which basically screams "toss-up" to anyone paying attention. So here's the question: do you trust the algorithm's lean toward Penelope, or do you think Covington has enough to steal one on the road? Either way, this one should come down to the final possession.
