AI prediction: Santa Fe by 2 · Toss-up
Santa Fe 55%45% Dayton
# Santa Fe Hosts Dayton in District Showdown Santa Fe gets the nod in our model by a razor-thin 2 points, but don't sleep on this one, because our algorithm is barely more confident than a coin flip at 55 percent for the home team. Dayton is coming in as a live dog in what shapes up as a true toss-up, the kind of district game where execution and momentum matter more than any computer projection. So the question for fans is simple: trust the slight lean toward Santa Fe, or fade the model entirely and back the underdog?
