Why this one matters

The Tigers head south to a hostile gym at Opp, where the Bobcats will look to defend home court. The teams last met on Jan. 6, 2025, at Opp High School, when Opp pulled out a 47-38 victory. Interestingly, SBLive’s model gave McKenzie the edge that night (about a 56% pregame chance) — a reminder that predictions don’t decide outcomes and that rivalry games can flip expectations.
