Jacksonville improved to 7-1 with a 43-13 win over Normal U-High, securing its third consecutive playoff berth and moving within one win of an 8-1 regular season, a mark it has not reached since 1966. The Crimsons’ defense forced multiple turnovers, including a fumble returned 94 yards for a touchdown by Jeremiah Jackson.
