Landon Duckworth Dazzles in Jackson Victory
Landon Duckworth's big game helped extend Jackson's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Duckworth as he rushed for 94 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 85 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Duckworth might just drop another big game when he faces off against Satsuma on Friday. Duckworth threw for 228 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes the last time he and the Gators duked it out back in October of 2023.

Crowell Made His Presence Known in Jackson's 48-0 Win
