Jackson scored 24 points in the fourth quarter to pull away for a 31-10 victory against the Panthers to win its 23rd successive game and its 47th game in its last 49 tries going back to the start of the 2018 season.

“We've got a few things going against us,” Jackson Coach Eckley said. “We're a big school in Southeast Missouri — it's not easy to get games. When you start to get pretty good, teams don't want to drive two hours or three hours or four hours to get beat.”
.
Quarterback Cameron Marchi threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns for Jackson (9-0), No. 1 in Class 5 in the Missouri Media rankings. Kannen Turley caught seven passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

It was the first game where Jackson was pushed in the fourth quarter this season.
“When you get to a very competitive game like this, you start to figure out what you need to work on and get better at,” Marchi said.

Rumor has it they declined to play Rochester due it being a mismatch.
The same Rochester who lost 56-7 to LA when LA played their second and third string after halftime. Rochester maybe the favorite in 5A but it shows the difference in level of competition. I am not saying every year because you can get teams like JCA and ESL that can compete on any given year but for the majority of the teams it’s not going to happen. IMO
