Jersey and Jacksonville are an even 4-4 against one another since December of 2017, but not for long. The Panthers will take on the Crimsons in a tournament on Monday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.

Meanwhile, Jacksonville had to endure a three-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They pulled ahead with a 62-61 photo finish over Decatur Eisenhower on Friday. The final result isn’t all that surprising considering the Crimsons’ considerable advantage in MaxPreps’ Illinois basketball rankings (they are ranked 147th, while the Panthers are ranked 339th).
Jacksonville’s win bumped their record up to 9-7. As for Jersey, their victory bumped their record up to 5-15.
Jersey couldn’t quite finish off Jacksonville in their previous meeting back in January of 2025 and fell 59-56. Thankfully for the Panthers, Amaree Burries (who went 9-for-14 en route to 24 points and six boards) won’t be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
