JA Athletics Year in Review

From the first whistle to the final game, our athletes demonstrated dedication, teamwork, and perseverance. The 2025-2026 athletic year at Jackson Academy was one for the record books, with six state titles across five sports, five state runners-up finishes, a program-record 20 athletic college scholarship signings, three Clarion Ledger Dandy Dozen selections including the first two ever in football, and two Gatorade Mississippi Players of the Year. It was a year that reminded everyone watching what Raider athletics is all about.
