<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There was a one month stretch during the 2024 high school football season where Jacksonville's Andrew Jackson Tigers were 4-1 and looking solid in the District 4-2A race.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While the run saw only a 26-0 loss to power Jacksonville Bolles, it came down to the final two games that made a difference in the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Losses to Baldwin (10-9) and Jacksonville First Coast (6-0) kept this team from the post season, and for the players and coaches coming back, it became a rallying point in the off-season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What veteran head coach <strong>Bobby Ramsay</strong> and his staff did from January until the start of the summer was the focus of the upcoming season. From spring until the start of July, players have made sure they attended as many events as possible to get better and put themselves in the spotlight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The upcoming season will see a more veteran group that starts with the seniors and will include some quality underclassmen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a look at
