Jacksonville reached the second round of the playoffs before falling to American Christian by a score of 49-35. Since 2010, Jacksonville has gone a combined 85-51. Their 62.5% winning percentage ranks 14th in Class 4A over the past twelve seasons. Over the past 25 seasons, Jacksonville has managed to compile a record of 142-124. Their 53.0% winning percentage ranks 23rd in Class 4A and 160th in the AHSAA. The Golden Eagles are led by head coach Clint Smith who is entering his eleventh season at the helm.

They have won two region crowns with Coach Smith. Coach Smith's overall record as a head football coach in twenty season stands at 138-82 (62.7%).

Coach Smith won a state championship at Trinity Oxford in 2000. The Jacksonville Golden Eagles will play in Class 4A region four during the 2022 season.
