Why this matters
The Jaguars and Hornets last met Dec. 13, 2024, at North Pike, a game the Jaguars controlled 69-25. That lopsided result gives North Pike momentum heading into this meeting, but nonleague matchups are often where teams experiment and younger players get minutes — expect coaches to be looking for progress as much as results.
