The St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets JV Football Team finish undefeated on the 2014 season

On Wednesday evening, October 22nd, The St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets Junior Varsity Football Team proved their dominance in JV football in St. Johns County and their District by beating the Creekside High School Knights JV Football Team to finish out the season undefeated with a record of 8-0.  The game started with both teams trying to get on track as the first quarter expired with the score 0 – 0.  Early in the second quarter, Creekside scored first to take a 6-0 lead.  The Jackets quickly drove the length of the field on a strong running game but missed the extra point to tie the game at 6-6.  On the next Jackets drive, quarterback Austin Reed, #7, hit his wide receiver Karim Brown, #8, on a 63 yard touchdown pass, followed by a successful two point conversion run to take the lead 14-6.  The Jackets were unable to score on a late drive in the second quarter and ended the half leading 14-6.

The Creekside Knights came out and played tough in the second half and were able to score two more touchdowns on a very tricky offensive plan and a big play for a touch down on a fake punt.  However, the second half was mostly dominated by the Jackets offense, who were able to control the line of scrimmage and game clock when needed.  The Jackets added three more touchdowns in the half, including the first touchdown of the year for running back Fre Quan Sparrow, #25, late in the 4th quarter.  The game finished in a 35-20 win for the St. Augustine Yellow Jackets JV Football Team and the start of the post-game celebration for all of the boys.  Quarterback Austin Reed, #7, finished the game passing for 153 yard on 7 completions with one touchdown.

A great come from behind win improves the St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets JV Football Team to 7-0

The seventh game for the St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets Junior Varsity football team was the most dramatic of all of the games so far this year.  The game featured the undefeated, 6-0 Jackets, playing their long time rivals the Palatka High School Panthers football team, 4-2, at home in Brumley Stadium.  It didn’t take long for the Panthers to score on their first possession when their QB hit an open receiver down the left side for a 25 yard TD pass.  The Jackets countered with a 39 yard touchdown pass from Austin Reed, #7, to his receiver Karim Brown, #8, on a fade route down the sideline to take the lead 7-7.  The Panthers added two more touchdown runs of 75 yards and 53 yards on their next two drives to take the lead 20-7.  The Jackets soon after found the Panthers end zone on a touchdown run by fullback Martrell Storey, #9, after establishing a long, ball controlled series on offense.  The Panthers returned to the end zone before the first half on a 50 yard touchdown pass down the middle of the Jackets defense to go up 27-14 at the end of the first half.

The second half of the game started with another score by the Panthers, this time by the defense, when Jackets quarterback Austin Reed, #7, was hit by an untouched blitzing linebacker as he went to throw the ball, resulting in a Panthers interception return for a TD to increase their lead to 34-14.  Soon after, the Jackets got all aspects of their game going as the defense came alive to stop the Panthers on each drive.  The Jackets offense added two rushing touchdowns and special teams added another on a kickoff by Nick Lawler, #15, to tie the game late in the 4th quarter at 34-34.  The Jackets defense held the Panthers on their next drive to a punt attempt, which was blocked and returned into the Panthers end zone by Josh Peterson, #22, for the Jackets.  The Jackets held on to their lead to finish the game out 41-34 and improve their season record to 7-0.
