SAHS Quarterback Austin Reed and his High School buddies give back to the local sports community:
This week (July 27th – 30th) the St. Johns County Police Athletic League (PAL) held their annual Summer football camp for kids in grades ranging from 2nd grade through 8th grade. The camp is being attended by over 120 kids who will be participating in the Police Athletic Leagues Fall junior development league (JDL) and Middle School League football programs held in St. Augustine. Several former PAL football players and players from other associations who are now playing football at either St. Augustine High School, Pedro Menendez High School, or St. Joseph Academy were invited to volunteer to help coach at the four day camp.
St. Augustine High School varsity quarterback Austin Reed joined in with several of his Jackets teammates to help coach several skills stations on offense and defense at the camp, and coach an 8th grade team for the week long flag football tournament held at the end of camp each day. Each of these volunteers earn 24 hours of volunteer service hours that are credited to their requirements at their respective schools. Great job guys!
The St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets wrap up 7 on 7 Summer play
The St. Augustine Yellow Jackets Varsity Football Team wrapped up their annual 7 on 7 Summer play today in a game against the Clay High School Blue Devils at the Solomon Calhoun Center sports fields. This was the fifth game of the Summer, as previous opponents included Oak Leaf HS, Mandarin HS, Bishop Kenny HS and Atlantic Coast HS. The Yellow Jackets will finish their summer workouts on Tuesday, and be ready to start with the Fall football season practices starting on Monday, August 3rd.
St. Augustine High School quarterback Austin Reed had very productive Summer workouts and 7 on 7 games. Austin finished todays game against Clay HS throwing for two touchdowns. In addition to training with the Jackets football team this Summer, Austin has spent about 6 days per week working out with individual quarterback training, working with a speed and agility trainer, and many other days spent in the gym weight lifting. Good luck to Austin and all of his Yellow Jackets Varsity Football teammates on a successful 2015 season.
