As the students go back to school today in St. Johns County, marking the end of the Summer 2016, we would like to post an update on St. Augustine High School quarterback Austin Reed, who spend a lot of his Summer volunteering and giving back to his community. During the week of July 18th – 22nd, Austin served as a camp instructor/coach for the St. Johns Police Athletic League youth football camp. The football camp is an annual event with over 200 kids participating to prepare them for the start of the St. Johns PAL Fall football season. The kids ages range from elementary school age up through the 8th grade. In addition to his time spend instructing/coaching the kids at the camp, Austin select team of 7th and 8th graders won the week long flag football tournament under his coaching.
The 2016 High School football season begins in Florida:
Today is August 1st, the beginning of the 2016 Fall football season for programs all across the State of Florida. It is also the first official day of practice for the St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets football team under new head coach Brian Braddock. Coach Braddock replaces former long term Head Coach Joey Wiles, who was with the program for 20 years.
The Jackets kick-off their 2016 season with a pre-season game on August 19th at home versus Daytona Beach Seabreeze High School. The regular season starts the following week on the road at Baker County HS.
The Summer was very productive for the St. Augustine Yellow Jackets football team who participated in 4 summer 7v7 scrimmages against Oak Leaf, Atlantic Coast, Clay, and Flagler Palm Coast High School’s, as well as the FHS7v7A Northeast Florida qualifying tournament at Matanzas High School (Palm Coast). St. Augustine High School Quarterback Austin Reed participated in each of the 7v7 tournaments and successfully finished Summer play without throwing one interception. Good luck to the entire St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets Football Team on the 2016 season.
