The St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets JV Football Team easily handles the Nease HS Panthers 41-6

On Thursday, October 2nd, the St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets Junior Varsity Football Team visited the Nease High School Panthers in a district rivalry game.  The game was dominated by both the offensive and defensive units for the Jackets.  The offense started their first drive with two passes accounting for 75 yards, ending in a three yard run by running back Varius Woodard, #4.  A little later after the Jackets offense failed to convert on a 4th down play, the Panthers got their only score of the game on missed coverage on a Post pattern by the slot receiver, down the middle of the field.  The extra point attempt was failed.

The rest of the game was dominated by the St. Augustine High School Jackets defense, who held the Nease Panthers Football Team scoreless through the remaining three quarters.  On offense, running backs Varius Woodard, #4 (2 TD’s), Martrel Storey, #9, and Nick Lawler, #15, all scored on rushing touchdowns to increase the halftime lead to 28-6.  The second half started with a sustained Jackets offensive drive, capped off by a 40 yard touchdown pass from Austin Reed, #7, to Karim Brown, #8.  The final touchdown of the game was scored by running back Clay Shaw to end the game 41-6 and improve the St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets JV record to 5-0 on the season.

Yellow Jackets Quarterback Austin Reed, #7, had another successful night leading the Jackets offense completing 9 of 14 passes (65%) for 181 yards and 1 touchdown.  The next game for the Yellow Jackets is their Homecoming game against the Matanzas High School Pirates, being played on Wednesday, October 8th @ 6:30 p.m. at Brumley Stadim at St. Augustine High School.
