The St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets beat Baker County in the 2015 Season Opener:

On Friday, August 28th, the St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets Varsity Football team began their 2015 regular season at home against the Baker County Wildcats, in a game that experienced a one hour rain delay towards the end of the second half, due to a passing storm.  During the game, starting Jackets quarterback Cole Northrup connected with wide receiver David Kra for two touchdowns (23 and 27 yards) and ran for another on a QB sneak from the 1 yard line.  While running back Jarel James added another touchdown in the game on a 2 yard run.  Jahquise Russell ran for 176 yards in the game while kicker Brad Meeks went 1 for 2 kicking on field goals.

St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets backup quarterback Austin Reed, #14, made his regular season Varsity debut entering the game in the 4th quarter.  Starting the drive with two consecutive running plays, one for a loss of 5 yards, Austin and the Jackets were quickly faced with a 3rd down and 15 situation from the 50 yard line.  The third down conversion was successful as Austin completed a beautiful fade route to his receiver EJ Eldridge, #18, that picked up 23 yards and a Jackets first down.  The drive finally ended after 4 consecutive running plays failed to pick up a needed first down.  The Yellow Jackets went on to win the game by a final of 29-7 and start the season 1-0.  The next game for the St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets is away on Friday (9/4) against their cross town rivals, the Pedro Menendez High School Falcons.
