This Wednesday (April 8th), the St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets boys lacrosse team enter into the District Playoffs with a 10-7 record (4-0 in District play) finishing as the 1st seed from the regular season District play.  It has been a fun season of lacrosse for Austin Reed, #27, and all of his Jackets teammates.  After experiencing a very strong 8-2 start to the season the Jackets have lost 5 of their last 7 games to finish the regular season at 10-7.  Many injuries to key players and a very strong schedule against teams like Ponte Vedra, Fleming Island, and Nease High School’s, all contributed to the tough end of the regular season.  The Jackets look forward to great play and enthusiasm to win a District title this week.

Austin Reed, #27, has enjoyed playing in the long-pole defensive backfield position and experiencing the fast pace, strength and skill level of the Varsity season.

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.
