The St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets varsity team finishes up the 2015 football season:
This is the final football post for the 2015 St. Augustine High School Yellow Jackets football team and quarterback Austin Reed’s (#14) first season as a sophomore player on the varsity team. The Jackets closed out the year with a 66-28 win over their long time rivals the Palatka High School Panthers on November 6th. The win gave the Jackets a 9-1 (3-1 district) record entering the Regional playoffs as the #2 seed team from District 6A-4. The Regional quarterfinal playoff game took place on November 13th, at the Niceville High School Eagles football stadium. The game resulted in a 20-3 loss for the Yellow Jackets ending their season to finish 9-2.
Serving as a back up quarterback to the Yellow Jackets starter, quarterback Austin Reed (14) had several opportunities of play time during the 12 games throughout the season, including the Kickoff Classic in late August. Several of the drives that Austin quarterbacked resulted in additional scoring for the team, and a load of experience at the varsity level for him. Austin was also brought in to hold the ball for the kicker on extra-points and field goal attempts during the Regional quarterfinal game.
