This past weekend St. Augustine High School varsity quarterback Austin Reed attended the 2016 Tampa Bay Area Quarterback Challenge held at the University of Tampa by the DeBartolo Sports University and the Kaleo QB Academy. The Challenge included quarterbacks competing in their own grade for 8th – 11th graders in a series of technical tests that included drills measuring accuracy, long ball, escape throws, fade throws and a figure 8 footwork drill. The quarterbacks had a great time measuring their skills, meeting their peers from schools all over Florida, and learning from a very talented group of coaches.
