St Augustine

Recommended Posts

Let's look at this for a moment 

 

4 straight losses all to teams that if i saw correctly has been owned by St Augustine from a historic perspective 

 

Bartram Trail  first ever win over St Augustine 

 

Ponte Vedra  First ever win over St Augustine 

 

Menendez first ever win over St Augustine 

 

 

Is this just a off year or has time finally caught up with St Augustine and we are now seeing a program that was once one of the best in the state and even up to last year were serious contenders, are they now in decline? 

 

Would like to hear some thoughts from people out there on this

I don't know anything from an insider's perspective on this program. But I, too, am surprised and disappointed by their big decline. Has the coaching staff turned over? Are other schools taking their talent? There has to be some reason this has happened. 

Well I'll respond to the only thing i can truly speak on

 

Their legendary coach retired after the 2014 season but they promoted from within if my memory serves me correctly so i wouldn't say coaching turnover so it probably is one of the other things

 

@Jags904 ik St Augustine a bit south of you but do you know what going on over there?

I did hear on Friday night blitz last night they are apparently on their 4th qb this year 

 

That could explain a lot with the struggles but not explain how St Augustine wouldn't have a qb ready to go

I’m very familiar with the 904 as a whole. The problem is they graduated like 18 starters and 32 guys who got significant playing time. They have also had some bad injuries and have had to start a QB who can’t make the throws, as almost any team would have to on QB #4. They’ve also got a really talented freshman group, like seriously talented. 

Im not concerned about the program at all. They will be fine, they got a good head coach and a great system from pop warner on up. Bad luck has caused this year to be a bad one for them but they will be fine. Look for them to return to final four contention next year.

This is just how high school football is for most teams. on a "down year" for some schools it might be a 9-1 or 10-0 regular season with second round playoff loss. Other teams it might be a 6-4 or 7-3 regular season with a first round playoff loss. The next year the same team in both circumstances could be in the semis or state finals. Only a handful of teams in this state have consistent 9-1 or 10-0 regular seasons with 3rd round through state finals playoff runs every year.

That’s the thing about St Aug. They are one of those teams who have consistent 9-1 or 10-0 regular seasons and make deep playoff runs every year.

The following was posted on Flavarsity by the fingertips of "307Mac" a lifelong St Augustine resident/fan, and yearly member of a group of us who attended the high school football championships in Orlando.   

"Missing is St.Augustine ,I hate to say it but we might not be a obstacle for any panhandle team making it to the semifinals ,we have a really young team and quit a few injuries ,we probably still can win our district ,but may not be good enough this year to make it past the 1st or second rd,but the future is bright and we should be ok next year or 2020".

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
