Eight public high schools in St. Johns County. Six entered a calendar. Two did not.
The six calendars carry 76 events. Every one is football.
Creekside, Beachside, Ponte Vedra, Bartram Trail, Menendez and Nease each keep a 2026-27 athletic calendar in the system their own athletics pages use, and every event any of the six has entered is a football game.
Of those 76, 27 games have already been played.
Not one carries a score.
That is the record. What follows is the schedule.
Friday, Sept. 11
Three home games. All at 7 p.m. All district.
| School | Opponent | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Nease | Mandarin | Home |
| Creekside | Tocoi Creek | Home, 100 Knights Lane, St. Johns |
| Beachside | Ponte Vedra | Home, 200 Great Barracuda Way, St. Johns |
St. Augustine is at Middleburg. Not off a calendar. It comes off the Jackets’ own weekly schedule graphic for Sept. 7-13, posted on the school’s athletics page, and the graphic gives no kickoff time.
Bartram Trail’s calendar has nothing Friday. Neither does Menendez’s.
Bartram Trail’s next posted varsity game is Sept. 18 at Creekside. Menendez has no varsity date until Oct. 9.
Two of those three home games are also the away game for a county school. Ponte Vedra fans are driving. So are Tocoi Creek’s.
Ponte Vedra’s own calendar does not list the trip. Neither does Tocoi Creek’s. Tocoi Creek does not have one.
Thursday belongs to the JV
Ponte Vedra hosts Beachside at the Shark Tank, 460 Davis Park Rd. Games at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. Two games. Same night. Same two schools.
Beachside’s calendar lists only the 7:30.
Schools here field more than one JV squad. St. Augustine’s weekly graphic names two of the Jackets’ by color, JV Football Gold is at Clay on Thursday and JV Football Maroon plays Bartram Trail, and Creekside’s entry for an August JV game carries the note “This is the JV Black Team.”
Nobody covers any of these.
Every one of them is a full roster of kids playing a full game.
The one school with anything but football posted
Nease runs its own site, and its schedule carries the rest of the athletic department.
- Wednesday, 4 p.m., girls golf at Bartram Trail
- Thursday, 7 p.m., girls volleyball at Menendez
- Thursday, time TBA, boys golf at Christ’s Church Academy
- Saturday, time TBA, boys and girls cross country, away
- Tuesday, Sept. 15, 7 p.m., girls volleyball home against Ridgeview
Sixteen volleyball, golf, cross country and swimming dates between Wednesday and Sept. 19, from one school.
The other seven schools’ calendars carry none.
That is not because those teams are not playing.
Two blank calendars
St. Augustine’s athletics page has a calendar tab. Ask it for the 2026-27 school year and it returns nothing. Ask it for 2025-26 and it returns 403 events.
Tocoi Creek’s athletic calendar page is a heading and a street address. Ask the same system for 2026-27 and it returns nothing. Ask for 2025-26 and it returns 526 events.
Both schools used the system last year.
Neither has this year’s season in it.
St. Augustine has the workaround. The weekly graphic on the athletics home page is current, it is legible, and it tells you where the Jackets are Friday.
The Toros do not. The county’s best available answer for Tocoi Creek this week is somebody else’s calendar, and the Toros appear on Creekside’s, as the visitors, at 7 p.m.
What is not in any of it
The system that six of these schools use has a field for score, a field for home score, a field for opponent score and a field for result.
All four are empty on all 27 completed games.
The Tattler can tell you that Beachside opened Aug. 20 with two JV games at home against Ribault and Paxon, and that the varsity went to the Kennel the next night.
It cannot tell you what happened at any of them.
Times, sites and opponents above are as posted. High school football schedules move. Check the school before you drive.
