The Visiting Side

St. Augustine wins 55-0 at Ridgeview and is 7-0

Two county teams shut an opponent out and both did it by more than six touchdowns. Bartram Trail beat Beachside 33-26 in the only all-county game. Nease won at Fletcher by four. Menendez and Ponte Vedra lost at home. The two games this paper reported as unresolved on Friday are final now, and the scoreboard still dates them a day before the schools do.

Correction · 2026-10-13 This story said the next widest margin on the county board after the two shutouts was Tocoi Creek's twenty-one points. It was Mandarin's twenty-four at Ponte Vedra, 34 to 10, which is on the same seven-game board and is listed in this story. Tocoi Creek's twenty-one is the widest by a county team after the two shutouts, which is not what the sentence said. Every score, record, venue and ranking in the story is unchanged and matches the scoreboard it was read off. Two other things were put right in the same sitting. This story said it was listing the games visitor first and then listed Creekside, the home team, ahead of Atlantic Coast; the line now reads visitor first like the other six, and no score or record moved. The St. Augustine line now also says whose Panther Stadium it was. Two schools on this board play at a field by that name, Ridgeview's and the one Nease plays in. The line already named Ridgeview and the list is visitor first, so it was readable before; naming the field outright is a clarification and not a correction of anything.

St. Augustine 55, Ridgeview 0.

Two county teams shut somebody out in week eight and both did it by more than six touchdowns. Those are the two widest margins on the county board. The next one is the twenty-four Mandarin put on Ponte Vedra, and the widest by a county team after the two shutouts is Tocoi Creek’s twenty-one. The seven scores all of it comes out of are below.

Seven games had a county team in them. Five county wins.

Here they are, visitor first, records as the scoreboard carries them.

St. Augustine (7-0) 55, Ridgeview (1-6) 0. Panther Stadium, Ridgeview’s and not the one Nease plays in. The same board ranks St. Augustine tenth in the state.

Atlantic Coast (0-7) 0, Creekside (5-2) 46, at Creekside High School Stadium.

Bartram Trail (6-1) 33, Beachside (3-3) 26. Barracuda Stadium. The only all-county game on the card.

Nease (4-3) 31, Fletcher (4-3) 27. Jack Taylor Stadium. Four points, and both teams came out of it at 4-3.

Tocoi Creek (2-5) 27, First Coast (1-6) 6, at Buccaneer Field.

Mandarin (6-1) 34, Ponte Vedra (2-5) 10, at the Shark Tank.

Palatka (3-4) 12, Menendez (3-4) 0, at Veterans Stadium.

Two of those are still dated Thursday.

On Friday this paper reported that the scoreboard had Atlantic Coast at Creekside marked final, 46 to 0, before the listed kickoff, and had Bartram Trail at Beachside stopped in the third quarter under the words STATUS UNKNOWN.

Both are settled now. Creekside’s score did not move off 46-0. Beachside had 19 when the page froze and finished with 26, and Bartram Trail went from 0 to 33.

The dates did not settle. The scoreboard still carries both games as Oct. 8. Creekside, Beachside and Bartram Trail all still carry them on their own athletic calendars as Oct. 9 at seven o’clock, and none of the three has changed it since Friday. MaxPreps dates the Beachside game Thursday and the Creekside game Friday, so the two outside outlets do not agree with each other either.

Nothing this paper can reach says which day the ball was kicked.

The Tattler was not at any of these games. Every score, record, venue and ranking above is off FloridaHSFootball.com’s week 8 scoreboard.
