A week seven game against Legacy of Port St. Lucie kicks at 6 tonight, three days after Beachside played Fletcher and four days before it plays Westside at home. It is not a district game. The one place a parent would look for the date, the school's own athletic calendar on FHSAA Home Campus, carries the game on Oct. 1 and carries nothing at all on Oct. 26.
Five of the eight county schools won on Friday, and the two that lead a district are St. Augustine at 5-0 in 4A District 4 and Creekside at 5-0 in 6A District 1. St. Augustine has scored 369 and allowed 84. Beachside won by one at Fletcher, has lost every home game and won every road game but one, and is the only county school that has played eight games instead of nine. The ninth is tonight at 6 in Port St. Lucie, a week seven game being made up.
All eight county schools play on the week ten card and none is on the bye list. Five of the seven games are at a county school and all five kick at 7 p.m. The two that leave the county both kick at 6:30. St. Augustine is 8-0 and has given up 77 points all season. Records are as MaxPreps carries them on Oct. 23.
Houston 34, Jacksonville 31 at Wembley, and Houston gained fourteen more yards. Lawrence threw four touchdowns, which is what he threw in Week 1 when they won by twenty-four. The Jaguars are 4-2. A week earlier in the same city they outgained Philadelphia by 191 and won by two, which is the first time all year the yardage and the scoreboard agreed, and it lasted seven days.
Six of the eight St. Johns County public high school teams won Friday night. St. Augustine and Creekside are both 4-0 in district play and both sit first in their districts. Beachside is 3-4 overall and 0-4 in district, which is sixth in the same district Bartram Trail, Nease and Ponte Vedra play in.
Nease at Bartram Trail is the only all-county game on the week nine card, and both schools are in 5A District 2. Six of the seven games are at a county school. Every one of them kicks at 7 p.m. Records are as MaxPreps carries them on Oct. 15.
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.
FloridaHSFootball's week 8 page dates Atlantic Coast at Creekside to Thursday and marks it final, 46 to 0. Creekside's own calendar and MaxPreps both have it kicking off at seven tonight. The same page has Bartram Trail at Beachside stopped in the third quarter under the words STATUS UNKNOWN. And the Oct. 1 Beachside trip to Legacy, the one with no result anywhere, is now marked Postponed.
Seven games, one of them county against county at Beachside. St. Augustine carries the only unbeaten record in the county to Ridgeview, which is 1-5. Nease is the only 6:30 kickoff. Tocoi Creek's start time at First Coast, which two documents gave differently last week, is 7 p.m. on the school's own calendar and on MaxPreps.
Cincinnati gained 437 yards to Jacksonville's 323 and lost. That is the third game in a row Jacksonville has been outgained, by 124, then 2, then 114, and the record over that stretch is 2-1. Burrow threw for 428 and was intercepted twice. Lawrence threw for 227 and was not. Little kicked from 55, 28 and 54, which is nine of the twenty-two.
Two county teams played on Friday and FloridaHSFootball has both finals. Five more were on the week 7 bye list and did not play at all. Beachside played in Port St. Lucie on Thursday and two days later no outlet has published a score. All eight are back on Oct. 9, in seven games, and two documents disagree about one of the kickoffs.
Two of the eight public high school teams in St. Johns County kick off Friday night, both at 7. Bartram Trail, Creekside, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine and Tocoi Creek are on FloridaHSFootball's week 7 bye list. Beachside played Thursday at Legacy and no outlet has posted a result.
Jacksonville beat New England 35-6 while gaining two fewer yards than the team it beat by twenty-nine. Three giveaways did that, one of them handing over a field five yards long. Turnovers are the least repeatable thing in football, and Cincinnati is Sunday.
Nobody scored in the first quarter. Lawrence threw three touchdowns on 182 yards. Maye threw for 199 and was intercepted twice. The Jaguars are 2-1 and go to Cincinnati Sunday at 1.
St. Johns River State College has six home dates in the next week and 245 on its schedule. Two thirds of them are women playing. The Vikings are the only local program that runs into the spring, and the first column under this byline is about the byline.
All three Friday games were district and all three county teams that traveled or hosted won except Ponte Vedra, which lost the only all-county game of the night. Bartram Trail is 5-1. Next week Bartram Trail, Creekside, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine and Tocoi Creek are all on FloridaHSFootball's bye list, which leaves three county schools playing.
Four of the eight county schools played Thursday and all four games were district. St. Augustine is 6-0 and second in Class 4A on FloridaHSFootball's board. Tocoi Creek got its first win of the season. Creekside, Menendez and Ponte Vedra play tonight, and five county schools are on next week's bye list.
Jacksonville led 13-6 going into the fourth at Empower Field and lost it there. Lawrence went 17 of 29 for 189 yards with no touchdowns. Both teams are 1-1. New England at EverBank Stadium Sunday at 1.
St. Augustine is 5-0 and ranked 15th in the state on FloridaHSFootball's board. Tocoi Creek is 0-5. Nease was on a bye. Six district games land Thursday and Friday, and two of them are county against county.
Three varsity girls volleyball matches in the county tonight, two girls golf matches before them, and a week that runs to next Thursday. Twenty-two of this season's volleyball dates are two county schools playing each other. Ten are on both calendars. Twelve are on one.
Jacksonville 34, Cleveland 10. Lawrence went 18 of 23 and threw to Washington, Meyers, Strange and Cameron for scores. Cleveland took 11 penalties.
Six county schools have a game this week. Five agree with themselves about when. Beachside's own calendar says Friday, FloridaHSFootball says Thursday, and the Bartram Trail result two outlets could not agree on has now gone final on both.
The college's own ticket page says regular season admission is free to the general public for every sport except basketball. Ten home dates are left in September, at a gym on Granada Street and a field off Old Moultrie Road.
Four county teams have a final from Friday night and all four came from somewhere other than a school. The fifth, Bartram Trail at Fletcher, is a 30-7 loss on MaxPreps and a weather delay with no score on FloridaHSFootball. Bartram Trail's own calendar still has no game at all.
Five county teams play Friday, Menendez is on a bye, and one of the five games appears nowhere on either school's posted schedule. Two outside outlets carry it. Here is the whole slate, and last week's scores as somebody else reported them.
Two home games left for the Jumbo Shrimp, tonight and Saturday, and the club publishes its whole price ladder, top to bottom. The Jaguars open at home Sunday and publish no single-game price at all. Every number below came off the published pages.
Three home games Friday, all at 7 p.m., all district. Two of the county's eight public high schools have entered nothing for 2026-27. The system has a field for score. It is empty on all 27 games played.
The Jumbo Shrimp finish at VyStar on Saturday night. The Jaguars open against Cleveland at one o'clock Sunday. Every date, time and channel below comes from the two schedules.
