Tocoi Creek pulled off a stunner this week, absolutely taking down formerly-unbeaten Flagler Palm Coast 21-19! Seriously, who saw that coming? The Toros, sitting at a tough 1-5 record, absolutely came out firing, striking early and then holding on for dear life at the finish. FPC, previously undefeated at 4-1, scratched their way back into it, scoring in the final moments to get within two points, but the Toros defense, man, they dug deep and denied that two-point conversion try. That’s grit, pure and simple, and what a victory for Tocoi Creek, moving them to 1-1 in District 1-6A and shaking up everything we thought we knew about that district.
Undefeated Control and Sophomore Firepower
Meanwhile, St. Augustine is just flat-out dominating, staying perfect at 6-0 overall and 2-0 in District 4-4A. They are firmly in control, no question about it. Right from the jump, Robert Haney recovered a fumble on the first drive, and then Tray Campbell scooped it up and took it to the house for a scoop-and-score! That’s how you set the tone! Chance Carter was a beast on the ground, rushing for two touchdowns, and Mason Lynch’s sack set up Campbell’s big play. Even with Clay’s Landon Martin rushing for two late scores, St. Augustine just had too much firepower, rolling to a 37-13 win. Can anyone stop these guys?
And talk about a breakout performance from Bartram Trail! Sophomore QB Xander Camus was absolutely electric in their 34-16 win over Ponte Vedra. He rushed for a touchdown himself AND slung two more perfect passes to Cam Ganther and Brady Soares. Blake Soares also joined the party with a rushing score. This Bears team, now 5-1 and 1-1 in District 2-5A, is looking like they mean business with a talent like Camus at the helm. Don’t sleep on them.
Big Plays, Big Wins, and District Hopes Alive
Creekside is also making moves, staying atop District 1-6A after absolutely smashing Sandalwood 49-10. Davis Baldwin was unstoppable, rushing for three touchdowns before halftime! When you’re racking up scores like that, you know your team is dialed in. Broc Brinkley and Vincent Correale added late touchdowns, and Rozzi Sperry hit Timmy Goodrich for a TD pass. This Knights team is 4-2 overall and 2-0 in district play, and they are definitely a force.
Don’t forget Nease either. They kept their District 2-5A hopes alive with a huge 49-14 win over Beachside. Northwestern-committed quarterback Aiden Phifer was slinging it, hitting Jack Hoover, Chase Phifer, and Tyshawn Ford for touchdown passes. Nate Hodge ran for two more scores, and the defense was making noise too. Gage Wynne grabbed an interception, and Chase Bogle recorded two sacks, with Laquone Wilson laying down a big tackle on Beachside’s Baylor Riley. This Panthers team, now 2-3 and 1-1 in district, showed some serious fight! Menendez also took a big first step in District 4-3A with a 44-14 win over Wolfson, thanks to Jayden Roberts rushing for second-half touchdowns that put the game away.
What a week! Tocoi Creek gets a week off before playing First Coast on October 9. Can they keep that momentum going after such a huge upset? St. Augustine, meanwhile, also gets an extra week to rest up before they face Ridgeview, Orange Park, and Fleming Island. Are they truly unstoppable, or will one of those teams expose a weakness? We’re all watching to see what happens next!
