St. Augustine was able to sneak by Matanzas by a goal in the district final after beating them soundly in the regular season then pulled off probably the biggest upset of the first round of the FHSAA bracket by taking down Lake Mary and then went on to a respectable showing against Ponte Vedra in the 2nd round so there’s a lot to build off of for the program.
