Creekside tops Winter Springs, snaps 22-game losing streak | St. Augustine Record

J.T. Wood was a scrawny freshman sitting in the top of the stadium stands as a junior varsity player and spectator in 2014 the last time Creekside won a football game. On Friday, the senior shook off three years of frustration with two touchdown receptions and a decisive kickoff return score to lead Creekside to a 48-21 victory over Class 8A Winter Springs, ending the Jacksonville area’s longest losing streak at 22 games and starting a new tradition for the Knights.

With kickoff classics Friday night, football season is just around the corner | St. Augustine Record

CREEKSIDE

Tonight’s game: vs. Menendez, 7 p.m.

Knights will play: starters into the third quarter, primary backups into the fourth quarter, backups and some JV players to close out the game.

Keep an eye on: the Knights’ effort. Creekside won its spring game against Stanton in May, its only win of any sort since the 2014 season. Tonight, the Knights will be up against a more athletic squad in Menendez. “We want to see how much effort (our players show) and how willing they are going to be physical,” first-year coach Sean McIntyre said. “As long as we execute fundamentals and play with great effort, we’ll feel good about it.”

Season opener: Aug. 25 vs. Winter Springs.
