ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.- Needing just one win to close the book on the regular season with an undefeated record, No. 7 St. Augustine<\/a> would need to hold off Class 6A state title contender Mandarin<\/a> on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Coming down to the final minutes of the game, the Mustangs would receive a 23-yard go-ahead touchdown run from Shaunqueze Foster as they spoiled the Yellow Jackets\u2019 hopes of a unbeaten season in a 27-21 win at Foots Brumley Stadium.<\/p>\n

Both teams came blow for blow throughout the night, which towards the end got pretty chippy between the two Northeast Florida powerhouses.<\/p>\n

Though all of the attention by St. Augustine\u2019s secondary was given to 2028 four-star wide receiver Brysen Wright<\/a> (four catches, 73 yards), it would be his teammate, Tian Wyche, shining brightest on the dais. Wyche finished the night hauling in four passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

It was Foster who broke the ice on the scoring, going right up the middle of the Yellow Jackets\u2019 defense on a 7-yard run and a 7-0 lead in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

St. Augustine (9-1) would answer later in the period when Nate Preston bullied his way through to tie the game up at 7-all. Just a few minutes later, Mandarin (9-1) would reclaim the lead when Knox Annis<\/a> connected with Wyche on a short screen pass that the wide receiver took 48 yards to the endzone, giving the Mustangs a 14-7 lead.<\/p>\n

Just before intermission, the Yellow Jackets would tie things up when quarterback Brenton James found a wide open Somourian Wingo<\/a> (Miami commit) on a 17-yard touchdown pass to tie things up. Wingo finished the with four catches for 93 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

St. Augustine took a 21-14 lead into the fourth quarter and with 5:29 remaining, Annis would connect with Wyche on a 24-yard touchdown to tie the game up at 21-all.<\/p>\n

After Foster\u2019s touchdown run<\/a> that gave Mandarin the lead, St. Augustine got one more opportunity on offense but couldn\u2019t get anything going on their final series.<\/p>\n
