Notable wins: Atlantic Coast, Englewood, Fleming Island, Ponte Vedra, Stanton (twice).
Glance: The Mustangs were tested in a tough battle with No. 3 Bartram Trail, coming back from a 1-0 halftime deficit to draw 1-all with the Bears. They’ll go into the break unbeaten. They’ll get Nease in a return to action on Jan. 4. Antonio Mancinotti is the area’s top player (14 goals, 7 assists) and Adis Mesic (15 goals, 11 assists) continue to lead the Mustangs.
