It was a tough night for area soccer teams in the state playoffs. With the exception of both the boys and girls teams at St. Johns Country Day, and a pair of St. Johns County powers, Bartram Trail and Ponte Vedra, the other four area teams bowed out in the state semifinals. The boys team blanked St. Edward’s 4-0, and the girls dynasty routed Geneva 8-0. On the boys side, Bolles lost 8-1 to Tampa Catholic in Class 3A, and Tampa Jesuit beat Stanton 1-0 in 5A.

The 57-acre property is on the Intracoastal Waterway immediately adjacent to the State Road 312 bridge onto Anastasia Island. The Land Trust said Fish Island is a healthy maritime hammock forest and preserving it will help avoid water quality impacts to the Matanzas River. North Florida Land Trust is urging the community to show support for the protection of Fish Island, an environmentally sensitive and historically significant land, prior to the cabinet's July 23 meeting in Tallahassee. Recently the St. Augustine commissioners voted unanimously to approve management of Fish Island if the state agrees to buy the property. The NFLTs posted information on its campaign to preserve Fish Island on its website.
