JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Miles Silva first picked up a lacrosse stick when he was 4 years old. Now, the former Ponte Vedra High School lacrosse star is embarking on a career in the sport after being selected in the Major League Lacrosse draft earlier this month. I didnt really think probably until the later years of high school that I was good enough to even play in college, he said. When Silva found out he was being selected he thought it was too good to be true. I didnt really believe it at first and it didnt sink in a little bit, he said.

911 callers thought ‘assassin’ game was a real threat

Read full article: 911 callers thought ‘assassin’ game was a real threat

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – Fear can be heard in the voices of several people who called 911 during a game called “assassin" that deputies said some Ponte Vedra High School students took to “potentially dangerous levels." I couldn’t tell you what they were, but they’re all involved in this game of capturing somebody or something.”Community members who called 911 found the game threatening and not funny. Ponte Vedra High school officials sent parents a message, which reads in part:“There is a high potential for things to go tragically wrong. The PVHS administration strongly recommends that students forgo their participation in this game and behavior." Communities such as Marsh Landing sent out notices to residents about the high school game, encouraging them to call the Sheriff’s Office to report any reckless behavior.

’Assassin’ game triggers chaos in Ponte Vedra

Read full article: ’Assassin’ game triggers chaos in Ponte Vedra

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – Ponte Vedra High School officials are encouraging students to stop participating in a highly-organized game called “assassin” after St. Johns County deputies said some of the participants took it to “potentially dangerous levels" this week. At first, the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office didn’t know what was going on Monday afternoon after school got out at Ponte Vedra High, but the “chaos” was the result of the “assassin" game getting a bit out of hand. The chairmen sent a message to the participants to follow the rules and tone it down, in addition to the letter that the high school sent to parents. We are referring to a game called “assassin” and it has been reported that more than 300 students are participating. Students are engaging in this game off campus and after school hours, NOT during the school day on school property.
