St. Augustine QB 'got into a zone' in against a state runner-up, and this was the result

St. Augustine scored eight touchdowns on offense and one on special teams on the way to defeating Cecilia 58-34 in a quickly scheduled game between the schools in Week 2.

Junior quarterback Vershaun Coulon threw four touchdown passes and rushed for two scores as Keith Hill and Ray'Quan Wiliams each reached the end zone twice.

Hill rushed for two scores that put St. Augustine ahead 13-0. Coulon's first scoring pass made the score 20-0. From there, the signal caller made the most of his passing and rushing chances as he completed 12 of 15 passes for 297 yards and rushed five times for 42 yards.

"He got into a zone and kind of stunned them a little bit," St. Augustine coach Robert Valdez said.

St. Augustine led 33-7 before halftime. But after Cecilia cut the lead to 45-34 in the third quarter, Williams ran back a kickoff for a touchdown that made the score 52-34 after the two-point conversion.

Wiliams was among the four players to catch a touchdown pass from Coulon. Senior Lejon Moore and sophomores Miguel Whitley and Vershaun Simms caught the other three scoring passes.

Takeaways on defense by Warren Roberts (fumble recovery) and Frederick Lewis (interception) set up the first two St. Augustine scores.

St. Augustine and Cecilia played two days after their previously scheduled opponents canceled in the wake of Hurricane Francine. Cecilia was the Division II nonselect state runner-up last season.
