By Santiago Martinez-Caro | gargoyle@flagler.edu

The Flagler College men’s tennis team season has not been as successful this season as many expected. Though the team is very talented, and will have great runs in the future, their inexperience has put them through some tough times this year.

This weekend the team traveled to South Carolina to play against No. 10 Lander. After a rain delay Flagler College was defeated with an overall score of 5-1. With this defeat, Flagler College fell to a 5-9 overall and a 2-4 in conference play.

Gently removing rubble around it, he finds that it is packed with C-4 explosives.

By Marissa Marinan | gargoyle@flagler.edu

Home Again St. Johns Inc., a group that works to assist those without homes, is hoping to change the way St. Johns County and the city of St. Augustine deals with homelessness.

Homeless individuals are found sleeping on the sea wall at night, sitting on St. George Street and seeking shelter in the woods.

“[St. Johns County] has records that there are anywhere from 500-800 homeless people in the county including women, children and veterans,” City of St. Augustine Vice Mayor Leanna Freeman said.
