Team Twitter account: @STA_FootballOutlook: There's little to dislike about this Aquinas team, which is loaded on both lines and teems with elite skill players and a quarterback that the staff loves. This team is willing to play anyone, as evinced by an opening game with American Heritage (ranked sixth nationally). In 2014, the Raiders have an extremely high ceiling.
