Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, St. Thomas Aquinas should expect quite the challenge on Friday. They will be defending their home turf for the first time when they go up against Catholic - N.I. at 7:00 PM. Given their recent losses, both teams have a little extra motivation heading into this weekend.
If St. Thomas Aquinas were riding high off their 49-12 takedown of The Church Academy two weeks ago, that ride came to an abrupt end. St. Thomas Aquinas fell to Episcopal 21-28.
Meanwhile, Catholic - N.I. took their matchup against St. Louis Catholic last week by a conclusive 42-14 score. With Catholic - N.I. ahead 28-0 at the half, the game was all but over already.
Catholic - N.I.'s victory lifted them to 2-0 while St. Thomas Aquinas's defeat dropped them down to 1-1. We'll see if Catholic - N.I.'s success rolls on or if St. Thomas Aquinas are able to steal their positive momentum.
