SEASON OUTLOOK

One could make the argument that Miramar, which has beaten Aquinas in consecutive seasons, is the toughest opponent on Aquinas' schedule. We'll go with defending national champion Curtis in a game that will be played in Louisiana.
Question mark: Will the team get steady play from the quarterback spot? O'Korn came up huge for the team down the stretch last season. Outstanding play behind center has been a hallmark of the Aquinas program. A leader needs to emerge for 2013.
Local outlook: Aforementioned Miramar will be difficult yet again. University, led by Aquinas alum Roger Harriott, is an emerging power. Over in Palm Beach County, Dwyer, which defeated Aquinas in the playoffs in 2011, looks to have more offensive skill players than it is accustomed to having.
Overall outlook: Aquinas is one of the nation's premier programs. After a disappointing 2011 and a slow start to 2012, it closed with an extremely impressive run to a state title. Now, as 2013 begins, it has the appearance of the Aquinas juggernaut of old.
Coach quote: "The spring was very competitive with many position battles. The intensity was great."
