Assuming the Ironmen survive their test with Gilman in Week 1, they will receive a big threat to their long winning streak when they travel to play Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale. Don Bosco Prep enters the season with 46 straight wins and six straight Non-Public section championships in New Jersey. The losses are heavy for the Ironmen, as eight Division I prospects have graduated and another potential Division 1 prospect, Jabril Peppers, has transferred. Aquinas lost three times last year (10-3), but it returns 12 starters including Division 1 prospects
John O'Korn at quarterback and
Fred Coppet at running back.
Joey Bosa, a 6-5, 270-pound defensive end, is the top Raider prospect.
