Can Miramar pull an upset against St. Thomas Aquinas for the third-straight year? The Patriots have been a thorn in Aquinas' side since a 2011 loss that happened when it was defending national champion and ranked as high as No. 2 in the country. Now, again, the Raiders are riding high following two impressive wins to start the season: a 38-3 rout of Miami Northwestern and last week's 27-13 win against defending national champ John Curtis (River Ridge, La.). Miramar (3-0) is also unbeaten, but was plagued by 12 penalties in its 28-14 win against Plantation last Thursday.
Just the facts: St. Thomas Aquinas alumni have won one Olympic gold medal (Sanya Richards-Ross), 18 grand slam tennis titles (Chris Evert), one professional golf major (Jason Duffner) and have been a part of three Super Bowl and one World Series championship teams (Michael Irvin and Tyler Greene). … Before its current two-game winning streak started against St. Thomas Aquinas, Miramar had lost to the Raiders four straight times by an average margin of 30 points.
