The 2008 Aquinas squad was a team without a weakness. Explosive
on offense and punishing on defense, the Raiders opened the season with
an 11-point victory on the road against Elder (Cincinnati) and won each subsequent
game by more than 20 points.
Quarterback
Ryan Becker had plenty of
offensive weapons at his disposal, including receivers
Duron Carter and
Dwayne Difton as well as running backs
Giovanni Bernard and
James White.
Led
by linebacker
Vincent Mauro and defensive back
Cody Riggs, there was no
shortage of talent on the defensive side of the ball either.
George Smith's squad capped off its perfect season with a stunning 56-7 drubbing of rival Lakeland.
