The Power Of St Thomas Aquinas High School Football Team

By Jana Serrano


Football is undoubtedly the most popular sport in the United States. It is by far the most watched event in the entire nation, bringing together multitudes of people from all walks of life. This creates a friendly, testosterone driven atmosphere filled with shouts and cheers for their bets to win.

This can be applicable to sports as well. Such is the case of St Thomas Aquinas High School Football Team for constantly winning games in every state. Some may call it luck, but this group of gifted individuals have the skills to win even if it is against destiny itself.

Let us learn from their secret formula. The institution has an impeccable tradition when it comes to their athletic program. They have the top mentors in the United States and this institution maintains their reputation in field of sports and academics. They now hold the position as the top high school program in the country. For each sport they have, especially in football where they build up The Raiders, they always aim for the best.

They especially have great chemistry on defense that makes them play so well. Their defense would simply not permit a touchdown from their opponents. With its multitude of state championships won and college athletes produced, it is of no surprise that their team would also come out the best and toughest in the sports arena.

Such sports that students participate in are practically considered simulations in which the teen develops quick decision making skills, empathy, proper conduct, respect, and most especially teamwork. This has been incorporated by St Thomas Aquinas into their students and has long since benefited from the positive results of their athletic programs ever since.

St Thomas coach Rocco Casullo himself has verbalized how proud he is of the guys on the offense, defense, and special teams. He mentioned that they put it all together after their previous loss. This shows resilience which makes them very admirable and popular.

Different opponents have always tried relying on pushing the Aquinas defense to no avail. The Raiders simply would not allow it and keep stopping their run. As effective as their defenses, their offense is also as powerful with a number of touchdowns. Ultimately, this has secured them at the highest pedestal of youth sports.

The team showed humility when they admitted certain areas of their behavior and attitude they could improve on to make them more effective. In the previous season, they stated that due to complacency, they have been defeated. This type of arrogance has no room in their group and is being addressed appropriately by their coach. With much discussion and further training, the group recovered and won yet another trophy in their latest battle on the football field.

The Raiders took on the challenge of football as high school kids. That alone is a great inspiration for people to have more confidence in themselves and at least have a shot of pursuing their passion, may it be sport or another endeavor. It may be just a game to some, but to others it is a life changing and enlightening path to discover your capabilities and test your limits. This true test of character and resilience among the youth has been definitely proven by the St Thomas Aquinas Football Team.
