Who Will Win This Matchup?
This game is a classic David vs. Goliath story in the world of Florida high school football. St. Thomas Aquinas, a perennial powerhouse, comes into this game as the overwhelming favorite. They are currently ranked as the #2 team in Florida and are a national contender.5 The Raiders are on a three-game winning streak and have been dominating their opponents since a season-opening loss to nationally-ranked Mater Dei (CA).6
McArthur, while a solid team, faces a significant challenge. The Mustangs have a respectable record but are not in the same league as St. Thomas Aquinas. The Raiders’ roster is stacked with top-tier talent, and their program has a long history of success, including a record-breaking six consecutive state championships.7
Based on current rankings, team performance, and historical dominance, St. Thomas Aquinas is heavily favored to win this game. They are expected to be in “cruise control” for this matchup, and anything other than a decisive victory would be a major upset.8
