I'm confident that Coach A. knows that he has a group that can beat STA (knowing how good STA is every year). He wouldn't schedule this game just to get shellacked on national tv again. The kids just have to step up and do it. It's really simple🤣😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STAs is winless in its last three, significant OOS games outside the Southeast (DBP, BG, Cen10az). Outscored 61-31 and shutout in last game in AZ. Clobbered Dematha 38-0 who would have won the WCAC if not for a miracle Hail Mary. Maryland hardly in the Southeast. Unless you are talking about them being the away team. But even so what the hell does losing to a State Champ, a National Champ, and a game that no current coaches or players were involved with have anything to do with 2019? Spoiler alert. Nothing 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat a way down BG team at home by 6 points; they beat a 3-loss Clovis Buchanan team by 7; and they were fortunate to lose by only 14 to a Mater Dei team without arguably its best player. There were no wins that stand as particularly impressive for that DLS team. STA, on the other hand, put running clocks on Dematha, who lost by 6 points to St. John's and split with Gonzaga only because Gonzaga hit a miracle hail mary, and Deerfield Beach. I'd actually argue that the inverse is true: The argument that 2018 DLS was better than 2018 STA is only being made because Lakeland beat STA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Lakeland has a really good team that said, wouldn’t you agree that they aren’t keeping up with SOS with pretty much any top 25 team? if so, is it a mortal sin that any ranking/ rating/ tier sources will begrudge their adoration from Lakeland before others, sometimes even if they don’t run a clean schedule If you would have beaten sta the week after dematha you might have got some MNC love not necessarily fair, but it’s hard for Publics to get maybe their due all the time, especially until they play someone of note 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play several pretty good teams, but nobody figuring to be near elite status. I've heard an ESPN game fell through, and some big names turned them down, but idk. It does appear that there aren't very many nationally known options in the state for them to schedule that aren't already in their class as possible playoff opponents. You have the 3-4 Dade powers, a couple in Broward and...who else? I can't really think of any other FHSAA school they could play, not in 7A, that would get anyone here any more excited than Manatee and Kissimmee Osceola. So that leaves OOS games, and there are a lot of issues, namely $, that make that difficult. But, yes, given how stacked this 2019 team looks to be, I am a bit bummed with the schedule. My issues haven't been with them not getting MNC votes. The issue has been with them being ranked VERY low or not at all. The issue is the kinds of teams ranked ahead of them, especially in the oft-cited calpreps ratings. Just try and make the argument supporting Lakeland dropping 60+ spots and ending up behind the likes of Coatesville, Corona Del Mar, Nazareth Academy...I could go on. You can certainly argue, without any gripes from me, that whatever undefeated team wins CA Open game should be ranked ahead of Lakeland regardless of them being undefeated. But, DLS was not that team last season. Lakeland's weaker SOS makes their resume weaker, but does not make the actual team weaker. Meaning STA's loss to them doesn't mean DLS should be elevated over them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJC had some close calls against teams that weren't so hot either. BG, though not the BG of the 3-peat, was damn good and had the misfortune of opening up against a MD with a new qb and a lot of new pieces. You put that BG in Ga., or NJ last season, I bet you they win those states or at least get close. Dela hyper improved on offense last season, and by year's end they were a legit to 15 team. I don't know where STA finished, but Dela could've played with them.  3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLien12x Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Will be a very good game. St Thomas Aquinas is the more talented team and history has shown they perform a lot better in OOS matchups. Gotta roll with the Raiders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfaddict1 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Another Naples QB transfer to STA, 2022 class Dylan McNamara. Â Probably will see JV duty as a sophomore and then a go at the helm last 2 years (2nd from right). Â 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
