The Power Of St Thomas Aquinas High School Football Team

By Jana Serrano


Football has been long hailed as the most favorite sport to watch. Reunions, traditions, and barbecue parties have been arranged to gather folks of like minds and hearts to hopefully witness the glorious victory in this testosterone driven game. This sport begins in the high school level, but mind you, these kids are not to be taken lightly. One of the most recognized institutions for their football players and their overall athletic program is St Thomas Aquinas High School.

This game requires extensive training to maximize chances of winning and minimize the dangerous consequences of errors in this full contact sport. The number of students who participate have grown quite fast and they all have the passion and competitive edge to become champions. The Raiders, which is the St Thomas Aquinas High School football team, have won almost a hundred trophies.

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.

Team sports are the best avenues for learning fantastic social skills as they provide a relatively safe simulation of what do during tough situations. One such setup can be found in schools during Physical Education classes and extra curricular activities that give students a chance at joining varsity teams and compete with other schools.

Like everyone else, these players are not perfect. Despite all their victories, they have also admitted to certain areas of improvement in their game play and attitude as a whole. Some verbalized about their complacency and arrogance, specifically in their game against another group early in the season back in 2014. Later on they realized that they have to be more focused and not to take anyone for granted. Such change in behavior paid off and has kept them at the top of the game 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.

The Raiders have been through ups and downs, just like everyone else. It goes without saying that they too faced their own weaknesses and bounced right back. With the help of their mentors and the support of the entire school, their players have learned valuable lessons, survived, and prospered season after season of hardcore full contact games.

People have regarded The Raiders to be one of the best. They are deemed as good models for other youth players and are idolized by so many. Their fan base extends from students to older adults, and may have very well been responsible for initiating plenty of non football fanatics into the fold.

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.
