St. Thomas Aquinas Stumbles In Regular Season Finale, 42-38

By Dave Brousseau * BCAA Writer

FORT LAUDERDALE – The St. Thomas Aquinas football team learned a hard-fought lesson in their 42-38 loss to American Heritage on Friday.

If the Raiders (7-3) want to extend their state record of five consecutive state championships and 25 straight playoff victories, they’ll need to perform better, especially on defense.

The three regular season losses tied for the most since the 2013 season.

”Need to reflect what exactly what we need to improve on.” said St. Thomas Aquinas coach Roger Harriott. “The most obvious thing is we just didn’t finish, and they did.

We’ve got to move forward. Our losses have been frustrating, and it’s been tough to digest. We need to make the necessary corrections.”

The Patriots (5-4) victory was the first over the Raiders after three previous all-time meetings.

American Heritage led 21-17 at the half following a 15-yard scoring pass from Dia Bell to Malachi Toney and a Nicholas Romero 38-yard field goal for Aquinas.

Bell, a University of Texas commit, would prove too much for the Raiders defense to handle. He completed 19 of 22 passing attempts for 266 yards and three touchdowns, while rushing for 117 yards on just eight carries and another score for the Patriots.

Senior running back Byron Lewis added 141 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns, including an 80-yard reception and another touchdown. Toney had nine catches for 124 yards and a pair of touchdowns

Overall, the Raiders defense allowed 567 yards in the loss.  

Andrew Indorf also had a strong performance for the Raiders, finishing 26 of 42 for 315 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. He also rushed for 34 yards on six carries and a touchdown.

“We were sloppy on the offensive side of the ball and we can win games like that,” said Indorf. “No team that we have played has been better than us. We haven’t played our best game yet.”

Indorf also moved closer to the Raiders all-time career passing record. His 4670 yards is 282 yards short of surpassing the all-time Raiders record of 4951 set by Zion Turner (2019-21)

Sophomore wide receiver Julius Jones Jr. caught seven passes for 97 yards and a pair of second half touchdowns.

For the first time in 88 games that the Aquinas defense allowed 40 plus points in a loss and most allowed since a 43-27 loss to Miami Central in 2018.

The regular season loss was the first since winning six straight last game of regular season. The last loss was a 44-27 to Miramar in 2017.

Week 10 – Plantation American Heritage Faces Another Major Challenge Tonight

When it comes to putting together one of the top football schedules in the state of Florida, nobody comes close to what head coach Mike Smith and his Plantation American Heritage Patriots have done this season.

With a gauntlet that included Milton, Georgia (8-0), Chaminade-Madonna (7-2), Naples (7-1), Miami Central (7-1) and Miami Norland (6-2), the challenge has been weekly and could be the reason why this program sits at 4-4 coming into tonight’s contest.

This evening’s game against state-rated No. 3 Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas brings in a 7-2 mark and adds to a 42-8 record against six opponents. The four losses have come by a total of 20 points!

The Raiders and head coach Roger Harriott are certainly poised to win an amazing sixth straight state title, and like No. 6 American Heritage, their two losses have come by one touchdown to No. 4 nationally rated Las Vegas Bishop Gorman and fellow national power Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna.

Unbeaten Piper Has Huge District Test Against Monarch Tonight

When the 2024 season began, there were a few teams you could have picked to be unbeaten going into Week 10. Most likely, the Piper Bengals was not one of those programs.

What Quentin Short and his staff have done in the two seasons since coming over from Parkland Douglas is impressive – to say the least.

When his No. 10 and 7-0 team squares off with No. 16 Coconut Creek Monarch (4-3) tonight (7:00) at Coconut Creek High School, a District 13-6A title will be at stake, and even more important, the continuation of an unbeaten season.

While the detractors will scream that this program hasn’t played the schedule that Monarch and some other teams in south Florida have played, the very fact that everyone they’ve lined up against on their schedule, this team has beaten.

While Piper has enjoyed success in the first nine weeks of the season, the Knights have had a much different road with Georgia’s Peachtree Ridge in the Broward County National Football Showcase, Sanford Seminole (near Orlando), and area powers Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna and Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas as major obstacles.

Those losses and a challenging schedule have grown this program up fast under head coach Calvin Davis. The reality that the Knights have been tested certainly gives them a huge advantage, but this is football and yes – anything can happen.

The objective for this program, heading into the season, was to take things one step further than 2023 when the lost to Jacksonville Mandarin in the state semifinals.

This is one of the best games in the area. One that the Broward County Athletic Association (BCAA) should be proud of having this Thursday.

Five Miami-Dade & Broward Prospects To Keep An Eye On

When it comes to recruiting prospects, colleges and universities across the country never stop evaluating and watching football talent in every class.

Many years ago, when the football season came to an end, recruiting was put on hold until spring. No longer.

Recruiting all classes 365 days a year is the landscape we are living in these days.

As the current senior class is certainly in the spotlight, juniors (2026), sophomores (2027) and freshmen are getting plenty of attention as college coaches build their database in this competitive world of trying to bring athletes onto their campus.

As we get the opportunity to see so many football players live, it gives us a huge advantage of seeing some of the best current and future talents, playing in some key games against quality talent that Miami-Dade and Broward Counties have long produced.

Today, we look at five local prospects who are turning heads and grabbing attention from fans, high school coaches, recruiting services and colleges from all over the nation.

2025 – Roderick “R.J.” Boynton, OLB/SS, 5-10, 185, Miami Gulliver Prep. When watching this talented prospect play, the first thing you notice is his ability to make plays. Among the state’s leaders in tackles, here is a gifted student/athlete that continues to keep the Raiders in games with his ability to contain the running games as well as the passing attack – from either the secondary or as an outside linebacker. In addition to his play on the football field, his 3.4 grade point average in the classroom is also quite impressive for college coaches who continue to watch his progress.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/15203846/RJ-BOYNTON

2025 – Adrian Farrow, DL, 6-4, 250, Miami Norland. While so many prospects continue to receive attention for the play on the defensive line, this may be the true heart and soul for a Vikings’ defense that is one of the best in Florida. He is quick off the ball and creates mismatches up front against any offensive line like he has for the past two years. An FAU commitment, this is a difference maker that also gets it done in the classroom (3.0 GPA), adding to what he brings to the table. Continue to keep an eye on this big-time player!

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/17641726/Adrian-Farrow

2027 – Anthony Jennings III, WR/Athlete, 6-0, 165, Fort Lauderdale Dillard. From the time he stepped on the field a year ago during his freshman season there was no doubt that this was a special prospect. He is skilled and instinctive as a football player who combines his many talents with 10.8 (100 meters) speed. Whether as a receiver or a kick returner, he is someone you need to continue to watch as one of the top prospects in his class.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/18231676/Anthony-Jennings-III

2027 – Nicholas Lennear, WR/Athlete, 5-10, 165, Miami Northwestern. Fron youth football straight to the varsity level, here is one of the top prospects in the nation. His ability to make big time catches against elite defensive backs has some of the top programs watching his progress every game. He is not only a game-breaking receiver, but as a kick returner Lennear has shown that he can turn a game around in an instant. One of the major talents in this country. 

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/19539314/Nicholas-Lennear

2026 – Omari McNeal, QB, 6-0, 155, Pompano Beach Blanche Ely. Make no mistake here is a major talent in the junior class. Someone who is already considered as one of Florida’s fast rising talents who just doesn’t get it done at camps and combines in a T-shirt and shorts, but his play in important game conditions has drawn praise from opponents and college coaches who continue to watch him raise the bar. He is indeed a catalyst who has helped the Tigers remain in the mix for post-season play. His work in the classroom is also an enhancement during the recruiting process.
