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.

The thing about this game or The Raiders or generally games like this is that there is this pure, unabashed joy of connecting with other fans and indulging in the revelry of rooting for their team to grab the coveted championship. Quite ironically, joining others in a festivity like this brings out not only the competitive nature in each of us. It also promotes a sense of brotherhood and camaraderie that facilitates excellent social relationships.

The Raiders, or the St Thomas Aquinas Team, are no new bloomers. They have claimed victory in numerous states and have proven their longevity in this sport. One good reason for this good chemistry among the players is that they show sincere love of the game and interacting with teammates.

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.

Their football team has conquered all known challenges facing high school teams anywhere and have collected close to a hundred trophies through the years. Quite proudly, the school also maintained a proper website for them. This shows the online world their victories and vast number of student players who turned into world class athletes by the time they graduated.

Many opponents are anxious to play against The Raiders. They have the dominating performance in every game which gives them a higher chance of yet grabbing another trophy. Their players are really fearless, smart, and surprisingly tough for high school students. They are faster and more experienced. Among their well known players are Michael Irvin, Leonard Hankerson, and Major Wright.

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 set the bar high with their stellar defense and unstoppable touchdowns. For them, it is a matter of doing what is needed to be done. The manner of execution is incomparable and this team is almost unbeatable. If there are loopholes in their techniques, they can find them and fix them. They are a confident team with a highly competent coach to boot. If anything, they can dissect the weaknesses of other teams too. This enables them to find a way to exploit their defenses and ensure a victory in the end.
