St Thomas Aquinas vs Miramar


STARaiders2014

Recommended Posts

Well this has been one of the more talked about games up until this point and it is finally here! STA and Miramar the game which Miramar has taken the past 3yrs in thrilling fashion comes around yet again. Both teams are hungry after a tough L to American Heritage for Miramar and a very tough L to Don Bosco Prep for the Raiders. I expect the Raiders to come out fired up looking to show that they are still the team to beat in 7A, however I also look for the Patriots to come out and show that they are not afraid of the Raiders. I think this could be one of the better games of the season regardless of talent these guys always have great games. Your thoughts? I'll give more analysis tomorrow

Well, I'll be bold and give my two cents..... From what I understand Miramar made a switch at QB during Halftime of the American Heritage Plantation game.  I heard that the original QB is a pocket passer and had struggled a bit during the previous American Heritage Delray game and after another week of further evaluation they brought in a very mobile, elusive Junior (JV starter last year) to fill his shoes.  I am curious to see how Miramar/the new QB will react should they happen to go down 2 scores to St. Thomas.  Perhaps he also has a great arm but we all know playing catch up on the ground is an uphill battle vs through the air ( particularly against St. Thomas) .  Perhaps he passed and ran all over Plantation which is a great feat and deserving the starting the role vs. Plantation but every tackle he shook, juked and avoided is going to coming at him that split second faster which in my opinion might force a couple INTs.....those 18 yard gains last week now might be 4 yard gains.  I simply am not sold a Junior with the experience of 1 and 1/2 games starting is ready to beat St. Thomas.  Then again , I am the guy at home just sharing my opinion and this kid might be the next Geno Smith....Perhaps you also have to look at the revenge factor or does Miramar get into the Raiders heads and they start thinking this is still the one team in Broward that has our number???   If Miramar wins this game, I think you have special teams and their stout defense taking control.  Both teams are top 3 teams in Broward right now and we will know more Sat. evening .  Looking forward to see how this one turns out but I think St. Thomas has a little more yards through the air to put them over the hump and take this one in a low scoring affair:

 

St. Thomas: 20   Miramar: 16

No specifics on three suspended STA players but all are rumored to be defensive players...

Have not been in contact with people close to STA this week been a crazy week in my life havent kept up with it as much....anyone got names? If its defense then that is worrying. Also worrying is why they got suspended.....you cannot be doing stupid stuff!!!

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
