That “No Hurdling” rule needs to be changed. So if someone is coming in to hit you low near your knees or ankles, you’re basically telling the kid to just take the shot to your legs regardless? Just stupid.

Idk if it's ever happened, probably not, but they should take all of the best high school teams in every state, and have them play each other like playoffs.

Hawaii's ranks pretty high up there at producing football talent but gotta admit FL is better. I'm from HI so was rooting for STL but knew it would be a tall task playing the #1 team from the #1 state at producing football talent. Congrats to St. Thomas Aquinas. St. Louis you have lots of talent but try to stay more disciplined next time and let your play on the field do the talking.

#19 was ballin! Double teaming him after the 1st quarter and still making plays, really made them run away from him 😂

[chanceh]

#19 for St.Louis was showing out even tho they lost I bet he got a couple more looks after that game

In 2018 defensive rookie of the year in the NFL was Joey Bosa from Saint Thomas Aquinas. And in 2019 the defensive rookie of the year will be his younger brother Nick Bosa also an alum of Saint Thomas Aquinas.
There are more Saint Thomas Aquinas players playing in the NFL today then from any other high school program in the country. Note: This years NFL Most Valuable Player will be Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson from Boynton Beach High School Florida.

[idkman]

Since when has a hurdle been a penalty? That's actual BS.

[thehaloguy]

Theres some DOGS on that St. Thomas team damn... team is sick to watch

[GabrielGarcia-htsr]

The ultimate Florida game would be IMG vs STA

[SwingingSamoan]

St. Louis was without their other OLB who a top ESPN 300 recruit. He would have definitely impacted that Aquinas run game

[SetlistPlughc]

damn st. louis had 3 d 1 recievers one that runs under a 4.4, and a d 1 qb that offense is crazy

[cnote]

St Louis QB is a dude! Imagine if he had 22 recruited transfers around him like St Thomas Aquinas

[michaelspencer]

Better tackling on St louis part and score would be alot closer or even win the game. Not every tackle needs to be a highlight reel.
Terrible calls from the refs bias. A few penalties were unnecessary called against st louis.let the kids play ball.
Despite the score St louis led the way the first half

[johnwalker]

1 player for aquinas saying home. Your welcome america

[flipboyunited]

I'm from Hawaii and I have NEVER seen how dirty St. Louis was playing that game...I understand they want to prove something but really show some Aloha on the field. I'm surprised that they played that way.
