Each Monday during the regular season, a trivia question will be posted to test your knowledge of Raider Football History. A randomly selected correct answer will be awarded 2 tickets to a Raider home game.
During the 2006 game against South Broward High School at Brian Piccolo Memorial Stadium, the Raiders benefited from a very unusual play.
South Broward faced a fourth-and-36 from its own 6 yard line in the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs decided to punt. Here's what happened as South Broward attempted the punt.
St. Thomas linebacker, __________, pushed his blocker back on the resulting punt, and the punted ball caromed off the South Broward blocker's helmet and high into the air where Aquinas safety, ____________, caught the ball in the air in the end zone for a touchdown.
Name both the St. Thomas linebacker and safety that were featured in that play?
Hint #1: This hard working Aquinas linebacker chose to walk-on at Florida State and has made the Seminole roster.
Hint #2: This former Raider defensive back has made a major impact this season for The University of Florida Gators.
Post your answer in the comments section below. If you want to try and stump the Press Box Crew with a Raider Trivia question of your own, place it in the Comments section. If we cannot answer your question, we will also place your name in the drawing for 2 tickets.
Last week's question: Which one of the following seasons was not an undefeated regular season for the Raiders?
- 1992
- 1997
- 2000
- 2001
Answer: 1997; Although the Raiders won their second state championship in 1997, they lost to the Plantation Colonels during the regular season.
The winner of last week's contest is "lpierre". This is the third time that "lpierre" has won the trivia contest, 2 more tickets to a loyal Raider fan. Soon we will offer "lpierre", a permanent position with Raider Press Box team.
As always, thanks to all of you Raider fans that entered the contest.
