In the 1988 season McArthur had been plotting strategy all week before their game against St. Thomas. They would arrive moments before the start, drive its yellow school buses onto Brian Piccolo field and take the Raiders by surprise. The plan worked perfectly, except for one thing. St. Thomas was more than surprised. It was stunned.
On that McArthur bus was running back, Errict Rhett, one of the greatest players in Broward Football High School history.
Current McArthur Coach Mike Zarra was a St. Thomas Assistant Coach in 1988 and witnessed the Mustangs' 29-0 victory over the Raiders. That victory was the Mustangs only win over Aquinas in their last ten meetings.
Not so fast Coach Zarra, the bus ploy will not work this time. Fool Coach George Smith and the Raiders once; but not twice, especially in 2007.
Both teams are coming off shut out games last week. But the Raiders shut out South Broward, and the Mustangs were blanked by Cooper City.
