Aquinas returns to their home field after their historic victory over Cincinnati Elder to find a familiar opponent waiting. The Cardinal Gibbons Chiefs visit Brian Piccolo Stadium for the match up known as the "Catholic Bowl" in the Raiders' 2008 season home opener.
The history of this Raiders versus Chiefs/Redskins series needs a quick review. Overall, St. Thomas leads the series with a 34-9 record which includes 12 consecutive victories dating back to 1996. Aquinas Head Coach George Smith holds a 29 wins-one loss record in games he has coached against Cardinal Gibbons. When the two teams have met in home opening games at "The Picc", the Raiders are undefeated with a 6-0 mark.
The Raiders win their second game of the 2008 season with another victory against a catholic school team while extending their consecutive win streak to 11.
No tailgating allowed for this game, St. Thomas is all business.
