Showtime comes to Brian Piccolo Stadium as the nationally-ranked Deerfield Beach Bucks face the nationally-ranked St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders under the bright Friday night lights.
The media arrives in full force to showcase the Bucks (5-0) and the Raiders (5-0). Both teams are rated at the top of most national, state and local polls. This much anticipated game between the long-time rivals will be broadcast on CBS College Sports TV and streamed-live over the Internet by WWFE-670 AM.
The Raiders have won 14 consecutive games since their 2007 loss to Deerfield in the final seconds. But the Bucks are a team that has dominated Aquinas in recent seasons, winning four times against one loss over the last five years. Deerfield has won the last two meetings between the schools.
Both teams are coming into this game with high-scoring wins last weekend. Both teams have athletic, competitive players. The Bucks and Raiders match up evenly in most every area.
The defense that tackles better will provide the key to victory in this game.
When the lights go down and the media heads out of town, the numbers add up to a Raider victory as St. Thomas tackles a major obstacle and continues undefeated in 2008.
