THE BIG GAME
In 2009, Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas was the top-ranked team in the nation. Led by five-star prospect Lamarcus Joyner, to say the Raiders roster was an embarrassment of riches is an understatement.
Aquinas was loaded on both sides of the ball with running backs Giovanni Bernard (North Carolina) and James White (Wisconsin) dominating on the ground.
