End of a season

The St. Thomas Aquinas High School boys soccer team ended their season Saturday, Feb. 16 at the state Class 5-A championship game with a 2-1 loss to Wharton High School from Hillsborough County.

There is a sense of great pride throughout the community at the accomplishments of the Raiders as championship games only pit champions against champions. The final score is not the measure of success at this level. That is in the lessons learned by the athletes who will apply the disciplines required of champions as they go forth in life.

Congratulations to the champions of St. Thomas Aquinas High School!
