Entering the season, the buzz around
St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) was that the team had the potential to be the best in program history.

On Friday night, it backed up that claim on the field, as
Jordan Scarlett's three touchdowns led No. 3 St. Thomas Aquinas to a dominant victory over No. 5
American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.) 38-7.
Scarlett,
an offseason transfer from University, scored the game's first
touchdown early in the second quarter when he took a hand-off from
quarterback
Jake Rizzo, bounced outside and sprinted down the sideline for a 63-yard score to make it 10-0.
He
added touchdown rushes of two and nine yards in the third quarter. His
third touchdown put the game out of reach, 37-0 in favor of Aquinas.
American Heritage would add a late touchdown from
Torrance Gibson to
Brandon Johnson to prevent the shutout. The loss snapped American Heritage's 14-game winning streak.
St.
Thomas Aquinas will enjoy a bye week before it travels north to take on
Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.) in a game that will be played at West Point.
American Heritage will look to rebound against Miramar.
