The Raiders won their first state title since 2016 last season and are favorites to repeat in 2020. They added some big-time transfers and return a lot of talent so expect them to be heavily in the mix to finish this year at No. 1. St. Thomas Aquinas has won at least 10 games every year during the MaxPreps era (since 2004) and has gone 67-8 since Roger Harriott took over as head coach before the 2015 season.
