The St. Thomas Aquinas football team has won 25 straight games against Big Central Conference opponents.
A couple of years ago, some dismissed their schedule as weak. They took a step up last year from playing the likes of Spotswood, Belvidere and South River in a 10-1 season to join the United Gold with Cranford, Summit, Rahway and Scotch Plains-Fanwood.
They went 9-2, then 10-1 in the same division last year.
Now? They’ve moved into the National Silver and are playing big Group 5 schools like Edison, North Brunswick, Franklin and Sayreville.
Can they keep it up?
Head coach Tarig Holman continues to want to play the best. Not only does he embrace the schedule, but he’s taking his team down to Maryland for two out-of-state games this year, including Mount St. Joseph of Maryland in Week Zero. They’ll also play Lincoln out of New York City in Week One, then close it out November first at Riverdale Baptist, also in Maryland.
