Idk if it's ever happened, probably not, but they should take all of the best high school teams in every state, and have them play each other like playoffs.
50 team playoff sounds insane but fun
@@ACIDDD by class though 7A vs 7A and so on
Or do bowl gane series
Texans complain that they already play 16 games if they make it to state , and that it doesn’t matter lol but they claim to be the best in the country 😅😅
@@bar-bee-cue-chicken3549 we are
That “No Hurdling” rule needs to be changed. So if someone is coming in to hit you low near your knees or ankles, you’re basically telling the kid to just take the shot to your legs regardless? Just stupid.
Hamoanese I agree with this rule change, but as a high school commentator how do you not know the rules?
The reason they have it is because they dont want to encourage players to hurdle so they dont get their legs taken out and land on their head/neck. Not saying it's a good rule, but in a way it makes sense
Hannibal Barca good point. Funny how they care about it at the high school level but not at college or pros.
Hamoanese because they don’t want kids hurt and higher level athletes are adults ig
it's not a hurdle if someone is diving at your knees...
#19 for St.Louis was showing out even tho they lost I bet he got a couple more looks after that game
#19 was ballin! Double teaming him after the 1st quarter and still making plays, really made them run away from him 😂
Look at him now. A Steeler
Geico is gonna have a highschool football national championship someday. Mark my words
Hawaii's ranks pretty high up there at producing football talent but gotta admit FL is better. I'm from HI so was rooting for STL but knew it would be a tall task playing the #1 team from the #1 state at producing football talent. Congrats to St. Thomas Aquinas. St. Louis you have lots of talent but try to stay more disciplined next time and let your play on the field do the talking.
Some fucked up calls here, & it was only a highlight. 😆 how much did Sanders pay the reff?🤝😉💥😎
Texas is #1. Fl is prob more like #2
@@nickcoker4293 Per capita and maybe even in total Florida produces more NFL and college players than Texas.
If it was the year before would’ve been a better challenge, I kno St. Louis would’ve took it 💯
@@Ffollies that's because Florida has more big money private schools and does alot more recruiting. Texas has better public highschool football. Obviously Florida will produce more talent when they have schools like IMG academy which recruits the best players from around the country.
In 2018 defensive rookie of the year in the NFL was Joey Bosa from Saint Thomas Aquinas. And in 2019 the defensive rookie of the year will be his younger brother Nick Bosa also an alum of Saint Thomas Aquinas.
There are more Saint Thomas Aquinas players playing in the NFL today then from any other high school program in the country. Note: This years NFL Most Valuable Player will be Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson from Boynton Beach High School Florida.
Heard of Tua? 🤙
Florida is where it’s at 💪🏼
St. Louis great job ! St Thomas is a beast
UH has the same problem as USC, they can't recruit the best high school talent in the state. UH would be a top-power school if it did. For some reason, local high school talent does not want to go to UH.
damn st. louis had 3 d 1 recievers one that runs under a 4.4, and a d 1 qb that offense is crazy
But no running back lol
Saint Louis 💯☝️
Well you know what happens after this img probably in schedule next year
Theres some DOGS on that St. Thomas team damn... team is sick to watch
Florida football yes sir
Since when has a hurdle been a penalty? That's actual BS.
Lol. Huh? Lol it has been for a long time. Football has gotten soft
It's a penalty in HS Ball, not in college and NFL
not in Texas since we play college rules. you can hurdle all you like here
It varies from state to state. It's legal in AL if the opponent goes at your knees (They still throw the flag sometimes because officials in Alabama are awful--and even the good ones are fun-hating boomers), it's illegal with no exceptions in some states, and in cooler states, like Texas, you can do whatever you like
@@rileyblack4415 its never a penalty if someone is diving at your knees...doesn't matter which state.
The ultimate Florida game would be IMG vs STA
Naw Miami Central want that rematch from IMG shoot Miami Central beat STA
Or Miami north western
St. Louis was without their other OLB who a top ESPN 300 recruit. He would have definitely impacted that Aquinas run game
Nick Herbig?
@Pinky Toe Oh, I was just wondering because Nick Herbig is also a linebacker.
The middle LB was also missing. Another D1 kid.
Number 22 from st thom is next clyde edwards hilaire
1 player for aquinas saying home. Your welcome america
I'm from Hawaii and I have NEVER seen how dirty St. Louis was playing that game...I understand they want to prove something but really show some Aloha on the field. I'm surprised that they played that way.
Same here. I'm guessing at least part of it is they just weren't used to playing a team better than them so they got frustrated. I watched the whole game and was shocked too at the lack of discipline. Seemed like one unsportsmanship penalty after another.
I"m from Hawaii, a school that St. Louie beat lot's of times and yes, they played exactly how they always played. lol Aloha on the field? from St. louie? lol yikes
stl always plays dirty 😂 you js havent shared the football field w them
33:39 #78, when you don’t get any playtime, but still wanna talk shit 😂
Yessah baby
State Population Rankings #1 California (39,700,000) #2 Texas (29,800,000) #3 Florida (22,000,000)......#40 Hawaii (1,500,000). Even with the least, Hawaii can bang with the best!!!
Man my state representative in the national championship they have won before this past year 4out of the last 5 state championships
Congratulations ST Thomas. You guys deserve it. I think you guys have one of the best defensive in the country. Offensive did there thing to but defense was on point. In 2020 let get a harder schedule with more competition you guys have a talented program
NO WAY!!! The best of the best is in California, Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, and New York. That would be the best...
St louis need some backs ...But for future reference whenever u come to the mainland put the ball on the ground ... Good game tho.. .
But number 14 from st loius nasty
Zay Rice I think that’s Roman Wilson Michigan commit
number 19 is a dawg the DE
It helps when you're a private school with no attendance boundaries limiting your recruiting and the Miami Dolphins players all send their kids there.
Excuses
Most them boys from broward/ftl
These are both private schools lol
Anyone know where to get/watch the full game..I had it then i lost it..
Better tackling on St louis part and score would be alot closer or even win the game. Not every tackle needs to be a highlight reel.
Terrible calls from the refs bias. A few penalties were unnecessary called against st louis.let the kids play ball.
Despite the score St louis led the way the first half
Bias ? The game was in the west coast
St Louis QB is a dude! Imagine if he had 22 recruited transfers around him like St Thomas Aquinas
st louis recruits as well though
the accelerated man
did you really just compare recruiting on a secluded island to recruiting all the best kids all over South Florida?
Stop it
the accelerated man yea we recruit but we cant recruit on the scale you guys do if that makes sense
All private schools recruit . St Thomas just capitalized in south Florida
TaythePA#26 St Thomas recruits Broward county! They get no kids from Miami Dade county. Y’all recruit the whole island!! Smh
People gonna hate no matter the team, and St. Louis would smash teams from the mainland
Island Grown nope
tweezy 72 Yup. St Louis beat Bishop Gormon lmaooo
Why was Jay Alter looking at Craig Haubert like that? 😂😂 Smiling mad hard, weird as shit
These are recruited teams unlike public schools across the country. Yes they are great teams but remember what I just stated!
Top public schools get players from all over who happen to move or transfer in feeder teams too. Get your head out of the sand. To be top you recruit
@@allensaunders449 exactly in oregon and washington as well kids transfer to the best schools to go play ball at the next level
@@allensaunders449 No it's not the same. A public school like Boynton Beach High might luck into a Lamar Jackson, but he's a man among boys in that situation. St. Thomas Aquinas is Power 5 Prep.
@@allensaunders449 In Texas there is some recruiting of a player or two but there are rules against it and most schools obey them. Usually a kid's dad gets a great job in this district and their son just happens to be a potential college prospect. People who are successful look for the best schools that afford their children the chance to excel in all aspects from academics to sports and they buy a home in that part of town and raise their family. The private schools have no such rules and can recruit, and most coaches agree to not allow these schools to compete in the public school classifications for state honors as it is unfair. They do compete in their own system and are recognized by the state which is the way it should be. The UIL now allows public schools to play pre district games against private schools if they wish.
@@allensaunders449 I am an ex coach and I know that some schools recruit a player or two and it usually involves a better job for the parents and this is against UIL rules in Texas but is not pursued. The private schools that this is all about, recruit all are most of their players and it is not against the rules because these teams are not a part of any state high school regulated sports program.
Fun game, would have liked to seen Jordan Bohtelo playing and the refs being a little less bias.
he got in trouble and had to opt out of the game
@@GazzefreGaming what did he actually do? Because i read that herbig actually knocked the dude out...
Bro was running from that bath
Dville finna do em
This is one of the most undisciplined St. Louis teams I've watched...
IRON5 yea there defense is missing key players like jordan botelho n chance beyer. jaden played bad this game
Jaden didn’t play bad lol he just finally played against a good team and not Campbell high school😂
So Flo lmaoo he’s still a really good player but yea in hawaii there is no competition other than punaho
So Flo Lmao someone a pussy ass hater 😂
@Sam Da Man yea hating on someone who threw 4 picks okay 😂
Jayden reminds me of Deshaun Watson my god 👌
Horrible comparison

St thomas best team broward county

Goatbe Bryant you are a true definition of a troll . Every Florida team that’s in pop warner, SFYFL, high school and flag football ur always hating. Jit u need to find a better hobby
Florida football!!!!! We breed this
Florida teams didn't play that well against most out of state teams this past year
#TexasFootball
Florida on top ... this was our first bad season
@@sigsig6155 go look at Fl vs Texas showdown and who beat south carrol lake great team
@@sigsig6155 Texas scared to play the power of the real south
I’ll be betting big on Washington state with that qb at helm
Let me settle all this chatter about recruiting. Look no further than Mater Dei, St john Bosco, and Bishop Gorman. These 3 teams recruit and transfer kids heavily. St Louis recruits kids too. There's a saying in Hawai'i..."ROOTED not recruited". St louis and Kahuku in Hawai'i are known to bring in kids from all over the island and mainland. St Thomas is legitimately bringing kids in from Broward County 2nd largest county in the state of Florida. Look up De La Salle HS, a t team that Aquinas played and beat in a close game. They coach up the kids they get. Have a look at their game tape and roster on maxpreps. Nothing in size or numbers to these heavily recruited squads.
St. Louis and Kahuku recruit from Hawaii but not really from the mainland, unless you're talking about kids who already have some kind of connections to the islands (ex. relatives)
Yeah right you fucking liar 😂😂😂
Why st thimas never play img???
I would pay double to see that matchup
Coach smith said he’ll never play img idky exactly but I think it’s something with the other coach
@@NonameJay it'll be a damn good matchip, let the boys play
None of the private schools played IMG in South Florida
Texas will not participate in this bowl game but want to claim they are the best when Florida has the most NFL players .
It's easy to have the best players when you have some of the wealthiest private schools in the country which recruit from around the world. Texas has better public football programs period...
Texas couldn't beat any miami high schools in the 305 and they are some of the poorest schools in the country . Texas is the state with multi million stadiums and paying coaches 60k to coach
St Thomas Aquinas should’ve played Marietta and vice versa.
Related to Arik Gilbert??
nah sls should have won
@@anelulafaele3037 couldn't stop the run. And offense disappeared in the 2nd half.....along with injuries.
They should have played St Frances Academy, they were eligible but no one wanted to play them.
@@jacksonclawson7311 no they weren't...
Mahomes😳
Why they didn’t wanna play Mater Dei or Bosco
St. Louis didnt have their best player 6'2 240lbs Linebacker Notre Dame Commit Jordan Botelho
tatertots00 wouldn’t matter
@@leslohamilton4285 yeah cause paid refs
Bruno Mars people js can’t accept when a team is better than hawaii😌🤣
Drxk0 14 Lmao and yet Hawaii had more NFL players this year per capita 🤣🤣🤣
Crusaders got humbled.
N#23 is nice! anybody who he is and if he played anywhere for college
For saint louis? He is at UH
Imagine being St. Louis
There’s a difference between how St. Louis recruits and how mainland teams recruit
We recruit local boys all over the island
Mainland teams recruit all over the country
That means something...
tell that to the Oahu teams that get their butts beat by da Louie all the time. it doesn't make a difference that mainland teams recruit all over to them. St. Louie get's the cream of the crop in Hawaii and is successful because of it. Seariders baby! Rooted not recruited.
@@craighelp12 lol st Louis recruits from one of the smallest populated states in the country. Meanwhile Florida schools recruit from across the nation. Also the budgets don't even compare.
The turnovers killed saint louis. Had they not turned it over, stayed healthy and tackled better they would’ve won.
St Thomas was too much in the end. Saint Louis was a good team but not on the level of St. Thomas
Pinky Toe FIRST HALF ended with St Thomas winning. St Thomas shut them out second half. St. Louis has some good drives but let’s not get carried away
Pinky Toe So penalties and the Refs prevented St Louis from no scoring a single point in the second half? C’mon dude if you can’t score a point in a whole half of football maybe, just maybe you are the inferior team. St Thomas has more players in the NFL than any high school and Miami has most players in the NFL than any city.
Pinky Toe That’s still not a valid reason for being shut out the entire second half. Lol
Anymore excuses ... LMAO
Good try Hawaii but Florida will always be too much for yall! #itsjustdifferent
Jp Selfmade239 apparently Maryland is too much for Florida so don’t be too arrogant.
Jackson Clawson ask the recruiters where they stop first? Florida. Maryland solid though. And I thought Florida was just playing Hawaii so why we talking about Maryland?
And it’s nothing arrogant about it just stating the obvious check out all the recruiting classes and see where these kids from bro
Jp Selfmade239 Maryland went 8-1 against Florida. Maryland beat img, Miami central, American Heritage, Deerfield beach, southridge, Venice, Norland, and plant. Florida beat St. John’s.
Jackson Clawson that’s a valid fact. But like I stated in the comment above we talking about Florida vs Hawaii bro I never discredited Maryland I simply said to ask the recruiters check the rankings Florida all over that thang
BS call on that hurdle
They didn't have a chance. I knew by the D1 colleges that were offered they were goin to lose. They had 4 people goin to SEC schools. The Hawiians were goin to Pac 12 schools lol. It was self explanatory.
Thats ridiculous. It would have made a world of difference. St Louis other elite LB Herbig was unblockable if Aquinas couldnt block the lesser of the 2 what makes you think they could handle 2?
@@tatertots0046 One player wouldn't have made a fucking difference on defense. You act like this game was close. You don't know shit about football but then again you're probably from Hawii.
Dont most athletes from the south go to SEC schools? Lol u must be from the south and don’t understand geography.
PAC 12 is the “conference of CHAMPIONS “ for a reason.
@@beezytalkingshit9319 That one player leads the defense and what happens when that player isnt there?
Florida is the best
Not believe you
I'm from Hawaii and I agree Florida is the best at producing football talent. Can't argue with numbers. Hawaii's up there too though but not as good as FL.
I know public schools in Florida that could’ve beaten St Louis😂
It took St. Thomas Aquinas, rank 5 in the country to beat them. Which Florida school is better than St. Thomas in florida?
Lol obviously you know nothing about florida football. Go look at who STA played in the state championship and lmk the final score. There’s a lot of public schools that can beat St Louis from Florida
@@soflo5214 How about you tell me, you said it so you provide it.
Punahou almost beat St Louis twice but they’re not ranked lol
@@soflo5214 According to Max preps, Punahoe is ranked 35th in the country and 2nd in Hawaii behind St. Louis. What I really want to know is who STA played in their State championship and the score, so tell me.
Is this the same st Louis that said it would beat St John Bosco.
Did refs come from Florida to? Hit on St. Louis and was a blantn late hit kid took 3 steps after an threw the ball. That was a big play that wasn't called. All penilties went aganist Hawaii team.
Yall loss fl was gojng to win regardless
Where was jordan botehlo
I heard he couldn’t play because he had a assault charge on the third degree on him. The judge punishment was that he could not play and pay a fine
Yup him and Herbig but just a little fight.
Brandon STFU stooooopid kid
He and Nick Herbig got into a fight after the state championship girls volleyball game with kids from a rival school (Kamehameha). Judge ruled Botelho couldn't leave the state, hence he played in the state championship game but could not play against St. Thomas Aquinas.
Ffollies what happened exactly?
Saint Louis got screwed this whole game.
come play the crusaders when we have Jordan Botehlo than you will see how good they really are
Anelu Lafaele still would lose, FOH!
@@arnokhaN would we really you've never seen the whole team
Y’all would have still lost polys ain’t really ready for the speed and power of black running backs
SinseiBreeze that was really dumb what you said
Hes wrong whoever wins this game are not the best in the country
We have 3 teams in Dade county that would have killed st Louis 305
Obviously the people who actually watch HS football disagree with you.
That part let them know
Telling I say bible story saint Thomas born Israel India soldier in mount find his true high school football
Refs failure. Roughing the passer
15 for St. Louis trash or less he was having a bad game 🤦🏽♂️
He was having a bad game most likely
he’s one of the top safeties in the nation
GA beats a Washington team ass, Florida beats a Hawaii teams ass. Y’all better stop playing with the south man
Play mater dei next and see what happens lol. Jk there's great teams all over the country
Excuses 👇🏿
Wasn’t impressed with the so called number one team in the nation. From a small Island in the pacific. They came and destroyed.
St. Louis would smash your high school, thats why they didn’t play in this game
“Small island” most the teams down here would destroy the schools wherever your from sorry buddy
@@islandgrown7877 hes praising STL, he just said he wasnt impressed with st thomas
@K Will this is a bowl series game not a national championship game and they call you #1 if you're ranked #1 in a major poll.
Hawaii kids seems short and much less athletic(except the QB) than the FL team.
Hawaii kids are tough but the DB's are so small and slow 5'4-5'8. Even most recievers are 5'8 and smaller. There are receivers over 6'1 underclassman here in Hawaii that are great and can gain yards in space unlike the St.Louis skill players which couldn't against STA. Not all your best players go to St. Louis.
St.Louis couldn't beat the top 20 teams in Florida. St.Louis is too slow and no running game. I played in Florida and coached here in Hawaii. Florida 211 NFL players, Califorinia 185. Hawaii 10
Population of Florida: 21 Million. Population of Hawaii: 1.2 Million.
Miami only has a population of 430,000 thousand and 42 current NFL players. California and Texas have more people than Florida so they should have more NFL players than Florida? Orlando ( 200,000 population) public schools Edgewater,Apopka,Jones,and Dr.Phillips would would whip St.Louis simply because of speed!
@@waikikisurflesson528 well said, Florida has less population than California and Texas yet they produce more NFL players. Population gives you better opportunity to have more players but in football it's about Quality not Quantity.
@@ahucatitlan It is because of the storied past of Florida. You ask about anyone where is the best place to go play to have a shot they will say Florida. There are many states that legit don't even get recruited other than by in state recruits. This is why Florida has been the birth place for so many NFL players.
Hawaii has a population of 1 million
