GRR: St. Thomas Aquinas
St. Thomas Aquinas of Kansas defeated their longtime cross-border rivals Kansas City Junior Blues 15-0 Saturday in wet, unpleasant conditions.
Aquinas struggled to get out of their own way a little bit in the first half, and entered the break up 3-0 thanks to a penalty goal from Sam Gasparovich. But, said Head Coach Tim Kluempers, it could have been more.
On Day One of the two-day Lindenwood High School tournament, Penn HS of Indiana has looked very strong.
The second of two intense preseason tournaments in the middle of the country will kick off this weekend with the Lindenwood Invitational, one week after the Oklahoma Showdown.
It was a long weekend for St. Thomas Aquinas, but perhaps a valuable one, as the Kansas City-area school lost both games on their short trip to Colorado.
On Saturday, Regis Jesuit defeated the Saints 32-14, and on Sunday East HS did the same, 32-14.
