The nation's # ranked team will play # nationally-ranked St. John Bosco at St.Thomas Thomas Aquinas to wrap up the showcase in a nationally televised game on ESPN2. A new look offense will put to the test, as previous offensive stars like WR Jeremiah Smith, RB Davion Gause, QB Ced , and WR/ATH JoJo Trader are now lending their talents to major college football programs at the next level. Head Coach Dameon Jones is an blue chip architect of a powerhouse program that replaces the chips annually or as needed to heel a well oiled machine on all three facets on the gridiron. It's evidenced by his 6 State Championships in his last 8 straight State Final appearances.
