St. Thomas Aquinas goes for record 5-peat; Chaminade-Madonna tries for 3 in a row

St. Thomas Aquinas and Chaminade-Madonna will look to keep their state championship win streaks going as they play football at Ken Riley Field at Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee this week.

St. Thomas Aquinas will face Homestead in a rematch of last year’s 3M state title game on Saturday at 3 p.m. as they go for a record fifth consecutive title, but before that Chaminade-Madonna will tackle Clearwater Central Catholic for the second year in a row in the Class 1M championship on Thursday at 10 a.m.

The Lions are looking for a third consecutive state title in their eighth straight trip to the state championship game. A victory will equal the three titles in a row that they won 2017-19.

Both championship games will air on Bally Sports Florida and stream live on BallySports.com.

Miami Central won four straight state championships from 2019-22 and 2012-15 and are tied with St. Thomas for the most consecutive state titles.

I split games last week, going 2-2 as I picked wrong on Monarch’s defeat and the one-point loss by American Heritage. I’m 147-28 for the season,
