Columbus travels to top-ranked St. Thomas Aquinas for football matchup

High school football enters Week 3 with a schedule highlighted by a matchup between Columbus and top-ranked St. Thomas Aquinas on September 4. Columbus enters the game unranked in the national poll until recently, following a victory against Bishop Gorman. St. Thomas Aquinas maintains an undefeated start to the season with a defensive unit that has not allowed a point in the first half of any game. Other prominent matchups this week include American Heritage facing Chaminade-Madonna and Venice taking on Lakeland. St. Frances remains in Florida for a second consecutive week to play at Vero Beach after a high-scoring win against DeLand. Coaches are preparing for the upcoming slate as teams look to secure key positions in the state and national rankings.
