December 5, 2009 - Tony and Tim were at the Florida Class 5A Regional Final between Blanche Ely H.S. and National #1 ranked St. Thomas Aquinas.

This was a, excuse the old cliche, "tale of two halfs". In the first half, Blanche Ely stormed out to 8-0 lead and shut down the #1 team in the Nation St. Thomas Aquinas's vaunted offense featuring multiple players destined for BCS schools. The first Ely score was a Michael German 12 yard touchdown pass to Darrien Allen with 1:46 remaining in the first first quarter. The first half would end with Blanche Ely leading 8-7. This was the first time St. Thomas has trailed at the half since 2007 during a state semifinal against Largo. The second half was all St. Thomas Aquinas as they ralled for a 28-16 victory, state semi-final berth and a matchup with Bradenton Manatee. Ely QB Mike German ended a great season by completing 17 of 35 passes for 264 yards with 2 touchdowns. Darien Allen of Ely finished with 8 catches for 148 yards. St. Thomas QB Jacob Ruddock finished completing 14 of 22 passes for 141 yards and 1 touchdown.
