When Mason Mallory left the 2024 6A state champion West Boca Raton program and transferred to St. Thomas Aquinas, there was no guarantee he would wind up being the starter.

The team’s first game is in Managua, and it’s the start of six two-game windows that will be held between now and March 2027.
