Saint Thomas Aquinas Academy / Lena High School Titan Football
Varsity Football
With the approval of WIAA, the Saint Thomas Aquinas Academy- Lena Titan Football Team joined the M&O Conference in the fall of 2003. With their combined strength, the schools were able to offer a varsity and junior varsity football program. The Titan cheerleading squad for football was also formed and includes students from both schools.
The co-op has been an incredible success. In 2004-05, the schools petitioned WIAA for approval of co-ops in Cross Country, Wrestling, Track & Field, Softball and Baseball. WIAA approved the final request in June 2005. We were the conference champion in 2005.

The JV team has had a wonderful season winning some and losing some but the point of JV is not only to win but to learn if you don’t know enough about the game you can go on the JV team to get more playing time.
