I think you have a little more objectivity than most other Folsom fans . You know whom I'm referring too. The problem is it’s not “Folsom fans”. It’s one pathetic lowlife troll who uses many screen names. 90% of folsom dont post or even know about high school message boards. Sadly it just takes one bad apple to give an entire fan base a bad rap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed because I’ve never heard high school kids being described as “most solid citizens”. What does that even mean? How does that poster even know? Nobody even questioned the characters of those kids. It was just a funny thing to say. You know what I mean. To use the original poster's language, they have character and ethics. They're great young men, and I know because I've been following their careers for years, have seen their sportsmanship on the field and yeah, I know one of their parents. Got it?

A cen10 or MV, servite game would be great for their socal head to head . Then they need to schedule SF or Serra to try their hand at the best of wcal . If there was ever a time to do it, it is now. If they don't do it, and just do the no-lose game vs dls once again, than it is a disgrace . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogPile Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 3 hours ago, Extremely Humble said: There was an Open playin game established before folsom petitioned to have it ended . I totally agree going forward , Norcal needs a true Open playoff like socal . The statement "Folsom petitioned" is an urban legend. I had a son who played for Folsom during that period. A few helicopter moms wrote letters to the commissioner; there was never any real push back from the coaches or administrators to get rid of the Open. The real issue was that with the relative lack of quality teams coming from NorCal, they did no want their second best team out of the playoffs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cathedral bit off more than they could against Cen10 and DLS but won league and a state title game.

They played with great confidence last night. Folsom's a little better team than they may have looked last night, but they are well coached and do have a lot of talent. Their qb can make plays . Was a good hard fought, intense game by both teams. I'm glad I watched . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammyswordsman Posted December 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 22 hours ago, PopsNW said: This is an annual post for Sammy. Yes, I wrote something similar a couple years ago. Turns out I was correct as DLS has fared even more poorly than the did back a couple years ago. Instead of just losing badly in a SBG to a "Super team" now they have lost to a fellow Nor Cal team, and also to the unthinkable. In the latter game they had 16 penalties. Now boosters can't even point to a "perfect effort" and hang on being pius to explain the drop off of talent. DLS is truly at a cross roads as it pertains to being relevant in National HS football. Maybe they don't care about that and thats fine. If they do wish to get back into the conversation for National and State relevance, then changes do need to be made. I am not saying DLS needs to "sell their soul". DLS would have to figure out how to once again be a "destination school" for top youth football players. Some people say DLS needs to attract better QB talent. Some guys say DLS needs to get better linemen to want to come to DLS. Usually a supportive principal will make all the difference. I am not clear on the position of DLS current principal or if he was the same principal that enabled Lad to do his thing, but that is where direction will come from. This thread poses the question as to what the direction of the school will be. Whether they continue to de-emphazise football, or put more energy. DLS is an excellent Jesuit school who turns out fine young men. No one disputes that. I am sure that DLS is spoken very highly of on the Jesuit boards. On Prepgridiron we are mainly concerned about the football program, so that is what the conversation should center on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to clear it up for you bc you were going down the wrong track. I was simply pointing out your error in assuming it was about the kids character. I never said one way or another how I feel about the arms race in in SoCal, so your santimoniousness comment is wrong too. Take a deep breath, hug the family and enjoy life.
