No doubt! Conclusion, even though my son was on the 2008 team, 2016 state game will be replayed more so in my head, too. This 2016 team, IMHO, was the best St. Mary's team in my memory, better than 2008, and arguably better than 2004 and 2009. It's just unfortunate they left the field with the loss. Victory or defeat, that was still IMHO one of the best football games I ever witnessed, better than 2008. I got in my car disappointed, but not as disappointed as I thought I would be because I was truly entertained. I love my St. Mary's Rams, no doubt. But, I love the game even more. Last night proved it.They couldn't stop Frampton. That injury absolutely killed them. BTW, I think Aponte might have been the best player on the field last night. That kid is legit ! Not saying the best college prospect but in terms of HS football players there aren't many better and he's a jr. I was very impressed with him.
This game will be replayed for decades in the minds of those kids. (and us). So many mistakes and opportunities.
BTW, Folsom wasn't even close to these 2 teams. Don't even bother going there. St Mary's beats freedom by 4 scores if they played again.
