DLS vs Mater Dei Open Div Champion Prediction
- Thread starter turk5555
- Start date
Mind you this was written in 2015 before you people started crying about transfers. Seems they accomplished quite a bit none the less

Actually most of those cities are in the “Concord area”. They’ve also been known to attract star players from Marin, Fairfield, Benicia, Richmond, Oakland and the likes. That’s been well documented and I don’t think any DLS people are going to dispute that.
At some point in the late 80s, DLS went from being a school with a good football program that Lad built with local catholic kids, to a NorCal and then National powerhouse that attracts football players and families of all faiths from many areas that want to play for a winner. MD (and other schools) kids transferring in to earn rings their senior years are upping the stakes.
It remains to be seen if DLS will resort to seeking transfers if they still want to be a national power and the top CA team, or continue to do what they do and remain the Kings of NorCal. We’ve already seen some NorCal transfers to the South. The HS football and sports landscape is changing.
LMAO
That’s like saying dls is better then sjb because they scored 21 and Bosco scored 13. Please stop your embarrassing yourself.

No he did not. He transferred to dls for academic reasons. He never saw the field last night.
I didn’t say he played last night, but that he’s part of the NCS Open championship team, which he wouldn’t have had at NG. I really don’t know his or his family’s motivation, but academic reasons for 1 year? Is DLS that much more advanced than Northgate? Did he take a class not offered at NG that’s going to get him into some prestigious college where he wouldn’t have otherwise gone? They probably should have considered that sooner.
I wish the kid well, and hope he’s happy with his choices, but he did manage to transfer in for his senior year and make the football team.
It should also be noted that Northgate has pretty darn gone good academics not sure DLS is any better.
Just flipped the DVR.
At around 11:00 Q1, the side mic picked up Alumbaugh, “That’s a false start. They’ve been doing that the whole time!” LOL. Then the truck guys repeated it with the camera shot. That’s all I needed to see to know the outcome. Most kids follow the HC; he was pressing, that early.
Funny clip: the sideline “reporter” pregame saying “Coach uh-LUM-buh.” Do your homework!

Bingo, yes they seemed frantic or pressing from the beginning. Where as MD seemed very nonchalant about the whole thing.
MD and DLS supporters alike, thanks for posting and offering your opinions and predictions on Saturdays CIF Open Division Championship game between No 1 Mater Dei and No 6/8 De La Salle. Final score: MD 35, DLS 21. The 14 point spread panned out like most professional sports writers predicted. But, you do have to admit that DLS made it interesting right until six mins before ens of the game when the score was 28-14, then DLS scored to make it 28-21. In the end just too many mistakes by DLS. 5 fumbles, losing three, which led to MD scores. Then on a punt, the DLS center had just too much adrenalin and hiked the ball over the head of the punter. Two plays later MD scored from the DLS 15. It is the Christmas holiday, and DLS kept on giving gifts to MD. It will be a very, very Merry Christmas for MD fans and SoCal HS football fans. Congrats to MD on their win and back2back National Championship. !!@@!!
That’s not how I saw it.
One was an exchange between the Center and QB. Hale just didn’t handle the ball. I watched the play multiple times. A MD lineman did submarine into the backfield (which is why I rewatched) but didn’t contact or affect the exchange. It was unforced.
Besides, Folsom held DLS scoreless for a half and got push into the backfield numerous times. Guess what. No fumbled QB-Center exchange. I think you’re reaching.
The 2nd was a poor snap out of the shotgun. Unforced again.

Didn't DLS win that game 14-0? I don't remember DLS guys being cry babies about how that game "could have and should have gone the other way"
DLS has a shutout win against #7 in the country. Folsom's best win will be a blowout against #9 in the state.
Even if Folsom wins 100-0, they'll still be behind DLS. A blowout win against an inferior team means very little. Any other opinion, is just that, an opinion. A crummy one at that
You’re totally right. Game was played, Folsom lost. They had numerous chances and didn’t make enough plays to win. As good as they are, they weren’t good enough that particular day to overcome their mistakes and a tremendous DLS team. Could that change if they played again, maybe. But we’ll never know.
I’ve been one to say that the game was close and could have gone either way if a couple calls/plays went the other way. I believe that to be true. But the reality is those plays didn’t go the other way and DLS got the hard fought W. There’s no denying that.
If Folsom had won the game with the key calls/plays going their way, I don’t think the team or their fans would care about or be listening to the DLS contingent arguing the same points. All they’d care about is the W. And rightfully so.
Same logic applies here.
#75 is Bennett. His high school career is as follows: Whitney/Folsom/Capital Christian/Mater Dei. So Mater Dei reaches up North too.
By this logic the only team that doesn’t recruit here then is Whitney.
I was half being sarcastic here. My point is who cares? These kids are going to transfer period. To act as if these coaches or programs are out recruiting etc is a stretch. Does it happen? I’m sure there are some but it’s few and far between. The programs that are successful will market themselves.
Yea, I got it. I only mentioned it cause there is so much recruiting talk going on here. He is the extreme in that he moved every year. (and someone mentioned him in an earlier post as a beast) I think I lot of people do care but I could care less as I don't really follow the schools that are on the extremes in the transfer game. To me it's a circus show but to the parents of the kids, it's a scholarship. I live in the past and care more about schools like Placer, than I do schools like MD. Call me old-fashioned.
Hmm, funny that Alumbaugh was complaining about MD having
false starts, DLS has been doing Oline rolling starts for what,
30years now, and half the time they are false starts, that for
some reason never get called by the line refs - it is what it is.

I thought exact same thing but hey if he isn’t looking for a edge he isn’t doing his job.
I know the NG coach and he told me that Fulp wants to be an engineer and dls offered something NG doesn’t. It seems to me if your a student and apply yourself your chances of getting into the school you want isn’t going to be any better if you go to dls as opposed to NG for just your senior year. I would agree with you also that he should of thought of that earlier.
My point was just that dls doesn’t take these senior transfers To better there football team. And that that’s absolutely the only reason MD does.
It’s not a reach to see the center losing a little concentration on his snap because he’s getting push back a yard all night
It’s not a reach to see the QB pull out a little early because the dive is getting stuffed at the mesh point all night.
This is why we have seen so many unforced turnovers by DLS the last two years.They are losing attention to detail because of the tremendous pressure the MD defense is imposing on them
So then tell me why the same thing didn’t happen when Folsom did the same thing for much of their game. DLS had very little yardage the 1st half and no points. Folsom was stuffing the run with penetration. Yet DLS didnt have problems handling snaps.
I say you’re reaching because both teams did the same thing with different results. And because the team that benefitted from the unforced errors wore MD uniforms you’re positioning it as if they did something Folsom didn’t.
Speaking only defensively, Folsom yielded less points against DLS than MD did. I believe total yardage was similar. Folsom just didn’t benefit from the unforced fumbles.
Which was the entire point.
Outstanding Post!!!.... I Think you hit the Nail on the Head about Both Coaches DLS and MD...
I Have felt there is something missing in the play-calling ever since the transition from Lad to Coach A... This year I thought it was because he was taking it slow with #20 since it was his first year as a Starting QB... But when I was at the BG game, I was shocked at how conservative he went when was up by 2 TD's and had BG reeling... Lad would have found a play to surprise BG and put up another TD and Ice the game... Coach A seemed content to run dive plays into a defense that had all 11 players within 5 yards of the LOS... BG almost came back and won that game....
As Far as Rollo and the spitting Incident, he had to know... It's ridiculous to think otherwise... I do believe he did not see it happen on the field and maybe the kid came back and said he didn't do it and the Ref was wrong... But he should have asked someone to look at the replay and see what happened and sent that kid to the locker room...
This year at MD they had players suspended for Shoplifting, Had to forfeit a game for an Ineligible transfer, Suspended their Top CB for the Open Game, and now one of their Team Captains spit in an opponents face... The Monarchs are the best HSFB team in the Country the last 2 years, but something doesn't seem right with their program right now...
Did you really just try to compare Folsom Defense with MD defense?
Tell me which defense was more physical and put more pressure on the others OL in that Folsom game? Then tell me who committed the turnovers? Teams that are getting pushed backwards make concentration mistakes.
DLS wasn’t getting pushed backwards in that game.DLS didn’t have minus run yardage against Folsom
Please don’t ever try to compare this Folsom Defense to the MD defense not even close
To compare Folsom's Defense to MD is absolutely Asinine... I have seen MD play 5 times this year and they have the best defense in the Country... Sure Bosco Blew them out, but when they played again with the big prize on the line, MD held Bosco and the #1 QB in the country to 14 points...
Folsom's O-Line would get dominated like they did against DLS and their QB would be running for his life...Folsom's offense would be lucky to score 14 points in garbage time against that D...
I watched some of that Folsom-Central game, and Central is not a great team by any stretch... Sure they were 13-0, but I also saw AZ Centennial Blow out a 13-0 Team 69-0 in the AZ 5A State Title game...
To me, Central looks like Corona Centennial Moving in Slow motion... Similar offense, They have Huge players but they looked very nonathletic on the lines... That Central team that put up 46 points on Folsom wouldn't sniff the end zone against MD, SJB or DLS... MD and Bosco would run over the Folsom D like a freight train and beat Folsom 55-7 or something like that... DLS wins easily 35-14 if they played again...
Folsom is the Best 1-AA team in the State and will have the most 1-AA Bowl wins after this year... That is a great thing for them... But they are what they are which is a TIER below the teams that play in the Open Games... Any Comparisons to MD are just completely ridiculous...

I don’t think this is what this forum was ment for.
I haven’t coached in a few years. And it wasn’t at Alhambra. Alhambra has probably one of the top three worst coaching staffs in NorCal. Greatness doesn’t challenge weak underperforming teams except for Folsom. However I do think Folsom is a great team. But they are the absolute definition of a paper champion.
Anyone who thinks Folsom's defense is better than Mater Dei's defense is smoking crack.
Yeah I’m a troll. You come on here change your handle every 3 days. You go crying to streak getting people thrown out of here. As far as agenda you push how great Folsom is in every thread on here. Your butt of everyone jokes on here. And I would be doing everyone a favor by going somewhere else? I’m sure there are Folsom fans on here saying to themselves “ come on dude your making us look bad”.
-Central Catholic
-Bishop O’Dowd
-Saint Francis
-Bishop Gorman.
-Buchanan
-Foothill
-San Ramon Valley
-Liberty
-Mater Dei
All these teams have better offenses then Folsoms. Folsom vs dls =0
All the teams mentioned above scored on dls.
Do the math. Don’t feed the trolls.
MD was missing 3 of their top DBs - 5* Elias Ricks (#1 CB in the country), 4* Jeremiah Criddell, 3* William Nimmo. But nice try at fake facts.
I am going to be the bigger man actually the only man. Your starting with personal attacks. You act as if your a part of Folsom. YOUR NOT.
Even if there may be some truth in what he writes, it’s pure comedy watching Commish (ie G61 FolsomBulldog, etc) accuse others of bashing Folsom and some for having multiple handles. I mean, c’mon dude, who do you think you are kidding with the whole “I’ve been reading this forums for years, but just decided to chime in now”??? ROFL
Yes I’m sure you’ve been On the site for years, just staying silent, then BOOM... 30 posts in 30 hours....um, laughable! It would be so much easier for you to just acknowledge what 95% of us know.
