Greetings from Loomis!

[kiddman32]

That’s the home of Del Oro HS, where they’ll be facing the Folsom Bulldogs…

Nice nearly-new gym, unfortunately with quite a few of the 1900 seats bashed up by overzealous fans, I suppose…. Those plastic seast must have seemed like a good idea at the time…

Anyway, the boys JV game is ongoing, 7-6 Del Oro early.. a Golden Eagles win would be quite an upset…

Next game will be the girls varsity, then the boys varsity follows that.

 

[kiddman32]

13-11 Folsom after one quarter of JV ball.

Much tougher battle than the game at Folsom, where the Bulldogs had their way, running off to a 61-36 win…

Of course, I say that, and while I’m typing Folsom runs off eight straight to be up 21-13.

 

[kiddman32]

29-21 Folsom at the half.

 

[kiddman32]

67-57 final…. I’ll jump to the girls forums now…

67-57 final…. I’ll jump to the girls forums now…

Nice that KD is an equal opportunity provider... why am I not surprised

 

[kiddman32]

Back over to this side…. Folsom is 20-2, Del Oro 16-7.

When these two met on Jan. 6 at Folsom, the Bulldogs won 72-49.

I haven’t seen Del Oro this season, but I have peeped Folsom…. They are capable of some real magic…

Caden Pinnick of Del Oro will have to have a monster game, topping his 18 ppg, and will still need help after that.

 

[kiddman32]

Should Folsom take this one tonight, they’d have a practically insurmountable 3-game stranglehold on the league title with 4 to play before playoff time.

 

[kiddman32]

17-10 Folsom, 2:14 left in the 1st.

[ESPN Ken]

Definitely a sloppy game by both teams tonight

 

[ayalar09]

If the season ended today, would Folsom be an Open team?

My eye test says no, but their record says yes.

I think so .Don’t be fooled by one league game. This is the first game somebody has played them within single digits in sfl and there best player (CJ) was in foul trouble and sat.
Folsom has quality wins over Inderkum, Jesuit, Lincoln (sf), capital Christian to name a few.

But I also think several teams in the EBAL would give them all they can handle and then some.

How would they possibly not be an Open team? You type some stupid shit that never changes

Not sure what his eye test shows but I’ve seen this team a number of times in person play and I know them well.

My eye test shows 4-5 kids 6”4-6”7 that create havoc for almost every team. Keep in mind folsom player Modesto Christian tough for 3 qtrs in last years SJS and they are way better this year.

Good to know the Board is as rude as ever.

Look I saw them play Moreau Catholic and get beat pretty bad from start to finish. They crawled back into that game, but ended up losing.

But they have played an impressive schedule, including two wins against what I consider the two best teams in Sf right now in University and Lincoln. Yes Riordan and SI are right up there too.

Grant is also a different team now with Kiku Parker in the equation.

 

[kiddman32]

Folsom does seem inconsistent... Didn't look great last night, didn't look so good vs. Moreau, but looked like worldbeaters against Jesuit, especially the first 12 or so minutes.

They're high-school kids, these things happen.

Wasn’t that Moreau loss on the road played at noon after they played a game the night before 2 hours away? I don’t think that’s the game you judge the “eye test” by

 

[Streak One]

If the season ended today, would Folsom be an Open team?

My eye test says no, but their record says yes.

If they make SJS finals, they are going open. With wins over Jesuit, Inderkum and Capital, it is a safe bet today that they are a favorite along with MC to make the finals.

If they don't, then it gets interesting

Yes. They had a league game night before that ended at 1030pm. I wouldn’t put a ton of stock into that game either. In fact coach wall played 2 fresh in 1st half of that game and 1 of them gets limited time.

 

[Streak One]

I think every time a team steps on the floor, they need to be judged on the result. However, it is smart to weigh results based on a circumstance even if it is just a small asterisk
