Not true. Their football program was one of the very best in the SJS in the 80's and early 90's. One could actually say they were the Folsom of the SJS back then.

I was going to say the same thing. “Never” just isn’t accurate. At all.

I should have clarified, they haven’t been good for 3 decades.

Your clarification isn’t correct either. While they’ve consistently been a losing program this millennium, they did manage go 10-2 in 2019.

take away the “cl” and you would be on to something there’s a reason that the instant he left new man no school is willing to put up with him for more than a year or two (and in some cases not even a few months) despite home being a very knowledgeable coach. only new man puts up with antics like his and people like the coach they have now.

if you think the article was bad the full story about what really happened is much worser. completely ridiculous that someone like that is allowed within 1000 yards of a school, let alone leading a high profile program. but hey it’s new man so what can you expect. same school that let Paul Cronin run amuck for years.

Folsom has to play MD this weekend, the stars are aligned. Let the transfers off a week early and have at it.

Just read the article regarding the case with the coach/school. Very disappointing if even some of it is true.

Bellarmine immediately fired their AD a few years ago for an insensitive joke. Not all Bay Area schools tolerate this behavior.

The Bell’s basketball team was riding high and the football team was turning it around at that time too. Not so much now.

Modesto Christian is doing the same thing to the TVL.

Let the best large school vs best small school challenge.

10/4 Jesuit vs Ripon Christian
10/11 Rocklin vs Escalon
10/18 Oak Ridge vs Hilmar
10/25 Granite Bay vs Sonora
11/1 DelOro vs Hughson

Perhaps that was during the time SH was not in the WCAL? @Irish_Cheers can you confirm?

Just confirned it myself. We were independent. Old age is gonna get me in trouble. My bad.

With remote work now pretty much the norm in high tech, Coach Ravipati, works remotely on campus. A nice situation since he is most always on campus and stays in touch with the students, coaches and administration.

Btw - I don't think SHC has ever won a WCAL Football title in its entire history.

Yep you got me. Just looked it up. Man i am getting old. We went independent when Jamar Sheppard played. The kid was incredible. Thanks for the wake up call.

Garrison and the section is to blame. I actually feel bad for the kids. Many will call them soft or cowards. The reality is Davis has NO business being in the SFL for football. Garrison knows this and did nothing. Here’s another thing people may not realize. Programs and schools rely on football gate money and snack shack for funding. When Davis forfeits an away game that’s thousands of dollars schools rely on to fund other sports programs or football lost.

Are you misspelling half your words intentionally? It is really hard to understand everything you are trying to say.

For round five, there were 35 teams that went to undefeated as against round four was at 58...Round five has 28 undefeated teams at 4-0, three at 3-0 and four at 5-0. the break down is Maxwell Las Plumas and Ferndale at 3-0. the teams at 5-0 are Downey, Placer, West Park and Rodriguez. Teams of notice in the undefeated group of four are Las Lomas, DeLaSalle, California,San Ramon Valley...The Wolves walked over McClymonds 51-14 in last Friday night. The Warriors were not ready for what SRV brought to the game..But look what else happened,, DLS came from behind to stop St. Mary's 38-35and California dumped Antioch 47-18.
The North Bay league Red Wood Empire adobe has three teams at 4-0..Cardinal Newman, Windsor and San Marin, all three will see each other in the two next weeks. And Rodriguez at 5-0 visits Vacaville next Friday..The Bulldogs are big , but the Mustangs will have to use a fast moving offense as well as a defense to catch VV the same way did by Cardinal Newman. Other teams of 4-0 are Twelves Bridges,Red Bluff, Shasta of Redding, Sonoma Valley,Sacramento, Summerville, Lincoln, Wheatland Highland, Grant Bay, Winters,
El Cerrito, Salesian, Irvinton, Bradshaw Christian, Orestimba, Hughson and Sonora. I did not list all the 4-0 undefeated teams but I will be on the money next time.

Not sure what you mean here... In the link I provided, you can see DLS' JV and Frosh schedule with the tabs at the bottom. So I must not understand what you are posting.

This hoops nut will be there before they even open the doors.

I saw that DLS schedule page, and that has to be correct... I just don't understand why DLS's GoFan page has all three of their teams playing at Sac Charter the day before.

Again you put together a comment that just doesn’t add up.

Many successful coaches ended up with on campus jobs. Sure we have say a legend coach for De La Salle football but we also had one of arguably basketball coaches for DLS for basketball.

So to say teams are better with on campus coaches is comical. Riordan has a state title in basketball with an off campus alum. SHC won one WCAL football title in this modern era and the coach was an alum. But their state title team the coach was an alum at Riordan and did have a on campus job.

These boys have been playing games at 8 am for a decade straight . Playing one early game on the entire season, not a big deal. Thank you to the organizers for making this event happen

Click to expand...

Haven’t been to the event in quite a few years, however 8am games is very odd. It reminds me of being in Maui for 3 years straight and watching the 49ers at 7am at a great local bar that is now an empty space like much of Lahaina.

you have multiple legends at de la salle (this is the football thread so we’re talking about football here) and all every single one of them are/were on campus. if riordan was serious that would be there model.

embarrassing and sad. this is exactly my point of why the sierra foothill league is no longer at the top of north california. the sjs had something perfect and ruined it.
