I’m no Folsom homer but nobody can watch that game and tell me the better team won. Serra got extremely lucky to come out of there with a win. Missed fg chip shot by folsom and onside kick they didn’t even look ready for. Props to Serra because they played their tails off and out coached folsom but let’s be honest that Folsom let them off the hook. I think DLS beats Serra personally.

Serra dominated the 1st and 4th quarters, that's at least 50 percent of the game. Folsom scored on one drive, they scored on a fumble inside Serra's 20 on the kickoff and then scored on a lateral play that should've never happened because the ball hit the ground on the previous play where the ruled the WR caught it for a long catch. I would say that's Serra letting Folsom off the hook. Serra also missed a PAT and a chip shot FG as well and was on a bus for 4.5 hours. The team with more talent may not have won but the better "team" did win.

Have to agree that OTE didn't work out, though "big mistake" may be a little strong.

In any case, it looks like he has a chance to gain back some lost ground in the G League camp.

I remember seeing him in his first game as a freshman for O'Dowd... Dude was NOT normal.

Not only didn’t OTE work out for him in terms of his development, but he lost his college eligibility. Just brutal. At least he was able to cash in when he signed with them. Good luck to Jalen going forward.

Indiana Fever Playing much Better

CC should be ROY and 1st team WNBA (at worst 2nd) as she is leading the league in assists. From 1st pick in the draft to the playoff 6 seed and over .500 should put her in the MVP consideration also....not saying win the MVP but a top 5 finish seems reasonable.

Let's see if the haters can actually give her the props she deserves. Does Sheryl Swoopes have a vote? Just saying...🤷

Put this one on Folsom coaches. You can play with the video game mentality for only so long. 4th and 28 and you don't punt? I don't care what happened, it's on the coach to call a timeout there.

Offsides on the PAT and they try to take it on the kickoff, then decline it instead of going for 2 from the 1.5 yard line with a 5 star dual threat QB, but hey we'll go for it on 4th and 28.

Folsom gets the ball at midfield with about 6 or 7 minutes left in the game, championship teams grind out the clock here. What does Folsom do? Throw the ball, don't milk the play clock, incomplete pass and then 10 yard punt.

Don't cover the huddle in an onside kick situation, wow.

Folsom's "Best Team Ever" just got beat by a team replacing 18 starters, 3 of those new starters out with injury, after a 4.5 hour bus ride.

Two things I noticed on the 4th down. Lyons got lit up the play before hand. He layed on the floor for some time and got up slow. If this was the NFL, he probably would have been pulled from the game to be evaluated for a concussion. Who knows if he even knew what he was doing. Also, Coach Doherty didn't seem to have much of a reaction to the failed 4th down. It wouldn't be the reaction I suspected by a coach if the players made a mistake for going for it. It was likely on him. Crazy to think any coach would go for it in that situation against the caliber of team that Serra is.

Did Serra's QB throw an Int. last night? The coaching difference was evident, but I just didn't think the player talent was any where near equal and was heavily in favor of Folsom.

Coaching was a massive difference. You could say Folsom has more talent but Serra matches that with great football players. You don't have to be a Power 4 player to be a great high school football player. Coachable, high effort, solid athletes are all over Serra's roster.

Agree. I've always felt Folsom is very arrogant dating back to the Richardson/Taylor days. Lets not kick on 4th and 10 from our own 20. They use to pull that stunt back in the day even against DLS. And this was before some super smart indian kid was crunching the analytics.

Long season but is this another Folsom D1AA state champ with Folsom parade and banner year? Basically, the other state champ that nobody really cares about. At some point if Folsom isn't competing for an OPEN then its failure in my mind. They are pulling kids from everywhere now. They don't pay kids tuition but Serra beating them with a lacrosse kid who has barely played football is kind of an embarrassment.

Totally!!… Finally got a chance to watch the game and Serra o-Line was just as impressive as Folsoms….

Don’t know why everyone has been talking about such a talent drop off for Serra, they looks like the same Powerhouse they have been the last 2 years….

The 2 plays that stick out to me are the 4 and 15 from the 3 and the onside kick…. Those 2 plays killed Folsom….

The 4th and 15 from the 3 I think was supposed to be a punt but the QB who is also their punter, got disrupted by the pressure and tried to make a play that’s the best I can tell…. There is no way I would believe any Coach in their right mind would go for it….

The onside kick was on the Coach, everyone knew it was coming except Folsom it seemed who looked completely un prepared for that…. Shocking….

Great game between 2 great teams, Folsom made some big mistakes and only lost on a game winning FG, but you can’t make big mistakes against the teams Walsh is putting out there because they don’t shoot them selves in the foot….

DLS will have to play a perfect game against Serra this week to win….

I don’t think DLS has to be perfect, but they can’t afford to turn the ball over.Gonna be a close, physical game. I wouldn’t consider it an upset if DLS wins

Can anyone tell me who went to Findlay Prep, Prolific, and any other prep or academy from the Bay Area that made it to the NBA. I am getting old and due to health issues have lost some memory, but will there ever be a time that someone sits down with these kids and says look at the list which I know we can add tons of more names.

To me I would have loved to see Jalen stay playing for Lou Ritchie. The discussion would be one and done and lottery pick. Per the article he isn’t even in the Top 100 draft ratings. And to me when foreigners are continually growing the numbers in the league, dominate your peers in high school and dominate your level in the summer. That path has proved itself over and over again.

Great Analysis…. You nailed it with Serra being Underrated and out coaching Folsom, but I don’t think Folsom is overrated, they are still the most talented team in Nor Cal….

It is obvious that we all overrated Folsoms win over a Bad LBP team that was boat raced again last night by SD Lincoln…. Folsom’s schedule was just not very good in the end with LBP, Serra and Turlock….

Compare that to Serra schedule of Folsom, DLS and SJB…. With an inexperienced team to boot…. Not afraid to be the underdog in all those games and take a projected “Guaranteed “ L against SJB….

That is the only way Folsom is going to up their game, they need to put a real powerhouse on their schedule so they understand how to prepare for and Coach in these games….

You have PITT traveling to play SJB, SJB traveling to Nor Cal to play Serra, MD only has a 9 game schedule and I am sure would have jumped at the chance to come to Nor Cal and play Folsom….

If Folsom is serious about playing in the open, they need to schedule like it…. You need to have the projected 2 best teams in Nor Cal and a National level powerhouse in your 3 non league games….

Folsom to me is like the top teams in Texas. Texas screams year in and out that they are the best hands down. They do it in both football and basketball. They cry broke and don’t have the travel funds when in turn they build multi million dollar stadiums for their teams.

And now Texas is pumping themselves up cause Desoto blew out a Georgia state 4A runner up.

At the end of the day to be the best you got to beat the best and the only way to prepare for it is schedule top teams.

Riordan travels to St Bonaventure.
Pitt travels to Bosco
Serra hosts Bosco
And with 5 homes games in a row, Folsom travels to Oak Ridge.

Hell even Mack hosts Riordan then travels to St Francis.
