Folsom vs Centennial 2025

Not saying it isn’t true, but it all flies in the face of everything these programs have done historically.

Cen10 has never scheduled a game North of Fresno and almost never plays outside of the IE or greater LA and SD areas. Until just recently, they never left the state and marquee OOS programs always had to come to them.

They scheduled a game in Vegas and Greater Phoenix just these past couple seasons. But before that? Never.

Color me skeptical that after 35 years as a program they are going to schedule a game in NorCal (North of Fresno) for the very first time.

Conversely, Folsom never has scheduled a legit marquee SoCal (Southern Section) program, let alone one at the top of their game.

A couple of historic trends have to suddenly reverse at the exact same time for this one to be true.
I know it hasn’t happened before, but Cen10 not coming up to NorCal for a game isn’t a big deal to me. Point is, they’ve scheduled and played all their local and some National powers as well. Venue is secondary to actually scheduling and playing high profile opponents. Cen 10 has done that in spades

Parent/Coach/Administration Conflict at Sheldon

I've always thought Chris Nixon was one of the better coaches in the Sacramento area. And without knowing any details about this situation outside of what is in the Sacramento Bee article, this seems like an overreaction from the school side.

I don't remember all of the details, but he had a messy exit from Elk Grove too that might have been an overreaction

Didn’t that have to do with a shed built on campus, or something odd like that? Or am I remembering something else completely?

Strange overreactions to say the least.

A Good Cen10 poster confirmed it and states the game would be at Folsom….

Thunder, Folsom has a JV QB (Brody Rudneke) who would start on 95% of teams in Norcal varsity. He already has a few offers and will pile on a bunch this summer. He's not a Ryder Lyons but he will be a power 5 QB. So the machine still cranks. He's 6"2 190 and can run also. Personally I don't see why Ryder wouldn't leave after this year. He should be a Senior anyway and he is so far advanced as is.

The machine may still crank, but not against the likes of Cen10. Not w/o a once in every 10 years type QB.

Folsom should of been playing a big dog every year. A MD, Bosco, BG, Aquinas for the last ten years. They like to the comfort of being a top 10 team in the state and getting that d1 state title but they have shown no interest in the smoke of playing the top tier.
Folsom would get smoked by those teams you mention. C10 is a perfect opponent for them. Two top public schools, similar play styles, athletes everywhere. C10 will be a favorite for sure and Folsom will need to bring their A game to have a shot IMO. Doherty has shown more willingness to schedule so I’m giving them props.

Looks like this one will be happening week 0 followed by Serra the next week.

re: the length of the season and playoffs, it was announced during the Finals that the reg. season for next season will be lengthened to 44 games, and that the playoff rounds will also be longer, I think best of 7 for the finals, and best of 5 for the semi's.

Since they don't have an Olympic break to contend with, that's workable, even if the overall calendar length is shortened by a week to avoid contending with football. As far as that issue goes, I don't know why they don't just avoid the weekends late in the season.

Heck, even the NBA itself can't contend with football...

The ultimate sports nepo baby

Math sucks. I said "late 40's" for LeBron to have a shot at Nepo #2... He's 39 now, so maybe 44 or 45, not super likely, but not impossible.

He has said he thinks he can play until he's 50. As amazing as he is, I definitely doubt that.

Then again, Wilt was allegedly getting offers from pro teams past his 50th... But NBA, probably not.
There is nothing left for him to achieve. He's already left his impact on the game. His next phase in his life ideally he will use his wealth and influence to help areas of need, development, education, and opportunity.

What division are CN and Marin Catholic in NCS for the playoffs this season?

It depends on what Seed they get…. If the Open is the same it’s 1 v 8 and 2 v 7 and the winners play for the Open Title…. The rest of the Seeds are in D1…..

So if CN is 3-6 they would be in the D1 Bracket and could make a run but would still have to deal with SRV and Either PITT or DLS if they get by SRV…..

CN is currently Ranked #4 in NCS behind DLS, PITT and SRV…..
Exactly! So if CN ends up #3, they’d get a home game vs #6, and then would host most likely SRV, with the winner playing the DLS/Pitt loser for the D1 title and NorCal berth. If they end up #4, then the 2nd round would be at SRV.

Still a lot of football to be played, but I see DLS as the #1 seed, Pitt the #2, & SRV a lock for the #3 & #4. If CN runs the table, they’d likely be in the #3 or #4 slot. The rest of the field is likely to come from Cal, Liberty, Amador Valley, and maybe CVC, MV or MC in the dreaded #8 seed to open at DLS. If Heritage beats Freedom this week, they’d take Freedom’s place.
