Ready to go for tonight.

Amanda Muse of Heritage in WBBall?

Lepolo was a standout player at Nike Nationals and is the third recent local player to head to the Cardinal joining Haley Jones and Hannah Jump.

Byrd saw his stock continue to get higher following the summer. Very versatile player.

Julia Riley was one of the rising prospects in the region coming out of the summer.

Does anyone know if tickets will be going on sale soon or are they already sold out? I have checked the Folsom Athletics website and I dont see anything listed for purchasing tickets for the DLS game. I checked the other day and no games at any level were showing for verses DLS ...however I did see Frosh pop up today for next Thur.

Or maybe varsity is only first come first serve on game day?

Thank you!

Here are the games for this week. Picks are due by 7:00 PM on Friday

St. Frances-Maryland at De La Salle
Pittsburg at McClymonds
Rocklin at Granite Bay
Pioneer-Woodland at Woodland
Central Catholic at Oakdale
Hilmar at Escalon
Menlo-Atherton at Oak Ridge
Bellarmine at Serra
Windsor at Benicia
San Ramon Valley at Foothill-Pleasanton

Welcome back Friday! Some good games tnite. A few that jump out at me.

Cardinal Newman travels to St Mary’s, Stockton in a battle of top 25 teams. This will be a tough test for Newman which as steadily improved each week having won 3 in a row I will take st Mary’s 35-24. Too much for young cardinals to handle.

Oak Ridge vs Granite Bay.
Not a perennial top 25 game like in prior years but one that should be fairly even in the SFL. Oak ridge is coming off a bad loss to Folsom while GB has some solid momentum after DO win. I think Granite Bay takes care of OR 35-21. I said it before.. Taylor inherited one of the weaker Oak Ridge teams in last decade.

Rocklin vs DO
4-0 rocklin takes on 4-1 DO. While I think rocklin comes in heavily favored I never take DO lightly. If I was going to a game around the SFL this would be the one tnite. However I will be at Granite Bay/OR for other reasons.

Folsom Vs Grant… not long ago this would be the ticket in norcal. Now I could see a running clock in 2nd half..

I’m sure tons of other good games!

Hornung was one of the Bay Area's top players during the spring season.

After some injury issues, Elijhah Badger (Folsom) has hit the field for AZ State. So cool to see!

1 rush for 17 yards and 1 catch for 6 yards. Bright future.

D Ngata also had another solid game for the Sun Devils!

Go Folsom!

SF at SHC 7PM Friday at Kezar = Winner SF 28-7
Mitty at Riordan 2PM Sat = Winner Riordan 20-14
S.I. at VC 6PM Sat = Winner VC 28-14
Bells at Serra 2:30 Sat = Winner Pick'em, Serra by 31-24 or Bells 24-20

3 games are fairly easy picks this week and the Serra-Bells game will answer many questions. Bells are a well disciplined team that executes very well while Serra is loaded with talent, but at times suffers too many mistakes/penalties. Bells have a good run game and if can control the clock could present the Padres with some problems. Serra must be able to establish the run early and not commit turnovers [ie: INT's].

Game is closer than the score indicates and been a fairly evenly played game with Serra having several big plays including a beautiful pass on the Padres first TD. Bells have had trouble running against Serra so far and most of their success has been on short passes. Serra has continually put pressure on Bells QB and sacked him several times. Serra gets the opening KO 2nd 1/2.

Would be a nice job keeping Garcia in the region. For me, he is one of the top quarterbacks in NorCal this season

Pretty good one on YouTube with Benicia-Windsor
