Swimming in what has been pretty choppy waters in the past, but the dynamic around this game is in an interesting spot.
They met in NorCal Open games in 2012 and 2013 with DLS winning both. The 2014 matchup that most everyone wanted didn't happen and we had to wait until 2018 for a regular season meeting that was likely the most hyped regular season game in the past 20 years in NorCal. De La Salle added 2019 and 2021 regular season wins before Folsom broke through in NorCals in 2021. The results flipped with Folsom winning in the regular season in 2022 with De La Salle winning NorCals.
All that to say, with each matchup, the allure of this series seems to drop. Is it that the more we see it, the more it is normal? Does the decreasing mystic of De La Salle make them just another top game? Has the change in scheduling for Folsom lessened the issue some had with the Bulldogs?
Yes, there was a poster on here who generated a lot of it, but the talk around this game seems quieter across the HS Football space in general.
