New SJS non-contact rule

At the January 2024 Board of Managers meeting, a proposal was passed that restructured the current sport calendar and the various periods. The proposal passed 54 in the affirmative and 4 in the negative. Here are the highlights of that proposal which goes into effect June 1, 2024.

  • Creation of one, universal dead period for all sports.
  • The dead period is now a non-contact dead period for ALL SPORTS which means that athletes cannot come into contact with their coaches (paid or volunteer) in any way or it will be a violation. The new zero-contact dead period is from July 1 - July 14 each year.
  • The use of outside agencies is not allowed to circumvent the dead period.
  • Limited periods leading into each season of sport for those specific teams (versus the three-week dead period from previous years).
  • During Period #3 (Fall Limited Period) those sports can petition the Section Office to operate as an outside group to compete in an event(s) for a national governing body.
  • 2024-25 Sport Calendar
  • After the season is completed, the school will declare if that sport is operating in a "limited" or "out of season" manner.

Nice idea. Who's going to enforce it?

Current state of DLS-Folsom

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.
