He steps down after 31 years and 562 career wins. Good look at him in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.

The junior outfielder is playing well for Beyer, which is 12-6 and leading the Modesto Metro Conference. He is hitting .500 with 11 extra base hits and 23 RBI and has been noted for some defense in the Modesto Bee last week.

Was reported last week, but Louis Franklin stepped down at Tokay HS to take the head coaching position at South Tahoe HS.

Cal
Columbia
Harvard

Oregon
Penn

Not all 10 schools have offered. Definitely looking at high academic schools.

Coaches and veteran board members. Is G61
tarnishing Folsom's accomplishments and image?

Are programs less likely to schedule with Folsom because
they are sick and tired of G61 and do not want their programs
degraded by him?

At some point do other Folsom faithful speak up and tell
him to shut his mouth?

Would love to here what others think.

Many of us know or know of Rex Peters, the UCLA Asst. coach...

A sad article worth sharing

Any reports on how the local aau teams and players did in Dallas this weekend?

Folsom offensive lineman Jonah Williams has committed to Alabama. Big (literally) haul for Alabama to get Williams out of California.

Pacific got a commitment on Sunday from Piedmont 2015 point guard Ameela Li. Injuries halted her stock after a good start to her career, but was big for Piedmont down the stretch.

Prolific Prep 2016 SG Josh Jackson has narrowed his list to 10 schools. They are Arizona, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan State, North Carolina State, North Carolina, UCLA and Auburn.

He is playing for One Nation this summer.
