Knew the headline would get cha!

Folsom comes into 2022 with a strong non-league schedule in Serra, Pitt, and DLS. Wins against all three Bay Area teams would put them in the drivers seat for another title run this year.

The 2022 squad is likely better than the 2021 squad. We've seen a lot of Folsom/DLS in the past and probably know what it looks like at this point. I am very intrigued to see the match up against Serra in the 1st game this year on the famous blue turf in beautiful Folsom.

Who's ready!?

BTW- Just re-watched the Folsom win over DLS playoff game from last year. Still proud of the Bulldogs for dominating both sides of the ball in a game AT DLS. I think it was the turning point in the program.

We are looking for a few more teams to fill our 16 Team Summer League.

League will run for 4 weeks with 3 games per every Tuesday night starting June 14th.
Games will run between 4:30-7:30 or 6:20-10:00.
$475 for 12 games and playoffs (additional 2 games)

JV League is on Thursdays starting June 16th with the same schedule.

So we have been trying to get into the Section 7 the last 2 years. Most importantly this summer. I cant get a return call/email from director King. I know its about who you know but i see teams going and I know that we are better than some teams that will be there. I have at least 3 kids that are getting recruited but I cannot get a invite. I would like to think that the Section 7 was made for NON- National HS teams that have HS players get seen but if we keep getting overlooked by the schools with the "BIG" name how do teams/programs like us get into the scene to compete and be seen?

Sincerely,

A Frustrated Coach (LOL)

Coaches,

We are going to again host a summer event for Boy's High School Varsity and JV teams at St. Ignatius HS on June 25-26th. We are not trying to be the biggest event but want strong teams to provide great competition. Teams already committed include: St. Ignatius, University, Serra, Lincoln and HMB. Your team(s) will get two 32 minute stop clock games per day and the schedule will be time efficient. Space will be limited so please let us know if you want a spot by reaching out to either one of us. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out.

Excited to celebrate the amazing career of some of the top players in Norcal one last time!

Hope to see you there!

Palo Alto beat Los Gatos 9-1 on Wednesday behind home runs from Henry Bolte, Danny Peters and Zachary Thom. Sam Papp gave up one run over six innings with five strikeouts.

The Vikings, which led 5-0 after two innings, will play at Los Gatos on Friday.

College Park (10-8) beat Campolindo (8-8) 12-1 and 6-0 this week. In the 6-0 win on Thursday, Michael Barnett threw a six hit shutout with 10 strikeouts.

Diego Emerling went 2-for-3 with a double and three RBI.

At the top of the DAL - Foothill Division, Acalanes is 5-1 followed by Clayton Valley Charter at 5-2 and College Park at 5-3.

He will be announcing his college commitment

My guess is Hawaii or New Mexico St. As these two schools seem to have been most recently recruiting him.

The Damian Lillard Classic has a couple of spots open in both the Gold division (4 games) and the Silver division (3 games). Dates 12/27 -12/29 for the Silver division and 12/27-12/30 for the Gold. If you have any questions please email damianlillardclassic@gmail.com.

Tamalpais beat Redwood 3-2 in eight innings in the first of two games this week. The two teams will play again on Friday.

Matteo Bellisimo had a double and reached base three times for Tamalpais. Kaiden Dossa got the start and gave up one run over five innings.

For Redwood, Charlie Welch went 2-for-3 with a RBI. Rory Minty gave up two runs (one earned) over six innings for the Giants.

Wherever I look I see that DLS has only 7 games on their schedule. Does anyone have a more updated schedule for the Spartans?

Claxton was one of the best players in NorCal this past season and could prove to be a really quality pickup for CPP.

He absolutely blew up in the first few weeks of AAU and in the last week has been offered by Kansas, Oregon, Texas, Indiana, Tennessee and UConn amongst others.
