DO will be good next year as well. Wow. I'm still in a little shock. I mean they absolutely took the air out of Camarillo.
F%$# Tennis!!!!!!! I don't think the South saw that one coming!!! Lets go North!!! By the way the announcers on the TV are horrible!!! Great Defensive game by Del Oro.
Dammit if coach Tayior would only stop scheduling so aggressively during the season. It is killing his team, it's obvious based on the end result.....a SBG championship! Congrats.
So a 6 loss NorCal team beats an undefeated SoCal team with an offense thats been compared to Centenial Corona. One could almost assume that the North is deeper and the south is just the Pac 5. I just posted this on the SoCal board to stir up the nest a liitle bit. Go Bellarmine!
Caught last few minutes of it on tv when arrived home & looked like a terrific game [followed posts on NCP's on Iphone while on road].
What irony! I'm a CCS guy & after the Bell's narrow last minute win it seemed from posts like so many SFL fans simply wrote off Del Oro for losing to a WCAL team. What a testament to the team & coaches to come back like they did and take down an UNDEFEATED SoCal team. Cheers for Del Oro! They have certainly earned my respect.
Congrats to Del Oro what a great season! I know you are enjoying a cold beer Smashmouthrick!
Got to say..that was a magical season for DelOro...killer non-league schedule and just played through a tough start (2-6) and adversity. Great story and a testament to never quit...Got to say iy=t was a pleasure to follow this team this year. Great respect for the DelOro program...great coach and team. The school, the City of Loomis and the teams and family should be proud of what they accomplished and the fashion they did it. Well done Golden Eagles...
Congrats to Casey Taylor, D Coord Steve Birch, rest of the coaches & that senior class. Most on this forum know Del Oro as a Sac area accomplished program for decades now, 10 section titles, 2 Bridesmaid CIF finishes recently. Casey accomplishes success with mad preparation, very tough scheduling, off the field and classroom accountability, tireless commitment, belief in the process and that football requires 48 min of effort and belief. There's rarely been a college prospect on the field, let alone D1, though that will change IMO. His best players usually always play both ways. They generally win by grinding you down, out coaching the other staff - game prep/halftime adj's. This year they found they had a talent at QB and adjusted the offense to mirror his talents. Mad props to the OL and DL tonite, OL got to 2nd level and looked like the holes were there all night. I don't even have to look at the Socal board, they are talking about Heelgate, Cam's heel just on the edge out of bounds no call on a big TD, it was a huge play, but it's HS football, no replays. Del Oro got jacked more than a dozen times on poor officiating this season, if it was karma or payback then it was sweet, and the night belonged to the Golden Eagles. I don't know if the better team won, but the better coached team won and the team with bigger hearts won. This win for Del Oro better be a wake up call to the rest of the Region's coaches to raise the ante and schedule up in August and September. D.O. was a was a six loss team that will proudly raise a state championship banner in Bonner Gym. Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime has worked for this team and others. You get your a** handed to you by teams like DLS, but it's forges young men to play DEF like they did tonite on the biggest HS football stage in our State.

Wow, a Kevin sighting! How are you my friend? Have not talked in eons. Thanks for the acknowledgement!
If this didn't put the exclamation point on that topic, I don't know what will. Anybody that questions or criticizes Coach Taylor's scheduling philosophy going forward should lose their posting privileges -- on the spot.
The Del Oro team we saw tonight and over the past 8 weeks was much different that the one we saw early in the season. No disrespect to Punahou, Bellarmine or Folsom, but I don't think any one of them could beat this Golden Eagles team. The only loss Del Oro had this season that they wouldn't be able to avenge was DLS, although I do think they could fare better than 41-3.
Coach Taylor and his staff tweaked things and found something that worked. Their 3 best offensive players (all JR's) grew up and improved a lot.
I think they've got a real shot at carrying this success over to next season.
Congrats to Del Oro, I said 3rd time would be a charm for them.
Of course the SoCal faithful are already talking about how this was a weak SoCal team. Leave it to the SoCal folks to always stomp on NorCals parade. Gets kind of old cause we all know SoCal has way more depth than NorCal. They take the fun out of winning lol.

The same SoCal fans that are trying to lighten Del Oro's accomplishment against a "non-PAC5" team are also gravy training Mission Viejo's (also not a PAC-5 team) win over the Bells.
I'm quite certain that had Del Oro lost, the attitudes would be drastically different and the @#$% talking would have ensued full force.
Fact is, Camarillo is 15-0 against SoCal competition and 0-1 against NorCal.
TR, always like the factual & interesting perspectives you bring to the boards my friend.
Not sure I can add more than what has already been said here but following DO football closely for the past 17years I can say with conviction that DO's process works.
Some have criticized DO for an antiquated offense and that they need to move to the spread to be successful. Some have constantly criticized DO for their scheduling. I can go on with this but through thick and thin DO stuck with the process and believed and the result speaks for itself.
Congrats DO you have always had my respect!
So looking forward to next year!

I think on the scheduling issue, the public looks at it different than Del Oro and people like ThunderRam. Most will say that Del Oro beats themselves up early, plays with fire in qualifying for the playoffs and the reward of being prepared for games like Rocklin, Liberty and Camarillo is outweighed by the risk.
However, I think the culture at Del Oro is if we can't win at this stage, nothing else matters. If they can't beat Granite Bay in a do or die game or go on the road to beat Wood, then they weren't good enough anyway. Everything is built toward playing their best on the section, NorCal and state stage.

I would take your post one step further Streak. I get the sense Taylor and the kids want to be challenged to their fullest. They want to see how far they can push themselves.
Contrast that with Folsom who seems more interested in passing records and an undefeated season. Two different philosophies.

That is exactly right Streak. As CT always says "to be the best you have to beat the best". Personally I would not want it any other way.
We need TR to give a speech about this topic at the next CIF/SJS/SFL coaches meeting ;-)
And it think this goes a long way to the perceptions of both programs from the outside.
On a bigger scale /national level, DO is respected, F bomb is laughed at quite regularly.
With the new playoff format there is no reason not to scedule difficult games pre season as long as you win your section......or come in second if you in the CCS
Actually, not true. On the National board, Del Oro is quite respected for their scheduling philosophy and is lauded by pretty much all. Because they haven't won most those games or their prior State Bowl games, they aren't considered a Nationally relevant program -- nor should they be -- but they are right there with Grant Union as the most respected NorCal programs after DLS.
The only one's criticizing their scheduling are local haters. There's only a couple of them and everyone knows who they are.
