Respect Marlon Blanton as a coach but I wish he would stop scheduling this game. At least until he has enough weapons to beat them like DLS. But I'm just a gotdamn poster!
Well, honestly I would rather Folsom play Sac High. But they lost to Sac the first time and struggled with them the 2nd time. SO I HIGHLY DOUBT Folsom SCHEDULES THAT CONTEST AGAIN.

In regards to Folsom continually scheduling Jesuit this to me and many others is basically the problem. I mean, I believe we're all in agreement that Folsom should beef up their pre-season schedule. However, under the old staff it seems as though they weren't willing participants in doing that. So I'm hoping & praying Jesuit forces them to beef up their pre-season schedule by not scheduling them at all.
Don’t be so hard on yourself my friend.....I like your posts!ChampRespect Marlon Blanton as a coach but I wish he would stop scheduling this game. At least until he has enough weapons to beat them like DLS. But I'm just a gotdamn poster!
I totally agree on NOT scheduling teams one normally walks all over.Placer was scheduling Rio Americano there for about 4 yrs and I didn’t see Rio making themselves any better from yr one to yr four,i’m glad Coach Montoya moved on because as you said “Those games did nothing to IMPROVE Jesuit,in our case Placer”.And trust me Placer is not Jesuit but could be on certain yrs (such as last couple yrs,being able to somewhat COMPETE rather than get THROTTLED....certain yrs!)but I see Placer program much BETTER than Rio Americano,and yet WE as fans were tired of scheduling Rio!It did NOTHING for us(Placer)and i’m quite sure it wasn’t fun for Rio!So I totally AGREE with you especially CHALLENGING yourself early,Placer this yr is NOT the Placer of say last 2-3 yrs not even close,they are YOUNG...BUT....I give the Hillmen much CREDIT for this yr scheduling teams such as Eureka from the north who they beat last Friday nite,a Eureka program that has done tremendously WELL last couple yrs,up in the North Section.And in weeks 3 and 5 the Hillmen have annual Santa Rosa POWER Cardinal Newman AND my frost and soph alma matre Bishop O’Dowd Dragons coming to Auburn!Very tough pre-season for the Hillmen,especially this young group and throw in Vista Del Lago and a Whitney from the SFL.I know Whitney not saying much for SFL representation BUT for this young Hillmen team......IT’S BIG for us,especially now that Placer plays in the Div 3 FVL with the likes of state champion Rio Linda and now all time SJS single season rushing champion Cameron Skatebo,Ponderosa,Lincoln,Oakmont,Nevada Union,for which now Placer is the SMALLEST enrollment wise at 1200 opposed to the rest at 1600 to 2000+.That is a far cry from PVL where Placer was 4th largest and dominated last 6 yrs.Placer won FVL last yr on maiden voyage but now it’s different....them scheduling the Cardinal Newman’s and the O’Dowd Dragons And even Eureka.....makes them better and grow up fast.....very FAST!Totally agree on CHALLENGING yourself!And if you’re a team that has high expectations for the year my suggestion to you is if it’s Placer you are plaing(You better bring you’re A game)because these very well coached Joey Montoya,Eric Rodarte Hillmen teams more times than NOT.....WILL bite you if you don’t.......that is a fact!!Bravo Placer on challenging yourselves!
Thanks,I was under impression they were NS,we rarely play NS teams let alone NCS.Yet this yr we play 3 from NCS...Cardinal Newman,Bishop O’Dowd and last week Eureka....thanks Bella for clarity!
I agree,I called them young primarily because of the number of great talent we graduated last yr,yes we do have several returning including 2 strong rb’s in Grassman and Whigam as well as a couple very good linemen the rest of the sr’s do fill in nicely along with the new talent from the jv team.This preseason schedule is challenging for sure,and from what I hear one of our best RB’s has yet to suit up,but will be ready first league game and also plays safety,he’s nursing a shoulder injury from last yr on the jv’s...I believe.But I agree our kids this yr will rep well,that was a lot of talent that graduated...for sure!Thanks for info!PS would appreciate meeting you 1227 Elevation,at Placer I sit 3 rows down right behind ticket booth on the end,the tall good looking guy in the BLUE chairs,lol.Go Placer.....My APOLOGIES everyone this is a Folsom/Jesuit thread,i’m out!
Good questions but I would feel the same way about those teams you mentioned. I would hope those teams wouldn't accept the challenge either.
I agree with you somewhat but if you continue to lose to Folsom why would a good player transfer into Jesuit before Folsom? I wouldn't!!! Wasn't there a rumor last year that Rutherford was seeking a transfer into Folsom? That to me is what's happening. The good players that are transferring are seeking to transfer to Folsom before any other school for the most part.
No brother TR I totally understand what you're saying. My point is this. I don't give a damn who takes Jesuits place. And I'm not blaming coach Blanton for scheduling Folsom I just wish he would have been a part of the movement to force Folsom to schedule up. By not accepting the challenge after losing so many times. And when you say who will take their place, sarcastically I would hope no one would unless it's one of the teams you mentioned above. And that would be a Cen10, Mission Viejo or a out of state power. That's how I feel and to be honest at that point I didn't care if Folsom played at all. That's just the competitiveness in me so don't take this the wrong way. However, they have a new sheriff in town now and I don't believe he's built like the last sheriff. So I expect Folsom's pre-season scheduling to be a lot different and a lot more challenging moving forward. Hope this cleared things up with you. If not, feel free to speak on whatever you didn't get.
No I'm making perfect logic and good ole common sense here because most kids would rather transfer to a championship program over a non championship program i.e. Mater Dei/St. John Bosco bs for example. And from my own high school experience this is exactly what I did. I had an opportunity to play for a really good team my senior year but I chose to play for another team over them for the simple fact they consistently won sections championships.
Now if they were in the same regions Folsom would definitely lose players to DLS. Facts!
When have the top Bay Area private programs b
It seems as if Jesuit is trying to turn their game with Folsom into some type of rivalry or love-fest.
Good stuff as usual TR. Nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree my brother. It's extra late here on the east coast so I'm going to leave this debate here. But rest assure, we'll get at it another day. Late
This was my point and I'm not shocked about this at all... And things will change if coach Doherty doesn't keep the "Blue Turf" dominate show going. Watch! Next level type kids follow coaches that win championships. Period!
