They have never had the talent to be within 35-42 points of those teams.
You speak nonsense as far as I’m concerned.
Folsom played evenly with DLS that year, and arguably would have had the upper hand to beat the Spartans had a pivotal play been ruled correctly.
Mater Dei ended up beating DLS by 14 in the open. I see no reason to suspect Folsom couldn’t have performed similarly, even if 7-14 points worse. But Folsom had so much skill talent that season they may have even fared a tad better.
Regardless, even if someone doesn’t believe the same, saying they never had the talent to be within 5-6 scores is something you could say about pretty much every other program in America sans 5 or 6.
Hell, I’d argue that the majority of DLS’s ”streak teams” from 1992 - 2003 and any of their very best teams from 2006 to 2019ish would have had a hard time competing with the SJB and MD teams of the past 8-9 years. So what’s really the point?
I disagree. 2014 Folsom could play with anyone in California. That was the best team I’ve ever seen in the SJS. That includes all those great Pacers teams in the 2000’s and the Elk Grove team with Lance Briggs.
Agree on 2014 Folsom competing against anyone in CA that season.
Disagree strongly that 2014 Folsom was better than those other teams or best SJS team ever. They were not. GHS alone had at least 5 teams with superior overall talent And that Elk Grove team with Briggs, Dinwiddie, Callaway, Cottengim, etc, were every bit as good, if not better as I’d contend.
