Coming into the weekend, I would have said this was NorCal's best chance to get a win. Folsom is aiming for its third state title since 2010
Game Thread: Folsom vs. Helix
- Thread starter Streak One
- Start date
Ball bounces off Ngata's hands on a WR screen and #68 for Helix gets the INT. Helix ball on Folsom's 4 yard line

CJ Hutton has a 32 yard TD, but gets called back on linemen down field.
Bennett's running ability will stress Helix's defense

This Is the Folsom team everybody has prattled on about all week? They frankly look soft, all flash. Any talk of them being better or able to hang with DLS is comical. Not physical enough to hang with DLS. Win or lose here tonight they aren't ready for DLS
Elijah Badger makes the catch, a nice move and then off to the races for a 70 yard TD catch. Helix leads Folsom 14-7 with 721 left Q1.
No they don’t, 1 long play and bad turnover.....otherwise Folsom looks to be the faster team
If DLS was gonna get beat I think this Folsom team would be the one to do it...........but we will never know
4 yard punt for Helix gives Folsom the ball on its own 39 yard line.
Helix held the ball for 4:58 that last drive

Joe Ngata take a slant and goes 49 yards for a TD. Both TDs have come against Isaac Taylor-Stuart.
14-14 tie with 114 left in Q1.
Key against Folsom is making the open field tackle. Helix has missed a handful already

I think they are.... I see size, speed and lots of playmakers
Ok great. But even you don't see "physical" and they aren't going to finesse DLS and win
Helix looks to be a physical team on paper, and it’s Folsom pushing them around right now......like I said 9 out of 10 times I think DLS wins, but this DLS team not at a 100% on offense can’t win I feel by running the ball all game
I didn't say I thought Helix was physical either. These teams are similar in approach. DLS beat both like a drum sorry. I tuned in to watch because all the chatter about this team and I'm not seeing.
Teams like MD ,SJB and Bishop Gorman would drag Folsom out to the deep water and drown them
Hutton with a 3 yard TD catch gives Folsom its first lead. Bulldogs up 21-14 with 906 left in Q2.
Outside of the long TD, Folsom has given up 32 yards.

MD, CC, and SJB would drown Folsom in shallow water. They wouldn't need to get them to deep water.
Lets let Folsom play this game first before trying to figure out fictitious matchups
Folsom is going to win this game going away but this version isn’t beating the big boys
Helix punts on 4-1 and its another short one. Folsom gets the ball on its own 38 yard line. 733 left in the half
Nobody is saying they won't win. Talk all week has been do they deserve the open, best NorCal team, ready to beat DLS. I haven't seen the play so I stayed out of conversation. But they could win this game by 50 and I still wouldn't think they hang with DLS. DLS brings a physical brand to the game, Finesse team wilt under that pressure. This is a Finesse team
All the chatter has come from a very small minority that appears to have biased opinions of Folsom. Majority on this board feels Folsom is good, but untested, so not nearly enough on them to make any real educated opinion on how they would do against the top dogs of CA.
