It's time for Folsom to take their show on the road... They need to be challenged and there is no better team than Bellevue of Washington to challenge their Cali dominance. Would love to see them against a Southern Power but Bellevue would be a great starting point for now... Centennial is in the same position as Folsom. They lost to Bishop Gorman early in the season but the news is that they were missing starters in that game. Be great to see CC schedule a home and away with a southern power in the near future. They have the athletes and system that would make for a very entertaining game against a power Georgia, Texas or Florida team...
It's time... Home and Away matchups

You sound scurred.... Nothing wrong with scheduling in state teams in which this has already been going on for years. Del Oro, Folsom, DLS and Serra have all scheduled So Cal teams this year and in the past. In the past the OAL team schedule Dorsey and Crenshaw. To be honest the in state teams are going to play each other at the end of the year regardless in the playoffs. It's time for the elite teams such as Folsom, Centennial and Bosco to step outside the state and have other states come to town. To be the best you have to play the best. It's time for Cali to show they are the best by proving it on the turf. Clovis East and now Clayton Valley coach Tim Murphy took his Clovis East team out to Texas a few years back and beat a good Midland team. It can be done.
Too bad Folsom couldn't have gotten these games these games the last couple of years when they were at full strength instead of after Folsom graduated 17 seniors. It is not time for Folsom to schedule these games. I can't believe that you would even post this now that they graduate all of these seniors/
Folsom grads 17 starters, they are going to have to rebuild, I doubt they will be in a position to take on any heavy hitters...I don't know how good the JV team is moving up, so it could be a while before Folsom becomes strong enough...The people they have on the bench will take over, but will they be as ready to do battle as the current team...????
"The people they have on the bench will take over, but will they be as ready to do battle as the current team...????"
Not if their last game is any indication of how much playing time reserves have gotten this season.

Since Folsom seems to be building a real powerhouse program, why wouldn't they just step up their scheduling regardless of how many starters return?

Totally agree mtnjohn..
It's more about the system than the players at Folsom anyway. Imagine if Folsom had Centennial type skill players on that roster. I don't think mtnjohn's DLS team would want to see Folsom with those types of players..

Typically the really year in and year out good teams are good year in and year out despite who they play. Having one really good graduating year typically follows up with an experienced team. A bunch of sophmores and junior who have played half a season worth of 3rd and 4th quarter varsity football.
Do you recall when the streak ended? 2004? Vs Bellevue De la salle had maybe 3 returning starters. It was well known that was one of there weaker classes yet they schedule out of state power on the road. Oh and they also scheduled Mark Sanchez Mission Viejo national ranked team. Dls will play anyone even if they are in a "down year".
DLS doesn't schedule top OOS teams if they don't have their best team. Or they may schedule another team when the team just graduates their strongest class. Why didn't DLS schedule Allen of Texas instead of Jesuit after losing their senior Qb? Tell me that one. Allen of Texas wins the MNC this year and DLS will end up 2nd. This year DLS may be slightly better than Folsom and that is ok. I'm fine with that. Folsom and DLS had great years.
jimmy,
Where are you getting your information from? De La Salle schedules any team regardless the players on their team. It's not about the talent they bring in, its always the system that the coaches teaches the student-athletes. You should know that if you have been following De La Salle. Maybe this upcoming season they'll be playing Allen next year as De La Salle has asked CIF to play in Texas next year. Hold your horses, wait and see, okay

Don't give me this BS about the "system." You can hid behind that all you want when you have a constant running flow of players coming in from all around the Bay Area. The reality for public schools is you have up and down years, regardless of the "system." DLS has a distinct advantage over nearly every school, so let's just put that out there and not hid behind this "system."
Keyshawn Johnson- "C'mon Mannnnn!"

They don't get kids from all over the Bay Area...there are no students from San Jose, San Francisco, etc...
Here is the way I see it. DLS has to schedule big time teams from out of the area, because there are very few teams willing to take them on in preseason. I think Folsom will have to start doing the same thing or going down to Southern California.
Most teams are NOT willing to travel out of state because of the cost. How can you justify having to spend that kind of money on plane tickets, hotels, meals, etc...if you could spend that money on other items that would make your team better.
I don't think most coaches even consider playing out of state. Perhaps Las Vegas isn't that far, and could be doable for SoCal teams, but it just isn't cost effective.
There are teams such as Grant, Folsom, and DLS who find themselves having to travel to get games because the local top teams don't want to play them. Of course there are always exceptions such as Del Oro, but they got spanked by a combined score of 93-3 over the two year series. What does that game do for DLS??? Del Oro found that scheduling too much over their heads can darn near cost them a playoff spot in a system that values wins over quality wins.
I don't think playing out of state is very realistic or necessary for 99.9% of the teams in California. As was stated...the National Championship is MYTHICAL!!!!

I get all that coach, but you have to step outside Cali if your Folsom now... These guys are breaking records on offense and we all know offense sells tickets. Maybe those tickets should be priced at $15 to $20 if they play a power such as Allen TX or North Colquitt GA... If promoted properly this game can make both teams a shit load of money. Pay-Per view coverage only... I would promote the hell out of a Folsom CA vs Bellevue WA match up... Any game of this magnitude would be promoted like a Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight. Make it a supply and demand type of event....

I have read on here that kids like Asiasi and Tagaloa played youth sports in the San Francisco/peninsula area. I assume both of their families moved to the East County prior to their starting high school as they both were complete studs even coming into their frosh year at DLS. I don't know the reasons their families relocated and it likely may have had absolutely nothing to do with football or sports, but the Spartans were sure fortunate that they showed up.
They also played in the Pittsburg youth system as Paloma has pointed out many times...and yes they are fortunate to have two players of that quality.
