7-0 GB after 1. Impressed by GB.
Can’t believe Vacaville lost to them by a missed last second FG. It’s nice to see Granite Bay is up there with the top teams in the SFLDan they look more athletic and overall a little stronger. They struggle throwing from what I can see.
Sounds like a great game Larry. Looking forward to the OR/Folsom slugfest!Really a great game. It was the sort of nail bitter I recall from the old days. Football games today are like video games at the HS level with scoring. This was a grind it out game where the MVP's were on defense. In the end Baldachio proved to be the difference. He can make so many broken plays into positive ones. He made some bad reads in the first 1/2 and into the 3rd but stepped int up in the 4th spreading it out offensively. GB had a perfect game plan. They largely controlled #2. I would not want to play GB down the stretch.
OR system is in really good shape all the way down to Jr trojans. If you ask me they are the up and coming program. The fresh QB they have is an alsolute beast. He will be 6"5 225 by the time he's a jr. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts next year as a soph.
I think Joe Davidson of the Sac Bee needs to rethink his NorCal rankings. Same with CalHi Sports. I don’t see how they justify Oak Ridge being ranked higher than Pittsburg. OR has now struggled against Vacaville and Granite Bay and Pittsburg manhandled Vacaville. Having Folsom on their schedule shouldn’t justify it either. Plus, if Folsom struggles vs. OR, that should play a factor when determining who hosts the NorCal D1-AA game which will probably be out of OR, Folsom, San Ramon and Pittsburg.Sounds like a great game Larry. Looking forward to the OR/Folsom slugfest!
No dispute here about the toughness of OR or the type of program they have. But rankings seem to matter when it comes to decisions like home field advantage. Especially in regards do the two hour drive from the East Bay to Folsom area.Paloma, OR doesn't have the elite athletes that Pitt has. They would probably struggle with them. OR is just a good HS football factory with a few UC Davis/Sac State/ Cal Poly type kids. They have a UNLV lineman commit but UNLV is horrible. Oak Ridge will outsmart and outplay better teams but if its a talent game then I will got with the speed team. For example, OR would struggle with a team like Sac High IMO. OR will have a very hard time with the Ngata brothers from Folsom. But who doesn't... For now OR is a solid top 10 team in Norcal and is good enough to beat anybody except DLS on any given night.
Folsom vs Oak Ridge in 2 weeks for the game of the year in Norcal. We will see.

Folsom has athletes?Folsom has a significant athletic advantage.
The SFL is so tough. Grind it out.But to be honest guys Oak Ridge dominated time of possession against GB, racked up a lot more yards, missed 3 FG's, and thru a pick in the end zone. I honestly think they were the better team and probably should have won by 14-17. The game could have easily been 24-7. Trust me I walked away impressed with GB. Not sure what an elite athlete is today but GB has several. You don't get offers from schools like UCLA, CAL, Wash, Nebraska for not being one. I'm just glad i made the decision to go. Best game I've been to this year. Oak Ridge seems to play Folsom tougher than what you would see on "paper" Its a rivalry game. Probably not a lot of love between the 2. Like Thunder said... you gotta play it out.

Sitting next to each other at the Palladio theater!This is very true as these kids are literally separated by a County line. A move of 100' can change alliances. Kids have competed against each other since grade school and many have friends of friends, attend the same church and go to the same theaters. That said, OR hasn't beaten Folsom on the field since 2006.
