I believe it was Joey Roberts' third start. Kenny Leuth got hurt in the Del Oro game

 

[WWHS44]

The point is Rocklin was without their starting QB also......

The point is Rocklin was without their starting QB also......

I’ve never seen a team dominated like rocklin did. to Folsom that first matchup. I could have played QB for Thunder as an old man and it wouldn’t have mattered. Rocklin will need to play better then they did against st Mary’s to keep there great streak alive. Believe they have won 17 in a row….
Look for this to be a better game. I will be out there. I say rocklin 28 and Folsom 17. It’s hard to beat a good team 2x but after what I saw in the jesuit game I just wasn’t that impressed with Folsom even with tremain.

 

[Rocknrolus 95361]

I pointed out earlier that Nicholson from Manteca was a kid to watch. I was disappointed he was out for Oakdale game. He reminds me of the Rice kid from CC a few years back. Will be at St Mary's Friday.
Everyone says it's hard to beat the same team twice? Will be first time at St Mary's in 49 years. Second worst weather at a game.

Question for St Mary's fans. What is parking like there? I heard parking passes all gone?

What planet are you on? And how can you be that off on a prediction?

Folsom completely DOMINATED Rocklin. Rocklin put up THREE points on Folsom.

Folsom lost to Rocklin ONCE in a decade AND without a starting QB. Huge different. Folsom defense got better and coaching matters.

Don't ever forget who runs the SJS.

Pasty: Think he was talking about the regular season matchup

Very satisfying. If you have been around the programs for the past 10 years, you will understand all of the underlying reasons why it is so satisfying to put a real stinger on Rocklin. That sucker really has to burn over there in Placer County.

I know he was.

The point is he was running his mouth about Folsom this year in many different threads and boasting about Rocklin. He even predicted a Rocklin 2 TD win tonight. Rocklin got dominated like no other team I've seen in years.

So satisfying brother.

They talked and talked and talked. You'd thought they won won super bowl by beating Folsom without a starting QB, at home, once this decade.

They got choked out tonight in a game that exemplified Folsoms area dominance over the last decade.

Highway 80- never forget who is king. Ever.

The Thunder won 40-7 in the regular season in the first full game without starting QB Kenny Leuth for the Thunder!.

Didn't even get this right.

How you feeling after tonight's beating lol

I've NEVER seen a team absolutely BEAT DOWN a team on defense like Folsom did to Rocklin tonight. Never forget.
