Folsom 3 bounces over, Lions ball…. Lewis drives past the gambling D and scores…. 62-53. Folsom turns it over…. the game is over. Late score before the shot clock, 64-53 final.
Thank you kiddman32 for all the updates. That's fabulous that you are doing this. Another upset for the McClatchy Girls BB Team.
Interestingly, Kimmons transferred to McClatchy from Folsom because she couldn't get enough playing time at Folsom off the bench. Must be sweet for her to avenge her former team.

Folsom High’s varsity girls’ basketball team was trying to win their second section championship in three years on Friday at Golden 1 Center, but lost to McClatchy, 64-53.
The Bulldogs trailed for all but 1:20 of the game, by as many as 15 points early in the third quarter, as they couldn’t stop Nina Cain, McClatchy’s star post player, who scored 22 points and had 12 rebounds in the game.
Folsom came all the way back and cut the lead to two points as late as 51-49 with 5:15 to play in the fourth quarter, but couldn’t get any closer to the lead.
“We knew what the challenges were in front of us,” Folsom High coach Lynn Wolking said. “Losing Dixie a week ago, our best interior defender, hurt us. We fought and came back and got within two points. I’m proud of the girls.”
Folsom did everything they could to slow Cain, but nothing seemed to work. The team got in foul trouble, as Avery Masters and Jada Tupou both had three fouls in the first half, while Masters picked up her fourth foul in the second half, as she played in less than half of the game.
“All the foul trouble early in the game hurt us,” Wolking said. “It was frustrating because Nina was too strong inside and we couldn’t stop them from scoring. Bre (Kimmons) played the best basketball I’ve ever seen her play.”
Kimmons, who played for the Bulldogs last season, was brilliant for McClatchy, as she scored 21 points and provided the secondary scoring that McClatchy needed along with the play of Cain.
“Credit to McClatchy and their coach Jeff, they were the better team,” Wolking said.
Besides missing McLanahan, which was obvious, the Bulldogs didn’t shoot many three-pointers, as they made three-of-only seven attempts.
