The Rams are going with junior Jake Dunniway as its starter, according to the Stockton Record. They open up with Cardinal Newman on Saturday night.
St. Mary's names starting QB
- Thread starter Streak One
- Start date
Very tough matchup for Newman. The Rams almost beat Grant last year in SJS D1 finals. For a D3 school Newman plays one of the best preseasons in norcals. The rams are going to be too much in my opinion.
St. Mary's schedule reflects the game for Friday night, not Saturday night. Streak, where did you see the game posted on the (Stockton) Record that the game has been moved to Saturday? I am seeing it on Friday based on latest blog from the Record.
I anticipate the CN vs SMS game to be much closer than last year's game (35-15). The Rams only return 6 starters, just 1 on defense. Just as they went with the junior for QB, the rest of the team is very young, mostly juniors. The key player to watch for St. Mary's, slot WR Dewey Cotton, is also a junior. But, SMS's junior class has much talent/skill, and the sophomore class is not too shabby either, with just a few sophomores moved up to varsity. The big test will be the Rams defense. Last year's Ram defense was one of the best in a while, anchored by MLB, Khalil Hodge, who led the state in tackles. Sure going to be some big holes to fill. Besides #17, Dewey Cotton, I anticipate much yardage from senior RB #7 Brandon Zaunbrecher and sophomore RB #22 Dusty Frampton, sporting the same # worn by SMS alum Doug Martin (starting RB with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers). As, St. Mary's likes to run a balanced offense, I anticipate we will see more offense on the ground from the Rams than in the air, at least until Jake settles in. I really like this decision because it sets up well for next year. Still, I know the focus will be on this year and more specifically, this week. CN already has a game in the books, having beaten Del Norte (62-19). If CN can take advantage of St. Mary's reloaded defense, this could be a very interesting game. If not, I feel confident the Rams' ground attach will take care of business. Look for St. Mary's RB's to force CN to crowd the box and open up the field for Jake to get some passes in, too.
Congrats to Jake! GO RAMS!

You are right bulldogmgc. CalPreps has the game as Saturday, but it does look like it will be Friday.
Thanks for the heads up

Anybody going? I'm curious to see how Brookshire has developed as a QB and if he will be recruited as one or an athlete? I didn't realize the Rams had been so senior strong last year. Makes sense given how far they went.
The leaves will soon turn yellow and red in Stockton and the bullets will subside due to shorter days and longer nights. The heat of the summers brings out the best in that all American city.

According to the slideshow above- "Stockton was rated one of the most miserable cities to live in the country by Forbes in March, 2010."
I guess Forbes has it all wrong! LMFAO!
At least Newman gets to stay home and play St. Mary's. That would be a major burn to have to play in Stockton.
