This is about football in a football chat. What are you talking about? Numbers don't lie and Regalia had 1 winning season his last 10 years during WCAL league play.
WCAL 2024 Football Schedules
- Thread starter Irish_Cheers
- Start date
Manoah is who I heard was coming. I know most people will roll their eyes at my statement but if you just go and look at his instagram, he’s got a picture of Coach Lenny posted last May 2023 so it’s was not hard to figure out.
Well, we will see soon enough. They should be within the top 3 in WCAL but I think its too soon to predict them as "the team to beat in NorCal", assuming you mean top 1-3 in NorCal.

Good thing for Nor Cal and MD, SJB and BG that ganes are won on the field and not on Social Media….. 🤣
You need to take a step away from the pipe brother…. 🤣🤣
Riordan's Peter Langi I think was a transfer last year as well and had to wait out 3 games before playing.
Hopefully, Manoah will be able to play by the time league play starts.
In high school it's simple, a parent or person who goes to a teams games and follows that team. Unlike the pro's or college there is usually connection to the team or school.
CCS SOP for football runs thru Oct 2nd.

Notice all the hype and superlatives about Riordan this year aren't coming from any Riordan fans but posters outside looking in.
No doubt they have some talent this year but let's see how it plays out. How they do against their non-league schedule will be a good indicator on how good they are (@ McClymonds, @ St.Bonaventure-Ventura, @ Pitt).
Despite what FBIQ has posted, I have my doubts about their lack of fanship. I think AR has a really good chance of doing this year. And I am a fan of any WCAL team.
It's not AR's lack of fanship, it's just that they have little recent history of football success. They seem to have the pieces in place and just need to prove it on the field. Just a few years ago there was talk of how bad the football program was and some were suggesting they drop out of the WCAL due to dwindling talent and enrollment, poor facilities, coaching and admin support. Seems they have addressed most of those issues and are headed in the right direction.

It does seem pretty clear that SI is making a real investment in football as enrollment grows. The WCAL is no cakewalk, though. Don't minimize VC in these conversations. Mitty? Not sure. Bellarmine? Ouch. SHC? No. Once all eight WCAL rosters are firmed up (transfers in and out, sophs moved up, injuries, etc.), then we can speculate more intelligently.
Better than Jake Browning led Folsom bulldog team that put EVERY team they played that season on running clock? Even in the State Championship? That's a bold statement.
Offensively they should go up one more level with Mitchell coming off a record breaking sophomore season. They can probably average 50 points a game. More points, more fun right? He is likely going to break his own records that he set last year. As for team aspirations particularly in the playoffs, that will be determined how bought in their players are on defense. Not a lot of teams can stop Riordan on offense, but can their own defense stop anyone in the playoffs?
NO knock on JB but he threw allot of TD passes in garbage time. The Lyons kid is ranked pretty high... It isn't me saying they will be really good, it's Folsom folks....let the games begin
Oh I've been around this program for the last 20 years fairly close and I can tell you they are the real deal. I'm not a huge fan of some of the antics but rest assured this team is very talented and anything less than the norcal open bid would be a disappointment. Agree about JB comment. Only knock on Taylor and Richardson is that sort of stuff but its water under the bridge. Lyons is a freak of nature athlete and true dual threat QB. Lyons could play LB, Safety, and a few other positions and be a 4 star type recruit. Basically, a much better Justin Lamson from OR a few years back. Just a rare bird. Lyons single handily beat OR last year 2x. OR chance to get the monkey off their back and couldn't do it because of that kid.
Browning was like Joe Montana back there. Just cool and calm and a tremendous winner. I would say a much better passer at this stage with a weaker arm. Lyons has a lot of work to do in that area.
Long Beach Poly game isn't that far away. We shall see.
