Playon is also broadcasting the game (same as the section final)
AUGH! I can't find the game - I know, I know, it's probably super easy to find, but can you provide the link?
ETA: I found it..at least the "audio only" version: http://www.playonspo...ll/events/47098

go for a first down with 4th down and 10 yards to go on about their own 15-20 yard line.
Has this coach ever heard about punting the ball when you are backed up that far?

I quit watching the game during the first part of the 3rd period when the coach lets them

Actually, at the high school level it may rarely be worth punting if you can not reliably get back more than twenty yards of field position regularly and Folsom punts the ball less than once a game (although one in the first half got good distance because it went over the returner). And if you left it on you would have seen Folsom get the ball back and then drive the ball about 50 yards before Browning was harrassed into another interception. In 2010 Richardson called for a punt once in the sectional final and immediately gave up on it, and he was right to do it.
If I were to compare this to 2010 when Folsom played Grant, DLS has no player like they did in Moala but Folsom basically gameplanned to avoid him. No one was that big on DLS but they are obviously coached very well in fundamentals at every position. DLS corners played 5-10 yards off receivers and rarely blitzed because they wrapped up Folsom ballcarriers at first contact. I am really not sure they played outside their base defense all game. It was clearly the big difference in the game.
DLS always sets on the line quick like that and it is technically legal if they are set for a second. They are coached well enough that it comes out flawless most of the time and maybe they do get away with a bit of movement, I am not really going to comment on that but it is definitely requires disciplined coaching to pull off. I was worried if it would rain because in bad conditions they destroy teams because they can run the FB dive over and over and just run you out the building.
Regardless of the result, Folsom is a very young team this year and they should be proud. Winning the SJS Div I/II titles has become very difficult the last few years. St Mary's was the only team to get within a score of DLS all year and they lost in the second round to 5-loss Del Oro. It is still a good thing our section is getting shots at DLS now instead of simply automatically handing them a state bid every year. I still feel Folsom's 2010 team would have had a legit chance because they were better on defense and Dano was the kind of dynamic threat that can overcome talent gaps. They were also much more balanced on offense.

one-thousand on - nope...didn't get it. Not a full second...about...50 times in that game. Sorry that's not an exaggeration. Yes, it's legal if they are set for a full second and to be honest it was a great tell. If they were set for a full second you knew they were going to pass. Happened over and over again. Having said that, yes it was men vs. boys. Silly game if you ask me. D2 Sac area team vs. one of the premier state powers in the last...what...30 YEARS? Why is Folsom even in this game...boggles the mind...ridiculous.
Also...to Joe Davidson at the Bee...whatever man...I find it also hilarious that in a town where the Kings rarely win, that they win by 19 and are have a teeny little burb in the lower third of the front page only to have a headline like "Folsom blows up..." paraphrasing for dramatic effect. Nice..

On the contrary, that's not the way they have played all year, and for the past several seasons. They are to be applauded (the coaches) for staying with "what brought 'em here" instead of showing a lack of confidence in their boys and their success.
