Outlook: This should be the most impressive team that Folsom has ever assembled. With Jake Browning back behind center and plenty of other pieces in place, optimism and excitement abound around the Bulldogs. Expect another undefeated season and a rematch with De La Salle, which should be much closer than in years past.
