Now that Folsom quarterback
Jake Browning already owns nearly every state and national passing record within his reach, the senior hopes to end a phenomenal prep career with something he and his teammates have yet to attain: a state championship. For that to happen, the fifth-ranked Bulldogs (14-0) need to win two more games, beginning with Friday's Northern California Division I regional championship against unbeaten Grant. Browning, a Washington commit, threw six touchdown passes in Folsom's 55-7 rout of Tracy in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I championship game last week. In doing so, he
broke the national record for touchdown passes in a career with 220. Meanwhile, Grant (14-0) is having its best season since 2008 when it beat Long Beach Poly in the Open Division state championship and finished the year undefeated. The Pacers survived a hard-fought 21-14 battle with St. Mary's (Stockton) in the Sac-Joaquin Division II final.
See live scoring updates of this game via QwixcoreJust the facts: Browning broke his own state record with 82 touchdown passes this season. He's 10 touchdown passes away from also owning the single-season national record. … Folsom started 14-0 and won its section crown in each of the last two years but was eliminated by De La Salle (Concord) in the Northern California Open Division regionals. That won't happen this year because De La Salle was placed directly into next week's Open Division championship game, and Folsom is playing this year for the Division I title.
