Cathedral Catholic says not so fast! We’re still in this thing. It’s been a crazy two-and-a-half minutes to open the second half.

End of second quarter: Folsom 28, Cathedral Catholic 7
Folsom half is one good half away from winning a state championship. It’s been their night so far.

Folsom extends it back to a three-score lead, and this is going to be a tough night for Cathedral Catholic if they can’t stop this Folsom offense.

Cathedral Catholic stops the bleeding for now with a big touchdown at the 5:14 mark of the second quarter. Now, they need to get a stop and try to get a two-for-one before the half to try and cut this to a one-score game.

Well, Folsom is doing just fine in the fog. Cathedral Caholic? Not so much. It’s been all Bulldogs so far.
And I to the mist….he was gone! That’s high school football’s best backup QB Brody Rudnicki who broke off his second TD run of the first quarter, a majestic 30-yard run, giving Folsom a 21-0 lead over Cathedral Catholic with 44 seconds left in the 1Q. Rudnicki also has TD pass. pic.twitter.com/azhjJHOeUI

Well, the fog is stopping Folsom from being aggressive in the passing game. They complete a crazy 32-yard touchdown pass, and they’ve doubled their lead early.
