Elk Grove Football Loses to Folsom in Final at Sac State

"Elk Grove will return a lot of talent" next season, according to the Sacramento Bee.

After a long run with many hard-fought victories along the way, Elk Grove High's season ended the same way it did last year: With a loss to Folsom.

This time, however, they made it to the finals, which is one round further than they made it last year, which could mean good things for next season.

"Elk Grove will return a lot of talent, including Parker and quarterback Tommy Arnold, for a title run next season," said the Sacramento Bee's Joe Davidson in his story about the game.

Elk Grove lost 44-18 in the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Div. II Championship Game.

Former Elk Grove High player and current pro, Lance Briggs, tweeted the following after the loss: "To the young men out at eghs football. Be very proud of what u have accomplished this year. Heads up..you will get'em next yr. Herdpride."

The Sacramento Bee quoted the Elk Grove's coach, Chris Nixon, as saying, "Folsom is a complete team, a fantastic offense and an underrated defense ... [Jake] Browning is a special talent. I don't know if I've seen a better sophomore quarterback."

Thanks for the suggestion. The City is currently studying a new interchange off 99 and Whitelock,Read More and the project is in our General Plan. We’re also updating the Elk Grove Blvd. onramp—currently one of the most outdated on 99 in the region. Work will begin this summer.

An overpass and off/on ramps will be built at Whitelock Parkway after the mall is built, whichRead More should take place after the soccer stadium is built, which should take place after the city secures a professional soccer team. Elk Grove better make sure the professional soccer team is a women's team, or else LaWanna Montgomery will be mad.

Why not down to Grantline and then head back north along the freeway? Plus Kammerer will eventuallyRead More be widened all the way to I-5 and commuters can use that too. Take Grantline to Kammerer to Bruceville.
