Top 15 CIF Sac-Joaquin Section high school football rankings; Games of the Week (9/24/2024)

No. 1 Folsom swamps No. 2 Rocklin, then has Homecoming Game cancelled; St. Mary's climbs to third despite defeat

What makes Ryder Lyons so effective is that he's equally good in or at of the pocket, as he displayed Friday in a 63-20 opening game win of the 2024 season in Folsom. Lyons accounted for nearly 300 yards and five more score / Photo: Ralph Thompson

Unranked Christian Brothers' 37-36 win over previous fourth-ranked Inderkum was the biggest shocker of the week in the SBLive Top 15 Sac-Joaquin Section high school football rankings this week.

Isaiah Jordan rushed just seven times for 16 yards, but he scored three times for the Falcons, who also got 197 yards passing and two touchdowns from junior quarterback Deakon Holden. Inderkum got another big game from senior quarterback Ricky Cole, who threw for 185 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 88 yards and another score.

Despite losing, St. Mary's of Stockton moved up three spots following a 38-35 home loss to De La Salle-Concord, the state's No. 6 team.

St. Mary's actually outgained the Spartans, 450-300, but down the stretch couldn't stop the Spartans.

Top-ranked Folsom put on a clinic in a showdown with previous No. 2 Rocklin, rolling to a 51-14 victory as 5-star junior quarterback Ryder Lyons accounted for nearly 300 yards and five touchdowns. The host Bulldogs outgained Rocklin, 466-270.

Two days later, Folsom learned its upcomong scheduled game, a Homecoming contest versus Davis was cancelled due to safety concerns. Davis is down to 21 players because of several injuries.

Folsom wasn't happy about the turn of events and tried to get a game scheduled with national No. 1 Mater Dei, but the Monarchs declined the invitation.
