Joe Curry

SportStar Of The Week | Folsom | Football | Senior •  In his first varsity start at quarterback, Curry showed no signs of fear or uncertainty with the program’s high-powered offense resting on his right arm. In fact, Curry turned in the second-best debut for any QB in Folsom history with 564 yards passing and six TDs. He connected on 35 of 42 passes and tossed all six of his scoring strikes in the first half as the Bulldogs opened up a 41-16 lead over Idaho state football power, Coeur d’Alene. Only Jake Browning’s 689-yard, 10-TD performance in 2012 was a better first game for a Bulldogs’ QB. And the 564 yards was the fourth-best effort in school history. Curry connected with nine different targets, but had his favorites in the opener. He hit sophomore Joe Ngata nine times for 139 yards, and senior Drake Stallworth had a career day with 10 receptions for 246 yards and four TDs, including a 77-yarder. Curry and the Bulldogs host Jesuit-Carmichael this week and play five of their first six games on the team’s familiar blue turf where the latest Folsom QB will look to pile up more statistics and wins.
