First, today's weather: Fog in the a.m.; mostly sunny. High: 57 Low: 41. Here are the top stories today in Sacramento: Robbers hit a jewelry store on Florin Road on Friday afternoon and stole about $300,000 worth of jewelry. The suspects pointed their weapons at the owner and stole almost everything in the store. Everything was caught on camera and the owner says that surveillance footage is being given to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff's office robbery detectives are asking anyone with information about what happened to give them a call at 916-874-TIPS (8477) or the Communications Center at 916-874-5115. (KCRA3)After losing five straight matchups to De La Salle (Concord, CA) the Folsom Bulldogs shocked the host Spartans 28-27 on Friday night in the California Interscholastic Federation Northern California Division I-AA Bowl championship. Folsom football coach Paul Doherty said this week he was a De La Salle football fan because "I appreciate great football. ... They're the greatest sports thing going in the United States — any sport, any level, anywhere." Well, coach, your team just beat the best thing going. The Bulldogs are the first Sac-Joaquin Section team to beat De La Salle since 1978 Benicia pulled off that feat. It's also the first time in the 15-year history of the CIF playoffs De La Salle will not make it to a state title game. The Bulldogs are 4-0 in state title games. It's a great day to be a bulldog!
