The JV Girls Lax team beat Miramonte last night 15 – 3, to continue their undefeated-in-league-play streak. League record: 8 wins, 0 losses. Highlights: An even wider range of players earned hard stats: 13 in all, (in the Campo game on Tuesday, 10 different players earned hard stats), including another new player to score her first goal of the season – #31 Sophie Loughran-Smith. #53 Melanie Toth had an especially quick-thinking goal after picking up a saved-by-Miramonte’s-goalie penalty shot that bounced back onto the field. The team had a very high number of assists this game: 7 + 1 feed (not an official assist because goal-maker took too many steps before shooting), whereas they’ve been averaging only 2 assists per game. This shows further development in working as a team, under Coach Emily Hook’s guidance. Other stats makers were: #15 Ellie Higgins‘ 4 goals + 2 assists, #4 Caith Wright’s 2 goals + 3 assists, #39 MacKenna Mullins‘ 1 goal + 1 assist, #35 Allison Roullier’s 1 goal + 1 assist, #18 McKenna Koepke’s 1 goal, #29 Holly Fleischmann’s 1 goal, #33 Piper Keeley’s 1 goal, #46 Elena Fromer’s 1 goal, #47 Kate Anderson’s 1 goal, first half Goalie Kate Hansen’s 5 saves (including 3 against penalty shots), for a 71% success rate, and second half Goalie Mollie Nelsen’s 4 saves, for an 80% success rate.

Next game: Tues., 5/1/12 Alhambra @ home. 5:30 game start.

The JV Girls Lax team beat Campolindo at home last night 13 – 5, to continue their undefeated-in-league-play streak.  League record:  7 wins, 0 losses.  Highlights:  The entire team shows steady improvement, and is gelling as a team, under the leadership of 1st year (to AHS) coach Emily Hook.  9 different players scored goals/assists, including 3 players who scored their first goals of the season:  #18  McKenna Koepke’s 2 goals, #35 Allison Roullier’s 1 goal, and #41 Mollie Nelsen’s 1 goal, (who’s usually our goalie).  #48 Kate Hansen was in goal first half, with a stellar first time performance:  5 goalie saves, (including 3 against penalty/free shots), for an 83% success rate.  Other stats makers were:  #15 Ellie Higgins‘ 5 goals, #4 Caith Wright’s 2 goals, #39 MacKenna Mullins‘ 1 goal, #45 Blake Balfrey’s 1 goal, #47 Kate Anderson’s 1 assist, #10 Bella Gotts‘ 1 assist, and second half Goalie Mollie Nelsen’s 1 save.

The Varsity Boys and Girls teams both beat Dougherty Valley.  Thus the Boys remain undefeated.  This was the team’s final league meet and the final league standings will be determined by the DFAL League Championship meet to be held on Wed, 9-May and Fri, 11-May.  Both Frosh/Soph teams lost.

The meet started with the sun shining and just a few clouds.  Both the Varsity Boys and Girls 4×100 relays were beaten in very close races.  In the Girls race, the timer had both teams with the same time, but with Acalanes in 2^nd.  The Boys lost by 0.08 seconds!  The sun was shinning but the meet did not start well!

At the end of the meet, the rain started to fall and the Girls 4×400 provided an exciting race.  Amy Hollshwandner started first and gave the team a lead.  Amy passed the baton to Caroline Wilcox.  Caroline maintained the lead and passed to Lisa Carrington.  Carrington did her best but Dougherty Valley had and excellent 400 m runner and the lead was cut down substantially.  Finally Carrington handed off to Kelli Berge.  The two runners were close, with Berge keeping the lead but not by much.  Then on the back straightaway, Berge took off and won by a large margin.

By the time the Boys were ready for their 4×40 relay, the fans had their umbrellas out and were encouraging the officials to start the race.  Michael Walton started for Acalanes and gave the team a lead as he did last week.  Senior, Walton passed to sophomore, Michael Wang.  Wang could not hold the lead but kept in very close contact to the Dougherty Valley runner.  Wang passed to junior, Tristan Tarpey.  Tristan again maintained a close 2^nd to the Dougherty Valley runner.  The final hand off was to junior, Adler Faulkner, who had about a 15 m gap to make up.  Going around the first turn it was questionable whether Faulkner could catch the DV runner.  But in the back straightaway, Faulkner turned on the jets and reeled in the DV runner and passed him coming out of the last turn.  Everyone gave a cheer and then scurried to take cover as the rain was coming down steady.  So the meet did not start well (except for the sun), but it ended well (except for the rain).

Varsity Boys tied Campo and beat Dublin (Boys are undefeated). Varsity Girls beat Dublin and lost to Campo.

The last two races of the night, the Varsity 4×400, were thrillers.  The Girls team was Amy Hollshwandner, Caroline Wilcox, Lisa Carrington, and anchored by Kelli Berge.  Hollshwandner led off with a good leg, not in first put close to the front, next Wilcox battled and maintained the team’s position. Carrington took off on the third leg and took the lead which Berge maintained for a comfortable win.

The Boys knew that before the relay they were behind Campo in points but close enough to tie if they could win the relay.  Michael Walton ran the first leg and gave the team a lead.  Walton passed to Michael Wang who did not keep the lead but kept the team in the race.  Wang passed to Tristan Tarpey who also battled as he got passed but kept in touch with the other teams.  Finally Tarpey handed off to Adler Faulkner and all three teams were very close with Faulkner in second.  Around the last turn with about 120 m to go, Faulkner passed the lead runner and did not look back.  The Boys team won the last race of the night to the cheers of the crowd.

The tile donor wall erected on the back of the library wall is scheduled for completion in November, so this is truly the final call for those of you that would like a tile.  Everyone is invited to participate.

If you haven’t seen the new Heaston Aquatic Center (AKA the ‘Beast’), we invite you to take a self guided tour and learn a little something about Don Parent Power. From the Bond issue to the Booster Bash, you’ve helped create something truly extraordinary and lasting for both Acalanes and the broader community.

Build it, and they will come.  Like the movie, the line of user groups seeking our facility is now longer than I have room to mention. Obviously, this is good for Acalanes, aquatic sports and the Lafayette community.

To all of our supporters, thank you for your confidence, commentary, and of course, your cash, in seeing this project through.   As part of a parent group we can only describe as ‘exceptional’, you are all invited to take your place on this perpetual tribute to the fortitude and spirit of living and parenting in Lafayette.

During the season, Acalanes lost to both Dublin and Miramonte in dual matches. The varsity team has played very well over the past two weeks. They redounded back with a strong win over Los Lomas and Alhambra in a tri-match. On April 21st , the team shot 180 (even par for the entire team) for nine holes at Blackhawk Country Club against Dougherty Valley high school. In the match, three players shot under par: Parker Ramsey and Will Brueckner shot two par under while Harrison Kim shot one under. According to Coach Scott, this is the best score recorded by an Acalanes team. Last Friday, Acalanes defeated both Dublin and Miramonte in a tri-match at Rossmoor Country Club with a 193 team score. Currently, Acalanes is in second place behind Dublin high school. Last week at the Transbay High School tournament, Acalanes High School placed fourth out of twenty two teams.  Will Brueckner placed fourth and Harrison Kim placed tenth out of 110 boys.
Congratulations to all the seniors on the golf team who have been accepted to a wide range of colleges for next year. We value academics first at Acalanes high school as we support the game of golf. Congratulations to Parker Ramsey who has been accepted at San Jose State University. Parker is only male golfer from Acalanes to earn scholarship to play golf for a Division I college team.

Acalanes 17, No. 2 Danville-Monte Vista 10
Staff Reports

No. 2 Danville-Monte Vista lost its first game in more than two years on Thursday, when Acalanes upset the Mustangs, 17-10, in a CIF-North Coast Section girls game. The game was tied at seven at the half before Acalanes scored 10 second-half goals to put the game out of reach.
 
Acalanes led, 7-4 with three minutes, 31 seconds to play in the first half, when Danville-Monte Vista scored three unanswered goals to go to halftime at 7-7, but Acalanes adjusted its draw strategy and took advantage of open players while Devon Frazer and Elizabeth Landry were double-teamed, according to Acalanes assistant coach Kelly Quinn.

In the final 25 minutes, Acalanes goalie Ariana Johnson held Danville-Monte Vista to three goals.

“They are a terrific team, very well coached and very disciplined in their approach to the game on both sides of the ball,” said. Quinn. “We were fortunate to have played them after having faced several of the other EBAL teams earlier in the season.”

The game was the season opener for Danville-Monte Vista while Acalanes improved to 3-3.
 
The Dons got multiple goals from five players, including five goals and two assists from Devon Frazier and three goals each from Elizabeth Landry (one assist) and Courtney Neff. Niki Quinn and Brooke Winslow each scored two goals.
 
For the Mustangs, juniors Paige Southmayd scored four goals and Taylor James scored three. Goalie Monica Wilson had 10 saves.

Danville-Monte Vista is off until March 22, when it visits No. 13 Carondelet.

The Acalanes Varsity baseball team shocked Bishop O’Dowd with a 9-1 victory on Friday. The Bishop O’Dowd Dragons, in their home opener, put UCLA-bound pitcher Joe Ross on the mound up against our Dons, amid a crowd of major league scouts. Acalanes was undaunted both by the number of scouts in attendance and the Dragon’s ace. The Dons got their first three batters on base against Ross, with hits by Connor Hornsby and Paul Nork. Ross threw as hard as 94 miles per hour on the night, however the Dons scored 3 runs on 7 hits off of Ross, including 2 doubles by Spencer Henderson. Henderson was also stellar on the mound, letting up only 1 run in 6 innings pitched. AJ Welsh added an RBI double in the 7th, followed by a 2 RBI single by Evan Heptig. In total the Dons finished strong, scoring 6 runs in the 7th inning. Andrew Merken closed out the game in the bottom of the 7th without letting in a run.

JV Baseball also won (at home), 14-2, thanks to a strong pitching performance by Neil Lang, and stellar games at the plate by Tyler Supple and Ryan Myers.
