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.

FINAL CUTOFF 10-31.  For more information contact:

The varsity golf team will play its post match season on Monday May 2nd in the DFAL league tournament at Lone Tree Golf Course in Antioch.  Currently, Acalanes is in second place behind Dublin High School
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.
