WOW!!!  What an incredible event.  The unified soccer game between Acalanes HS and Miramonte HS was incredible.  It was a great time to be had by the athletes, the coaches and everyone that supported the program.

I want to extend a gigantic thank you to Katharine Walton and Leadership.  Their presence and positive energy was noticed and greatly appreciated.

There were many staff members in attendance and I want to highlight the support from Travis Bell, Andy Briggs, Erin Pope, the entire main office staff and Will Benham-Baker for waving pom poms for the entire 25 minutes for the cause.

Much of this was made possible by the leadership from Holly Thompson, Jasy Radmanovic and Nick Lee, coach and 2011 graduate.

In previous emails, I mentioned Unified Soccer.  Well, the first game is Thursday at 3:15 pm.  Acalanes HS will host Miramonte HS.  This is the “Feel Good” event of the year to date.  Please, take the time to come out an support this magnificent effort.  The game is short so I advise arriving close to 3:15.

PHOTOS: Holly Thompson

The Acalanes High School District is beginning the Unified Sports program this year and the first sport is soccer.  This program is for students in the life skills or learning skills classes that are not able to participate in the regular athletic programs. We currently have ten unified athletes and nine unified partners that are varsity soccer players. The first two practices occurred this week and it was phenomenal.  The unified athletes are having a great time.

Coach Nick Lee (2011 Acalanes alumnus) said, they are improving at an incredible rate.  Jasy Radmanovic is the other coach and Holly Thompson is the director for the district and our site.

A huge thank you to our unified partners that are donating their time and have worked with the athletes with great care and compassion.

Caroline Newman (Acalanes Girls LAX), a Girl Scout from Lafayette, is partnering with the Monument Crisis Center and the Blood Centers of the Pacific to hold a Community Blood Drive on Monday, July 28 at the Monument Crisis Center in Concord.

Caroline, who is going to be a senior this fall at  Acalanes High School, is working on her Girl Scout Gold Award project: Blood Donation Awareness Campaign & Community Blood Drive.

The Girl Scout Gold Award represents the highest achievement in scouting, recognizing girls who demonstrate extraordinary leadership through remarkable “Take Action” projects that have a sustainable impact on their communities.

In a leadership group last year at Acalanes, Caroline became involved in the school’s Healthy Choices Board that helps organize, among other things, an annual blood drive.

“After donating blood for the first time last year,  I learned that about one in seven people entering a hospital need blood,” Caroline said. “Nearly 60 percent of the population is eligible to donate blood, but less than 5 percent actually donates.”

“In my conversations with medical professionals from the  Blood Centers of the Pacific, I learned that once people donate they are likely to become lifelong donors. Several of the reasons people do not donate include little opportunity, fear and lack of understanding of the need for blood,” she said.

“With this new insight and an interest to help, I decided to develop a plan to build awareness for the need to donate blood, as well as to communicate the simplicity of actually donating.”

The  Monument Crisis Center in Concord is acting as the host site, and local businesses, including BMW of Concord and Fry’s Electronics, are joining in as active participants, Caroline said.

The blood drive will be in Monument’s parking lot at at 1990 Market St. To schedule your appointment, visit www.bloodheroes.com.

NOTE: This sports clearance is not a doctors visit and in no way substitutes for regular medical examinations or annual physicals.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., – USTA Serves, the national charitable foundation of the United States Tennis Association, announced today that two local high school students were awarded either an $8,000 College Educational Scholarship or a $1,000 College Textbook Scholarship. The Foundation has granted 49 high school students a variety of college scholarships this spring, totaling $330,000.

The honorees were selected from applicants throughout the country on the basis of their commitment to academic success, to their local community and to their participation in tennis.  An objective of USTA Serves is to encourage America’s youth to pursue their goals and highest dreams by succeeding in school and becoming responsible citizens.

USTA Serves awards the College Educational Scholarship annually to high school seniors who have excelled academically, demonstrated community service and participated in an organized tennis program.  The $8,000 scholarship will be awarded over four years to students entering a two or four-year college or university.  The year’s recipient selected among the scholarship winners from across the nation is Kyle Schmidt of Kelseyville, Calif. 

USTA Serves established a College Textbook Scholarship which provides a one-time award of $1,000 to assist students in purchasing textbooks or supplies. This year’s recipient is Daniel Cardiff of Lafayette, Calif. 

“USTA Serves is proud to award these students for their academic achievements and tennis success,” said Dan Faber, USTA Serves Executive Director. “It is exciting to know that with these scholarships, they can continue to prosper. We commend them for their efforts and wish them a future filled with greatness on and off the court.”

Thank you and Happy New Year

TIME SENSITIVE!

Fantastic news!  We are very excited to bring you our official “Gift Matching” web page on our  http://acalanesboosters.com/  web site.  The employee Matching Gift Program could easily be one of the year’s largest fundraising efforts for the Acalanes Boosters’ Club.   ANYONE who donated to the ABC this year could request matching gift funds from their employers.   Please take a minute to check if your employer has a Matching Gift Program.  We have hundreds of ABC donators who can potentially raise funds through this program.

Let’s try to collect as much FREE money as we can for our student athletes.  They deserve it!  This is time-sensitive and the cut off for requests is upon us, either Dec. 31, or Jan. 31, 2014. for fiscal year 2013.

Participating employers will have one or two+ donor programs:

1. Employers will match 1:1 eligible dollars donated.

2. Employers will provide a volunteer grant ie. $500 for volunteer hours per their guidelines.

For example, I have already contacted my employer and the ABC will receive $350 matching dollars for my donations, AND another $500 volunteer grant for meeting their criteria of 20-30 volunteer hours/calendar year.  $850 FREE dollars to the ABC.  WOW!  We have already received a few more matching gift donations this year as well.

Below are some easy instructions to follow.  If for any reason you are having difficulty with your submission, please feel free to contact me or your employer.  Mary Piscitelli 765-0457, I will be happy to help you.

A.      What is the proposed process?  It is very simple and will take just a few minutes.  (Time well spent!)

Go to the “acalanesboostersclub.com” web site.

Click on the last tab  ‘Gift Matching”, and it will bring you directly to the “Double the Donations” link and type in your company name.

See if your employer will match your donation!

Enter your company name ____________________________________________________

:

B.     If your employer participates, all their contact information will appear as well as any pertinent links to their company specific guidelines and submission forms etc.  If your company is not registered, I encourage you to call your HR department and inquire with them, sometimes it’s not publicized.

C.       Some employers will allow you to submit your request electronically, by e-mail, regular mail, &/or fax.  If your company has a secured web or e-mail, you will need your employee number and perhaps a password if you haven’t set it up already.      IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS INFORMATION, OR GET FRUSTRATED, PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP!   Call them directly for assistance.  They are very willing and happy to help guide you through the process.

D.  Send Brad and I an e-mail with a brief explanation of your donations &/or hours volunteered for that calendar year and we will confirm your qualifying donations when your employer contacts us.  If you need a receipt, we can provide that as well.

E.    Provide your company with;

-Your employee information
-Dollar amount you donated and are requesting a match for &/or number of hours volunteered.  Your donation was to the Acalanes Boosters’ Club
-ABC receipt, IF requested by the company.  (We can provide you with an ABC receipt)
-Contact information for our ABC rep. Brad Smith / or Mary Piscitelli
-ABC Tax ID  # 23-7428299, and school address 1200 Pleasant Hill Rd.
All the information you will need is listed on the web page for you.

Most companies already have the Acalanes Boosters Club information in their system.  Our Not-for-Profit Federal Tax ID# is nationally recognized.   Once the employer verifies the request, a check will be mailed directly to the ABC.  The checks are cut either monthly or quarterly according to their protocol.

What if you still have questions?

For questions regarding your company’s programs, please contact your employer’s HR or community giving department.  They are very helpful.  Most of the necessary information is also available on your company intranet.

Acalanes Boys Varsity Soccer Success can’t be taken away with one final game!

Acalanes 0, Saint Mary’s 1

Acalanes Boys Varsity Soccer Success can’t be taken away with one final game! After a wonderful season for Acalanes Boys Varsity Soccer Team, their obvious success cannot be taken away with one final game loss! Though painful on the night, that loss does not diminish the tremendous effort all the boys put out in training and in games throughout an entire season. The boys attitude and competitive nature brought them win after win, leading to an entertaining preseason tournament cup success over Campo. Then steamrolling through the DFAL league’s 12 games with 10 wins, two ties and no losses which included another fine drubbing of Campo in the league opener. The non-conference match up with Ygnacio Valley at Acalanes was a thing of beauty. Both teams brought the house down with quick, decisive and incredibly creative soccer. That game might have ended, 1-1, but the memory of some of the passing sequences and possession orientated soccer that evening, all remain high points of a fine season. All culminating in quarter-final berth against a talented Saint Mary’s at Acalanes and the presence of the biggest home crowd of the season.

Though the Don’s had the better of the first half, in the last 10 minutes Saint Mary’s pushed forward and found a goal with practically the last kick of the half. Incredibly, scored by the very same Duncan Jones, who’s strike sent the Don’s packing last season too! The second half slugfest wasn’t pretty but in the final few minutes the Don’s tried their best to score and came close after two goal mouth scrambles that saw Saint Mary’s defenders clear the ball valiantly as the Don’s tried in vain to find the net. But it wasn’t to be and the large crowd left disappointed after a most unattractive game and loss.

It happens in soccer, where two teams are so similar and evenly matched and with especially powerful defenses and goalies, they simply cancel each other out, neutralizing each other, rendering any resemblance of the beautiful game null and void. That’s what happened on the night, in a match without any meaningful possession for either team, it seemed creative play and attacking prowess remained on the benches while a kick and run, body punching fight took place on the park. There is beauty in that style of soccer too, but only for the victor to appreciate. The Don’s have been that victorious team so many times this season and so there’s absolutely no taking that away from them with this final game, and only loss in a memorable season.

And so as 15 graduating seniors kicked their last ball in high school and fifteen families ended 10 years of driving to practice and games, 10 years of Cherry Island, Morgan Hill, Heather Farms, Lafayette Community Park and hundreds of away games all over Northern California and beyond. But as an era ends for some, talented young boys like Ian Franklin, Wilson Hall, Eric Sirott and others will take their place and soccer will continue at the fine Acalanes Soccer Program we’ve all been proud to be a part of.

Dons Dispense with 16 Seed Piedmont in the Opening Game of the NCS Tourney

Acalanes 5, Piedmont 1

Halftime: 1-1. Scoring: Acalanes, N. Lee (D. Glascock) 19:00, M. Helfrich (N. Lee) 47:00,

K. Simonsen (M. Mirner) 63:00, M. Mirner (M. Helfrich) 72:00, D. Glascock (S. Lee) 77:00.

Piedmont, C. Hanf (A. Papachristopoulos) 26:00.

Records, Acalanes 22-0-3, Piedmont 8-10-1

On an atmospheric playoff evening at Acalanes, all was good. Playing a terribly young (just 3 seniors, 11 frosh/soph players) but pass savvy Piedmont HS, Acalanes used their own savvy to feel-out Piedmont in the first half before exerting their obvious superiority and power in the second half.

The match started brightly with end-to-end soccer, however it was noticeably different when each team pressed into the attacking third. While Piedmont’s plays tended to be broken up before they became dangerous, the Don’s forays often ended with serious threats on goal.  In the first 6 minutes alone, the Don’s speedy winger Ben Croze poured dangerous right wing crosses into Piedmont’s goal area, the first leading to a fine effort by the dangerous Nick Lee, who fired just over the crossbar. Croze’s second causing havoc with Piedmont’s defense at 6’s and 7’s.  On 16 minutes, a dangerous Piedmont free kick into the Don’s 6 yard box was caught well by high rising goalie Eric Rogstad.  As they say in soccer, bi-line crosses will kill you, and on an evening when all 5 Acalanes goals came from either bi-line or wide crosses, it’s hard to argue that poin

On 19 minutes, National HS player of the week, Danny Glascock, in Piedmont’s defensive third, chased down a ball at the bi-line and sent in a lobbed cross. Piedmont’s otherwise excellent goalie on the night, Corey Collier, somehow fumbled the ball only to see Nick Lee pounce and shoot into the net from close range, 1-0 Don’s.  A deserved goal for Acalanes after several dangerous attacks forward.  However, just 7 minutes later, uncharacteristically, the Don’s defense were caught napping as they left their goalie unprotected allowing Piedmont to score a terrific goal.  Attacking down the right wing, Piedmont’s Charlie Hanf found himself unmarked just outside the Don’s 18 yard box and charging into the box he sent a powerful low shot into the Don’s net, 1-1.   On 33 minutes, after winning a high ball at the edge of Piedmont’s goal area, Stuart Lee charged on goal only for goalie Corey Collier to make a fine save low.  Minutes later, a Stuart Lee wide right cross to a high rising Luc Van Oss was very well intercepted by Piedmont’s goalie, but now the Don’s were starting to exert themselves and put more and more pressure on Piedmont.  A patented Graham Lindgren long throw-in onto Piedmont’s goal area almost found Luc Van Oss.  Seconds later, again Van Oss was causing all kinds of problems as he rose above all in Piedmont’s goal mouth to send a powerful header over the crossbar from a dangerous, Stuart Lee right wing cross.  Now late in the first half it was all Don’s going forward while Piedmont were having a tough time getting up the park as the Don’s defensive midfield, in particular Graham Lindgren, were breaking up most plays, Lindgren himself had a game high 3 steals on the night.

Halftime 1-1  

The second half was all Don’s! In the first minute a crazy Piedmont goal-mouth scramble could have resulted in a Don’s goal as Piedmont defended stoutly.   A minute later, Max Mirner’s powerful shot went just wide of Piedmont’s goal.  On 47 minutes, Nick Lee, charging down the left wing, crossed beautifully for Mark Helfrich to scramble home from close range, 2-1 Don’s.  Now it was all Don’s all the time!  On 63 minutes, Max Mirner’s clever chip from the bi-line into the goal mouth at the near post was met by a half diving Kaj Somonsen, who’s fine header made it 3-1 Don’s.  Piedmont kept playing soccer as their pass savvy style will always earn them a good deal of  possession but with the Don’s senior filled squad, Piedmont’s younger team were starting to wilt in the face of bigger and stronger athletes.  As Piedmont tired they also started to rack up fouls and ended the game with 15 along with 3 yellows cards to boot.

On 66 minutes, a long Nick Warren free kick into Piedmont’s goal area was met well by Danny Glascock, who’s powerful header went just over Piedmont’s crossbar.  On 72 minutes, Mark Helfrich floated a fine sideline cross from near the corner flag into the box where the always flying high, Max Mirner met the ball with great heading technique to make it 4-1. (Shades of Christiano Ronaldo’s fine headed goal earlier in the day!)  On 77 minutes Glascock had another heading opportunity and this time his powerful header found the net.  A well driven corner kick by Stuart Lee went over Piedmont’s near post defenders,dipping at the far post where Glascock rose to bury his header for a 5-1 Don’s win.

Five terrific goals all off bi-line or wide crosses, that’s what soccer is all about!

Very well done Acalanes, in a game that saw every healthy Don’s player see minutes and contribute and where again, the Don’s stingy defense allowed very few chances to the opposition.

Next up, NCS Quarter finals against St. Mary’s, this Saturday, Feb 16, 7:00 PM at Acalanes.

Acalanes 2, Hayward 1

On a lovely calm evening when 15 graduating seniors were honored, it seemed fitting the star of the night was each of those graduating seniors as they presented beautiful flowers to their Moms. Interestingly, Coach Paul stated in his time at school, his parents attended just 3 of his events while many of our HS Varsity boys parents might count 3 times they missed games or events over a 10 year period of traveling soccer and many school functions. Has the world of parenting changed so much since us parents were in school? We can only assume so.

After a beautifully sung national anthem, our graduates took to the field against an excellent and tough tackling Hayward team. Both teams took off their gloves for this one and played 80 minutes of tough soccer with a tremendous commitment into the tackle while also exhibiting quality and pleasing on the eye possession soccer.

Acalanes started strong, playing in Hayward’s half in the opening spell. On one of Hayward’s rare early commitments forward, a stray pass by Acalanes found Hayward’s impressive, Catalino Gomez, in space at the edge of the Don’s goal area, realizing his fortune he sent a lobbed shot over the unprotected Acalanes goalie, Eric Rogstad, for a fine virtuoso goal and a 1-0 lead. Acalanes responded well with some fine play and several dangerous shots leading up to a terrific 18th minute, Nick Lee, low cross to Danny Glascock who wasted no time burying the ball inside the far post with the outside of his foot.

Tied at 1-1, the game progressed with end-to-end play to delight the crowd. As the first half clock ticked down, Acalanes were getting the best looks on goal and with winger Ben Croze displaying some of his best individual dribbling skills down the flanks. Hayward, though still very much in the game, were starting to get run ragged as their defense were drawn to Croze leaving space open for the Don’s to exploit.

Halftime 1-1

The second half started as the first ended and just two minutes in a Ben Croze corner was met perfectly by Danny Glascock who’s side footed half volley found the net from 8 yards out, 2-1 Dons.

For the remainder of the game the Don’s pushed forward as Hayward tired and shots from Ben Croze, Stuart Lee, Nick Lee, Max Mirner, Lenny Adkerson and Danny Glascock kept Hayward on the back foot. Hayward did manage a couple of highlights themselves with their own fine dribblers and play makers creating occasional havoc, though most of their fine play was broken up by the Don’s defense with Graham Lindgren quick into the tackle and Patrick Lundgren, James Lande and Nick Warren all making it difficult for Hayward’s forwards to get into the game. Strong performance by the Don’s against a very good Hayward side.

Halftime, 1-1. Scoring: Acalanes, D. Glascock (N. Lee) 18:00, D. Glascock (Croze) 43:00
Hayward, C. Gomez 7:00. Saves E. Rogstad (Acalanes) 1, J.Vazquez (Hayward) 5.
Overall Records: Acalanes 20-0-3, Hayward 12-3-3.

Acalanes remain unbeaten with a record of 20 wins, 3 ties and 0 losses!
Next up, Acalanes away at Alhambra, Wednesday, Feb 6 at 6:15 K/O (come on out and support the Don’s, this is the final game of the league season before the playoffs commence, Feb 13)

Acalanes 2, Dublin 0
Halftime 1-0. Scoring; Acalanes, Croze (Glascock) 19:00, Lindgren (Croze) 45:00. Saves, Rogstad 2 (Acalanes), Totaro 5 (Dublin). Records; Acalanes 9-0-2. Dublin 5-5-0

Solid defending and a fine late goalie save by Acalanes kept the Don’s rolling as they dominated a defiant Dublin in front of a large and ever growing Acalanes home fan base. Unbeaten and top of the league all the pressure was on the Don’s who started quickly playing the game in Dublin’s half in an opening spell that could have produced a goal or two for the Don’s as they whizzed shots on target or not far away. Dublin had decent moments too early on as they broke well from the half way line to give the Don’s something to think about however the Don’s defensive pace in both Nick Warren and James Lande was used to great effect in breaking up Dublin’s efforts.

On 12 minutes a Don’s incoming wing cross was met beautifully by Max Mirner, who’s well timed audacious overhead kick went just wide as Dublin breathed a sigh of relief. On 19 minutes Dan Glascock rolled a neat set-up pass to Ben Croze’s feet and the 2nd highest rated player in the DFAL showed his class in bending a 20 yarder around the goalie and just inside the far post to give the Don’s a deserved lead. On 29 minutes a Stuart Lee corner directed to the far post was met perfectly by a powerful Graham Lindgren header but Dublin’s goalie, Andrew Totaro, made a terrific point blank save. On 38 minutes Dublin scored themselves only to see the linesman rule it offside, a rare opportunity for Dublin as the first half closed in with the Don’s well in charge but with only a single goal to show for their efforts that included 9 shots and so many corner kicks.

Halftime Acalanes 1, Dublin 0.

The Don’s started the 2nd half as they did the first taking the game to Dublin. Just a few minutes in a right wing dead ball kick by Ben Croze was met by a surging Graham Lindgren who directed the ball goal bound for the Don’s second and much deserved 2-0 lead. On 58 minutes a through ball from Dan Glascock found flying winger Ben Croze who’s cross was met perfectly by Nick Lee, only to see his powerful shot fly over the cross bar. In the final moments of the game Dublin had a moment themselves as a square pass found their forward who ripped a powerful shot on goal only to see Don’s goalie, Eric Rogstad, who’d had little to do for 79 minutes, break into action with a tremendous leaping save to deny Dublin. Special mention to the Don’s bench who’s players came in and did the business.

The Acalanes men’s soccer team escaped with a 1-0 win over Dougherty Valley on Wednesday night in San Ramon.  The Dougherty Valley goalkeeper was in top form, stopping a number of great Acalanes scoring chances. It was not until the 64^th minute that Acalanes was able to take the lead.

In a scramble in front of the Dougherty Valley net a Dan Glascock shot was blocked but Max Mirner grabbed the rebound to score the game’s only goal.

The Dons needed to play tough team defense against a plucky Dougherty Valley team all the way to the final whistle. Luke Van Oss was named Man of the Match for his excellent defensive effort.  The Soccer Dons host Dublin on Friday night at 6:15 pm. The Dons also have their final regular season home game on Monday night against Hayward.  The Monday night game is Senior Night.

Avenging a frustrating tie against Miramonte on Friday, the Acalanes boys soccer team dominated Northgate in a 4-0 win on Monday night.  The game was not as close as the score suggested and the Dons pressed the attack as soon as the game started.  On three minutes Dan Glascock headed a long throw into the penalty area from Graham Lindgren to Max Mirner, who slotted it home for a 1-0 lead.

Not satisfied, the Dons immediately pressured Northgate’s net after the ensuing kick-off with Ben Croze, who was a threat all night, having a goal called back on an offsides call that had the home side fans scratching their heads.  On 20 minutes Acalanes made it 2-0 when Dan Glascock headed in another Graham Lindgren long throw in. The half continued with Acalanes having a majority of the possession.  The Dons were creative with their passing combinations and runs, constantly finding space down the wings.   The back four of Nick Warren, James Lande, Patrick Lundgren and Graham Lindgren also limited Northgate to only two shots on Eric Rogstad, which he handled with ease.  The teams went into intermission with Acalanes unable to extend its 2-0 lead.

The Dons picked up the second half right where they left off the first.  Sustained pressure on offense and tough defense from all of the Dons were the hallmarks of the night.  Northgate had trouble maintaining any possession as there was always an Acalanes player coming in with a well timed tackle or anticipating a play to intercept a pass.    In the 62nd minute Dan Glascock collected the ball near midfield and on a run right outside the box unleashed a laser shot that hit the cross bar and bounced.

Conrad Halverson demonstrated great poacher’s instincts by following the shot and putting the rebound in for a 3-0 Acalanes lead.  Acalanes finished its scoring in the 77th minute when Kaj Simonsen made a brilliant run down the right wing and put a perfect cross into the box which Zac Kramer one-timed powerfully into the net.  It was a great way to finish what was an excellent game for Acalanes.  All the boys played well and contributed to the victory.

Next up for Acalanes is Dougherty Valley on Wednesday night at 6:15.

The Acalanes boys soccer team tied Miramonte 0-0 on Friday night in a tense affair. The Dons started slowly, which gave Miramonte added confidence. The majority of the first half was played in the middle third of the field, with neither team able to sustain an attack. Miramonte did pose a counterattacking threat though, and on two occasions goalkeeper Eric Rogstad was required to make spectacular saves to keep Miramonte at bay.

The Acalanes boys came out in the second half with renewed energy and determination. Acalanes’ direct attacking style started to pay off as Acalanes was able to put the Miramonte defense under constant pressure.  The midfield of Dan Glascock, Max Mirner and Mark Helfrich was industrious and helped Acalanes maintain possession throughout the half. Ben Croze repeatedly tested the Miramonte keeper with a variety of shots. Dan Glascock, Luke Van Oss, Graham Lindgren and Stuart Lee all went close as well. Unfortunately, none of these shots found the back of the net.  On the defensive end, Acalanes’ back four neutralized the Miramonte attack such that Miramonte did not register a single shot on goal in the second half.

The final minutes of the game were nervy as Acalanes repeatedly pressed for a goal, but it was not to be. While the Dons maintained their undefeated season record, there were clearly disappointed that they did not convert any of their many chances. Acalanes next faces a tough Northgate side on Monday, January 28 at 6:00 p.m.
