The Dons opened league play at Las Lomas Friday night, facing a powerful Knights team that featured Oregon State-commit Isaiah Newell (considered by many the top running back in the Bay Area) and athletic two-way player Elijah Lash.  Unfortunately, the Dons were unable to continue their three-game winning streak, as Las Lomas prevailed 42-21.

Highlights for the Dons included two TD runs by Jake Delaney (one was an exciting 71-yard run down the sideline) and Jack Muren’s return to the lineup after being sidelined by injury – Muren finished with 12 receptions. 

On the defensive side, Luke Miles had a pick-six interception, and nineteen different Dons had tackles.  The Dons run defense was led by Tommy Thrasher and Joey Carillo, while Mike O’Donnell recovered a fumble.
