Dons Kick Off Their Football Season Saturday at Home…FINALLY!

It is a GREAT Day to be a Don.

Looking back on Fall Football 2019: DAL Football Champions

The Dons have stuck it out and now they are ready to bring it on.

Dons football players and coaches have made it clear that obstacles and challenges from the past months and whatever issues there will be in the future don’t matter. They are focused on finally getting a delayed football season under way this Saturday in a scrimmage game against the Granada Matadors (Varsity and JV) and California Grizzlies (Frosh).

“Football is like life. It requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication, and respect for authority.” *–Vince Lombardi*

At this point, it doesn’t matter that the season will be played in the spring, the Dons are ready to play in any season, any day and anywhere. Players and coaches will be covid tested every week, wear masks on the sidelines and limited masked fans (family members) in the bleachers. The season will consist of six games and no playoffs. There’s genuine excitement from coaches, players and fans, maybe even more than a normal season. There is definitely an extra giddy-up in the Dons step ever since it was announced there would be a season…one step closer to DON-ination.

Every practice and every game figures to be precious because no one knows how smoothly this season will proceed. The Dons know there’s no ring, no playoffs, but they will put it out on the field for Acalanes: all students, teachers, friends and families. To watch the game LIVE, the Acalanes Touchdown Club has organized live steaming for a small fee of $5

*Senior # 8 Brady Huchingson*-as a quarterback, you try to manage the game. It’s not just throwing the ball. You have to manage the running game and getting out of bad situations and there are a lot of things to it….and Brady is ready to do the job!

Saturday, March 6 is a scrimmage game at home with Frosh team at 1pm, JV team at 3pm and Varsity team at 5pm. This event is closed to students with limited family members in attendance. Listed below is the schedule for our Dons. This schedule is subject to change.
