Before we get to the two homeruns by Esa Orman, let’s talk about the no hitter! The Dons’s two pitchers, Lana Cerejo and Maya Shoenhair didn’t allow a single hit, as the Dons defeated the Encinal Jets 15-2 on Friday. With these two on the mound and a strong defense in the field the Jets were grounded for take-off in…
After splitting their first two games in Marin last week the Dons started the home season against Amador Valley and Monte Vista High Schools on Thursday and Friday. Peter Thorn started on the hill for the Dons, for his third appearance in three games, as the boys took on the Dons of Amador Valley first. It was a tough first…
The Dan Gabor Invitational on Saturday brought not only champion to the Track and Field but also the notorious time shattering winds and rains that are synonymous with this Memorial Invitational. Good job to everyone who was able to compete in the morning sessions and Distance in the afternoon. I don’t have any times for Distance, unfortunately. On Wednesday, we are away at Clayton…
Friday night’s game against Las Lomas proved to be an easy one against an over matched Las Lomas squad. The Lady Dons played our Saturday squad of less experienced players during the second half. It was great to see how well both the experienced and newer players played in this game. Thirteen different players scored goals, with the following scoring…

Thank you to all who came out to Metro last night for the parent/coach mixer. It was a great time! Go Dons! – Coach Joe and Coach Bruno
I am starting to realize that writing for JV baseball is way harder than writing for Frosh baseball. Why? Not only do I have to get to the field by 3:30 two weekdays per week, but I also have to write twice as many articles since there are no double headers. All of this is my way of saying that…
It was a good day to be a Don and even a better day if you are a Softball Don, as they took down Salesian, 17 to 8 on Wednesday. The game was to be an away game, but as the Salesian field was underwater, the Dons played at home as the visiting team. It didn’t matter, home or…
