This Dons squad continues to improve and, although it hasn’t translated to many wins just yet, this team feels dangerous and I mean that in the best way possible. Friday night brought the Ygnacio Valley Wolves (17-5, 8-0 in League) into town and this was easily the most well attended home game the entire season by the ACA Students who…
“We are awesome.” Declared center Deonte Littlejohn. Deonte, who did not play last season due to injury, further added: “We are playing incredible basketball and can beat anyone.” True to Deonte’s words, the Dons can beat anyone and did so on Friday night. The JV hoopsters dismantled the Ygnacio Valley Wolves by a score of 68-26. The team of destiny…
On Monday the girls traveled to Walnut Creek for a match-up with Berean Christian and their Cal-bound post. With our girls short handed (injuries) a challenge was expected, however, it never materialized thanks to an explosive first half performance.

It was another rainy winter night in Portland, whoops I mean Lafayette, for this huge crosstown rivalry game Wednesday night between your Dons and the Miramonte Matadors (14-7, 4-3). You could tell right away this was going to be another good one that could go down to the wire, and it did not disappoint. Back and forth high scoring first…
Acalanes Wrestling was in action Wednesday night at the league duals held at Concord high. The Dons were scheduled to take on Ygnacio Valley and Berean Christian. Unfortunately Ygnacio Valley was unable to field a team this season, so that left the young Dons with just one dual against Berean Christian. The Dons were able to come together and get…
I heard from some disgruntled fans last night who were disappointed that I haven’t included any soccer trivia recently like the history of the game/field/ball, viewership, terminology, women in the sport, etc. Not sure if this counts, but I did hear that the Warner Bros. TV CEO recently said that Ted Lasso may get renewed for a 4th season. Perhaps…
Frosh/Soph Girls Soccer played two tough games in the rain over the weekend: The first was against a Las Lomas team that was firing on all cylinders. Svea Staino got things started off by knocking in the first goal shortly after the start of the game. Las Lomas had a number of shots on the goal that kept our goalie…
